Charlize Theron Responds To Facelift Rumors

Charlize Theron has just had to shut down rumours surrounding plastic surgery. 

“My face is changing, and I love that my face is changing and aging. People think I had a facelift. They’re like, ‘What did she do to her face?’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I’m just aging!’ It doesn’t mean I got bad plastic surgery. This is just what happens.” 

“I’ve always had issues with the fact that men kind of age like fine wines and women like cut flowers. I despise that concept, and I want to fight against it. I also think women want to age in a way that feels right to them. I think we need to be a little bit more emphatic to how we all go through our journey.” 

Her aging journey has been documented through her work in film and beauty campaigns. She has been an ambassador for Dior since 2004. She also got candid about a different aging aspect; weight gain.

“To see my face on a billboard is quite funny now. I will never, ever do a movie again and say, ‘Yeah, I’ll gain 40 pounds.’ I will never do it again because you can’t take it off. When I was 27, I did Monster. I lost 30 pounds, like, overnight. I missed three meals and I was back at my normal weight.” 

“Then I did it at 43 for Tully, and I remember a year into trying to lose the weight, I called my doctor and I said, ‘I think I’m dying because I cannot lose this weight.’ And he was like, ‘You’re over 40. Calm down. Your metabolism is not what it was.' Nobody wants to hear that.” 

While adapting to the changes that come with aging, she's also shifted priorities, especially around her beauty regime.

“At my age now and my lifestyle, and the fact that I’m pretty much an Uber driver for my kids, I can’t even imagine waking up in the morning and having to do anything other than wash [my hair] and just let it dry while I’m going about my day."

This relaxed sentiment is also being applied to other aspects of her life.

“Obviously, my unions are on strike, so I’m kind of forcefully told not to work, and I’m gonna take advantage of that. I feel like I want to live more in the moment and worry less about how I’m scheduling the future.”
