Drew Barrymore talks about the acting industry's obsession with cosmetic surgery
Drew Barrymore could definitely teach Hollywood's new generation a thing or too - the actress's production company has put out some of the most successful films of the last decade and her directorial debut Whit It is already garnering acclaimed reviews, but it's body image that she's been preaching about most recently, explaining:
"F**k surgery! I'm so curious as to what's going to happen naturally that I can't imagine wanting to alter things just yet.
"And to all those women putting botulism in their faces - we don't know what the long-term effects are, so stop! I'd rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face!"
Listen and learn young stars...
"I admit I've been fortunate. I'm not at that place yet, age-wise, and maybe when I am I'll feel that way. But I think, 'Get over it! Don't be bitter! Figure out something else to do with your life.
"It sucks that it's sexist, and it sucks that it's not often the case for men, but you don't have to sit on the couch and be angry that you're not getting roles. Pick up a camera, work at a dog rescue home, become a writer - there are a million things to do in this world."
You tell 'em, Drew.
