Actress Amanda Seyfried understands Botox

Monday, March 21st, 2011

American actress Amanda Seyfried has told Elle magazine that she understands why Botox has become such a big part of life on the silver screen.

The 25-year-old was recently told that she needed Botox and at first was affronted by the suggestion, but having reflected on the comment, she understands why.

Talking to Elle magazine, Seyfried said: “I was like, damn you! But we’re in Hollywood. I’m on a huge screen. With these new digital cameras, you can see the peach fuzz on my face.”

More and more actors and actresses are choosing to undergo non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as Botox, and as with many things, once celebrities start doing it, the general public will often follow suit. The demand for completely smooth, wrinkle-free skin has risen with the advent of high-definition television, and this has also caused a rise in the number of female film and television stars choosing to shave their faces, to get rid of what Seyfried calls “peach fuzz”.
