(Photo by Dianna Whitley\/Getty Images)\u201cI just don\u2019t give a s\u2014,\u201d she said in an interview with\u00a060 Minutes Australia. \u201cI think I look rad. I think my face represents who I am. I like it.\u201d\u201cI feel like I would erase, not only all my authority that I have now, but also, I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20. I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence.\u201dJustine Bateman is now 57, and like many actresses of her age she has faced pressure to get plastic surgery \u2014 but instead, she has decided to never get any work done and embrace her age.Bateman said she received insulting comments about her looks from the time she was 40, and people compared her naturally-aging face to a \u201csea hag\u201d and a \u201cmeth addict.\u201d She felt pressure to get cosmetic surgery or botox.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought my face looked fine,\u201d she told\u00a0People\u00a0in 2021. \u201cAnd then because of some of the fears I had, unrelated to my face, I decided to make them right and me wrong\u2026 I became really ashamed of my face, ridiculously so.\u201dBut eventually Bateman decided to ignore the criticisms about her looks and embrace natural aging. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to make that fear go away by changing your face,\u201d she said.\u201cIf you go and get plastic surgery, you\u2019re going to look different. Okay. You\u2019ll have that, but you haven\u2019t dealt with what the fear was. That fear will continue\u2026 I think getting all this plastic surgery is just people pleasing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress, who previously wrote about this issue in her book\u00a0Face: One Square Foot of Skin, said she feels \u201csad\u201d for women preoccupied with cosmetic procedures and hopes they will embrace their natural beauty.\u201cI feel sad that they\u2019re not just enjoying life,\u201d she told\u00a060 Minutes. \u201cI feel sad that they are distracted from the things that they\u2019re meant to do in life with this consuming idea that they\u2019ve got to fix their face before anything else can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
