Pretty Much The Same Faced Woman
by Ryan Porter
Julia Roberts rails against Botox, and yet hasn't aged, like, ever.
Julia Roberts is growing old gracefully. This is easier to do when you look exactly the same as you did 15 years ago, except with better hair, but let's give Julia a "way to be" for the sentiment.
She tells
Elle she hasn't had anything done, not even everyone's favourite bee poison, Botox. "It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons," she tells
Elle.
"I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates. I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy, and when I'm confounded. Your face tells a story... and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office." That, and, seriously?, no one cares. Leave bigger tips and people will think you're just as beautiful.
I'm surprised there isn't more of a story on Julia's face about all the million-dollar smiles she's flashed. And yet those lines aren't any deeper than an
Ocean's 11 movie. What's her secret? She told David Letterman it's "the love of a good man, good kids [and] I eat a lot." Surprising! I was going to guess makeup, lighting, and bathing in Jonas Brother blood.
