Before and after pictures of some of Hollywood's most handsome actors
In 2015, 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson spoke to People about aging and how she doesn't really find it a big deal. She did say she had tried botox once, however.
She once told TV Movie: "I have also tried botox. I didn't like how my face looked afterwards. Now I don't use it anymore–I can move my forehead again!"

In 2016 'Friends' actress Courteney Cox revealed that she had some regrets about the plastic surgery she had opted for. She said: "I was trying to keep up with getting older and trying to chase that [youth]."
Cameron Diaz thinks that people should understand the reason others do botox. In 2016 she explained to the Huffington Post:"They're to help people feel a little bit better about themselves."
However, she continued: "What I don't agree with is young people doing it. When I heard a girl talk about getting Botox for her bat mitzvah, I thought my head was going to blow off!"
For Julia Roberts, botox is not an option because it would limit her facial expressions. She once told Elle magazine, "I want my kids to know when I'm angry, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded."
It was Harper's Bazaar who posed the question, and the actress simply responded, "Oh f*** no!"
There was a caveat, though: "But I also think you have to do your research, so you know what to expect—that you'll look fresher but not necessarily younger."
Actress Kate Winslet, who is best known for films such as 'Titanic' (1997) and 'The Holiday' (2006), didn't mince her words when asked if she had tried botox.
She went on: "Sometimes we forget that there is a choice. I choose not to do this. It's like wearing multiple pairs of Spanx: Good for you, not for me. Not mandatory."
She said: “I am the last person to try Botox but I did. I felt like my eyes sunk into my head so far that I didn’t look look like me anymore! I’m not into all that stuff... I think a little bit of maintenance is good."
She went on: "It's something you can't keep up with. Sometimes you find yourself trying [to stop the aging process] and then you look at a picture of yourself and you go, 'Oh god, I look horrible.'"
She went on: "If they do feel better about themselves, then those procedures have worked. I have no problem with that."
She added: "Your face tells a story and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office."
To quote the actress: "L.A. scares the c**p out of me. I feel if I have to work out four hours a day ... and have Botox at 22, and obsess about how I look the whole time, I will go mad, I will absolutely lose it."
In 2016 Christie Brinkley spoke to New Beauty about the first time she tried botox in her forehead. She revealed: “I actually started to feel depressed. My face lacked expression."
Actress Emma Watson, who is best known for her role as Hermione in the 'Harry Potter' film series, once gave an interview with Harper's Bazaar in which she spoke about the pressures of Hollywood.
In a 2016 interview with Town & Country, Tina Fey gave her two cents on the topic. She said: "We've been so conditioned now to never see a real human face, one that moves, with its original teeth."
She continued: “Of course, I want to look the best I can, but I am playing characters that should match my age and the women and the material that I am interested in are usually going through something. I have to be able to live in my face and tell the story of the character I’ve taken on."
For Nicole Kidman, the best bet for keeping a youthful image is good nutrition and exercise. She doesn't think that procedures like botox really work.
She expanded: "I think it just makes them look like they had something done to their face, and I don't think we find that instinctually appealing."
According to the same magazine, Brinkley did try botox again, just not on her face. She went for a neck treatment instead, which comes with a lesser risk of changing your look.
When in 2013 she was asked about botox, Halle Berry told InStyle, "I think that's something everyone needs to decide for herself." Clearly for the actress it is about personal choice.
During a 2010 interview for Allure magazine, actress Julianne Moore was asked for her thoughts on cosmetic procedures, including botox. She said: "I don't believe it makes people look better."
She once told InStyle: "I’m not going to lie to myself, past a certain age, creams work on the texture of your skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, botox, and collagen."
According to supermodel Cindy Crawford, past a certain age, botox is one of the few things that really works if you are looking to restore elasticity.
In 2016 actress Naomi Watts told New Beauty: "Personally, I feel for me it’s tough to do botox—but it’s also tough not to! Sometimes, I think I need the help. Whatever anyone else chooses is fine with me, no judgment."
She revealed: "I want laser treatment because I'm not a fan of my wrinkles. But I have to find someone with a light touch. I'm scared I'll end up looking like the Joker."
Former child star-turned adult actress Brooke Shields told the Ladies' Home Journal in 2010 that she had tried botox, but was wary about doing any more plastic surgery.
In 2014 an InStyle interviewer asked 'Modern Family' actress Sofia Vergara what she thought about botox. She answered: "If it makes you happier and more confident, then why not?"
The use of botox injections for cosmetic purposes is one of the more controversial beauty topics of the 21st century. Some feel that people should be free to undergo treatment if they feel it will give them more confidence, while others feel that cosmetic procedures emanate a toxic beauty culture that is based on pretense.
Celebrities in the spotlight are often judged harshly if they choose to have botox injections, and yet they are also judged harshly for looking older. The discourse has prompted many stars to speak publicly on the topic.
The latest and perhaps most unexpected of which is Joe Jonas. “We’re all getting older and part of that is being comfortable [in our skin],” the 33-year-old musician told People along with the announcement that he is the new celebrity brand partner for Xeomin, an anti-wrinkle injectable similar to Botox which temporarily reduces the appearance of frown lines and wrinkles.
“We can be open and honest about it and be confident and not really shy away from speaking our truth," the middle Jonas Brother said, explaining that he used the injectables for his frown lines and to smooth out a scar between his eyebrows. He added that by speaking about his cosmetic treatments he hopes other men will feel comfortable to do the same. “There were all these talks at one point, like, ‘Oh, men can’t do this or it’s weird for guys to do that,’ and I think there’s a stigma that’s fading, and I like that,” he said. “Guys are more openly wearing makeup, and it’s great to see. It’s like, do whatever you want, you know? It’s a beautiful generation that we’re living in.”
