Courteney Cox, who is best known for playing Monica Geller on Friends, has talked about how hard it has been for her to deal with plastic surgery. During a talk with The Sunday Times Style, Cox said,
There was a time when you go, “Oh, I’m changing. I’m looking older.” And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years. And I didn’t realise that, oh s***, I’m actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now.
Cox finally woke up when she found out that her close friends were talking about how she looked. She said as she talked about the turning point,
I’d say, the day you realise what your friends were talking about. Because people would talk about me, I think. But there was a period where I went, ‘I’ve got to stop. That’s just crazy.’
Now, Cox has gotten rid of her fillers and wants to look more natural.
The scrutiny is intense, but I don’t know if it could be more intense than what I put on myself. I’m a product w****. I will try anything.
This isn’t the first time Cox has talked honestly about getting older. Cox has been asked a lot of questions about her appearance for many years. She has been in the public eye for almost 30 years, but her first surgeries were done at a different time. In 2017, the Scream actress opened up to Cortney Pellettieri at New Beauty.
What would end up happening is that you would go to a doctor who would say, ‘You look great, but what would help is a little injection here or filler there.’ You walk out and you don’t look so bad and you think, no one noticed — it’s good. Then, somebody tells you about another doctor… the next thing you know, you’re layered and layered. You have no idea, because it’s gradual.
