Aimee Lou Wood recently shared her strong stance against Botox, emphasizing that her facial expressions are a key part of her acting and identity. On the Run-Through with Vogue podcast, the Sex Education actress confidently stated, “I’m very anti-Botox” and clarified that while she’s not judging others who choose cosmetic procedures, she values her ability to show emotion through her face. For her, staying expressive is essential to her craft, and she doesn’t want to risk freezing her face.
Wood also shared some humor about her overly expressive nature, admitting that sometimes her face moves more than she intends, especially in scenes where she tries to maintain composure. She joked about how actors who can keep a still face often look “hot and cool,” but she could never pull off the poker-faced approach.
Wood also touched on her signature front teeth, which have drawn attention over the years. She said it was a full-circle moment for her, as she was once bullied for them but now embraces them as part of her uniqueness. She also made a bold choice to avoid veneers, calling herself rebellious in defiance of Hollywood’s beauty standards.
It’s refreshing to see an actress so comfortable in her skin and unapologetically herself, isn’t it? Would you want to hear more about how other stars feel about beauty standards in Hollywood?
