The Real Reason Kate Beckinsale Will Never Get Plastic Surgery
In a world of Botox, injections, fillers, and a myriad of other forms of plastic surgery, there's a growing list of celebrities who are openly opting out of getting work done. That list includes major names like Lucy Liu, who doesn't even drink coffee; Julia Roberts, who has admitted to getting Botox in the past but didn't like the results; Heidi Klum, who is literally scared of plastic surgery; and Kate Winslet. In fact, Winslet went so far as to tell The Telegraph that plastic surgery "goes against [her] morals," explaining that she'll never give in as she prefers a more "natural beauty."
Well, we've got one more name to add to the list: actress Kate Beckinsale. In 2012, the British bombshell told Glamour U.K. (via ABC News) that she's not afraid to age gracefully. That being said, it's worth noting that there's no moral superiority in choosing one path over another, just a different perspective when it comes to the way people choose to age.
For Beckinsale, plastic surgery is just not in her future — here's why.
Kate Beckinsale says to 'enjoy the hell' out of beauty while you have it
In 2012, Kate Beckinsale got candid with Glamour U.K. about her opinions on plastic surgery, saying (via ABC News), "I much prefer how my mother looks to the people I see here [in Los Angeles] with wind-tunnel face."
She continued: "I feel like beauty is a gift that you have for a while, and you enjoy the hell out of it while you have it. And if you're lucky enough to have a daughter and you give it to her, you enjoy the fact she has it. My mother was always very, very beautiful — she still is, in her sixties."
But Beckinsale's motivation for speaking out against artificial beauty standards has to do with the fact that they can put unnecessary pressure on people, especially new moms. "There's an obsessional hatred of normal human processes. Pregnancy changes a woman's body and should. It isn't normal to not look like you've had a baby immediately after you've had a baby." Amen, sister!
So how does Beckinsale stay looking so good? In 2018, The Sun reported that the actress does "brutal cardio" six times a week and opts for protein and veggies. Beckinsale's routine is obviously working. She looks awesome!
