Courteney Cox regrets her aesthetic touch-ups: "I tried to chase youth for years"
The protagonist of Friends assures that there came a time when she said "I have to stop. This is crazy."
Although she had been a well-known face in the United States for years, the name of Courteney Cox became popular worldwide in 1994 when she became part of the cast of Friends, one of the greatest phenomena in television history. She was 30 years old at the time and her role as Mónica de Ella catapulted her to a fame that she maintains today and about which she has spoken in a long interview with the Sunday Times.
In it, she has also taken the opportunity to recognize her regrets about the aesthetic touch-ups to which she has been subjected over the last decades and how badly she has aging. "There was a time when I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself 'I look older'. And I tried to pursue that youth for years," said the actress, who has recounted how she began to undergo all kinds of interventions. "One day someone tells you 'you're fine, but you could use a filler injection here and here. The first time you leave happy, because it's barely noticeable, but then you repeat, and repeat, until you see yourself in a photo and you say 'oops, this is terrible'", has counted.
She has reported that she did not realize how her image was transforming and how "strange" she was and that it was as a result of the comments of her followers on social networks comparing her before and after treatments when she said to herself , "I have to stop. This is crazy."
Four years have passed since then, a time when she dissolved her facial fillers and put injections aside so she could age as naturally as possible. Even so, she admits that she is still "a product whore" and that she can't help "anything" to slow down the passage of time. "There's nothing wrong with being 60 years old, I just can't believe it. Time goes by so fast," laments the interpreter, who at 57 is engaged to singer Johnny McDaid.
The passage of time in Hollywood
Courteney Cox's reflection on her bad relationship with old age coincides with what Emma Thomson expressed a few days ago during the presentation of her latest film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, about why many women in Hollywood give in to that" form of collective psychosis".
In addition, the British stated that "Women have been brainwashed all their lives so that we hate our bodies. That is the fact. And everything that surrounds us reminds us how imperfect we are, and that everything is wrong with us" .
