Carrie Coon is getting candid about ageism in Hollywood.
In a new interview with Glamour, the “White Lotus” actress, 44, opened up about her choice not to get Botox and how it’s resulted in her being typecast in more mature roles.
“We all have a way we present in the world. The perception of me is that I am verbal, intellectual,” Coon told the outlet in the interview published Monday. “My voice is lower and I don’t have Botox, so I tend to play older than I am. And so I’ve always had a gravitas or some authority.”
Botulinum toxin, known as Botox, is an injectable treatment for wrinkles and fine lines on the face. The cosmetic procedure, which temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles to form, is popular among Hollywood stars who want to smooth out lines on their face.
Coon shared that she passes “no judgment” on anyone who decides to undergo cosmetic procedures, adding, “You’ve got to do what makes you feel good, what makes you feel like the authentic version of yourself.”
