After years and years of claiming that her youthful and wrinkle-free complexion was "completely natural", Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman has finally come clean and admitted to using Botox.
The 43-year-old Oscar-winning star has confessed to using the wrinkle-freezing jabs but added she no longer has the injections because she doesn't like the results.
The Australian actress, married to country singer Keith Urban with whom she has a young daughter Sunday Rose, made the admission to a German interviewer when asked how she keeps lines and wrinkles at bay.
She replied: "I’ve tried a lot of things but apart from working out and a good diet most things don’t help. I even tried Botox but I didn’t like how my face looked afterwards. Now I don’t use it anymore – and I can move my forehead again."
Back in 2007, Nicole declared to a glossy magazine that she was "completely natural", continuing: "I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that."
And in 2009, she criticised stars who had Botox, telling the Daily Mail: "When you’re in Australia, you spend a lot of time inside if you’re fair-skinned because you burn. My mum would keep me indoors, and I would read books as I wasn’t able to go to the beach very often. I always felt like I wasn’t the cool girl at school.
“For an actor, facial expressions and emotions are really important. That’s why I’ll never have Botox. I’ve always been against that and seeing Botox on TV with all the swelling and pain put me off it anyway. The directors always allow actors with Botox but I just say. “No way, not for me”.
“Drinking lots of water, eating fruit and doing yoga is what keeps me looking young naturally. I swear by it. I also use creams with natural ingredients to make wrinkles less visible. Everybody should try these things rather than going the plastic route, which I just hate.”
If only more stars could be more honest...
