Courteney Cox, best known for her role in “Friends,” recently discussed her past experiences with anti-aging fillers on the “Gloss Angeles” podcast.
The 58-year-old actress admitted to hosts Kirbie Johnson and Sarah Tan Christensen that using too many injectables was her biggest beauty mistake, leading to a cascade of unintended consequences.
Reflecting on her reliance on fillers, Cox acknowledged that it can be a slippery slope.
She revealed, “It’s a domino effect.
You don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more, ‘cause you look normal to yourself.” The actress further shared how easy it is to become oblivious to the gradual changes when looking at oneself in the mirror.
Having gone through the experience of excessive filler usage, the “Scream” star disclosed that she eventually had to undergo a process to remove them.
Expressing gratitude for the reversibility of the procedure, Cox expressed relief in being able to undo most of the effects caused by her past actions.
Acknowledging her past missteps, Cox highlighted the evolution in her perspective towards aging over time.
She emphasized the futility of worrying about getting older prematurely, deeming it as both distressing and unproductive.
The actress now advocates for embracing natural aging gracefully without resorting to drastic measures.
Cox has been vocal about her journey of reversing the effects of fillers in previous interviews as well.
In a candid discussion with NewBeauty back in June 2017, she admitted to exacerbating her appearance while attempting to maintain a youthful look.
Visiting multiple practitioners for injections only led her to eventually remove them all, opting for a more natural aesthetic.
In a more recent interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine in February 2022, Cox reflected on her realization about the adverse impacts of trying to combat the aging process artificially.
She candidly admitted, “I didn’t realize that, oh s–t, I’m actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now.” This introspection underscores her shift towards a more authentic and accepting approach to aging gracefully.
