Kristin Davis knows that women in Hollywood are held to an impossible standard when it comes to ageing.
“It’s hard to be constantly confronted with your younger self,” Davis told The Telegraph in an article published on Friday, a reference to her decades on television.
“And it’s a challenge to remember that you don’t have to look like that,” she said. “The internet wants you to – but they don’t want you to. They’re very conflicted…”
The Sex and the City actress told the outlet she first tried Botox and then “didn’t do anything else for a long time” before moving on to fillers.
“I’ve done fillers and it’s been good and I’ve done fillers and it’s been bad,” the entertainer continued. “I’ve had to have them dissolved and I’ve been ridiculed mercilessly. And I have shed tears over it. It’s very stressful.
Davis said that although the work is done by doctors, “people blame us personally when it goes wrong”.
Davis also spoke about the work she had done on her lips.
“Nobody told me for a long time it didn’t look good,” she said, according to The Telegraph.
“But luckily I have good friends who eventually said,” Davis added. “The thing is, you don’t smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people.”
Recently, Davis’ SATC co-star Kim Cattrall made headlines for retracting an old statement about plastic surgery. Cattrall told the Daily Mail in 2011 that she wanted to “embrace aging because I think it’s interesting”.
That was then. “I probably said that when I was in my forties! I’m in my sixties now and I’m all about fighting ageing in any way I can,” she told The Sunday Times in an interview published over the weekend. “There are so many other alternatives now, treatments that stimulate your own body to fight ageing.
“There’s fillers, Botox, there’s so many different things you can investigate and try and see if it’s for you,” she continued. “But yes, if you have the money and, more importantly, the right surgeon. You can’t stress that enough. You want to look like you.
