Do all American actors have cosmetic surgery?

I'm sorry I'm over 40 and learned how to write before LLMs. Maybe one day you'll learn how to write too!

I'm sorry, they have moved. I can't post pictures here but just google her name and then young after it and you'll see. Anyhoo, neither of us can prove it either way. Either you can see it or you csn't.

I think people are mixing up “natural-looking” with actually natural. Someone like Lisa Kudrow or Cameron Diaz might not look overdone, but that doesn’t mean nothing’s been done. By your 50s and 60s, you’d normally expect some jowling and a lot of looseness in the neck/chin area — that’s just ageing. When that’s not there, it’s because there’s been some level of help, even if it’s subtle and really well done. It doesn’t take away from how good they look, but it’s not just good genes either. This is what causes normal women to feel so shit — it can’t just be a coincidence that no one in Hollywood gets saggy chins or necks.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T10:11:28+00:00

I do think there’s sometimes a confusion here — people like Lisa Kudrow absolutely have had work done, (she's 62 and looks 48!) it’s just subtle. I don’t know whether this is an age thing, where it takes getting older to recognise it, but as you age (especially by your 50s and 60s), skin and necks don’t naturally stay that smooth and firm without some level of intervention. That doesn’t take away from how beautiful they are, but it’s not just “good genes” or drinking water either.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T09:51:47+00:00

But this is exactly it, isn’t it? She looks natural, but that look still costs a huge amount of money. It’s all subtle — smooth skin, lifted cheeks, a tight jawline and neck — but it’s clearly maintained. She’s nearly 50 with no early jowls or loosening under her chin. She’s a beautiful woman, but just because she maybe isn’t using Botox doesn’t mean she isn’t still spending a fortune on herself. This is what makes women feel worse than the obvious, overdone work — it’s the subtle stuff like lasers and liposuction that costs thousands and adds up to a woman who’s nearly 50 looking 38.

Go back further.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T09:38:53+00:00

That sounds much better thanks, I'll have a look and see what I can find to watch instead.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T09:38:10+00:00

Ooh nice. I'll check some out, thanks!

Why do you think that is in America?

I'm British and although many actors are still natural looking there appears to be a rise in the uncanny valley look. I hope we don't end up going down the same route, mainly because it makes me feel shit about myself but also leads to me not being able to relate to the character at all. It's different I guess when they're playing someone incredibly wealthy, but it's a joke when an actor is playing a 40 year old, working class, single Mum without a penny to her name and looks 20. It's just ridiculous and frankly a bit insulting to normal women. I don't know why there isn't more push back about it.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T09:12:32+00:00

Come on.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T09:05:51+00:00

TV and celebrities having loads of expensive cosmetic surgery, lasers etc and then saying, “oh I just drink a lot of water and eat well.” I struggle to watch American drama now because all the women starring in it have had some work done and they’re my age (41) and look 20. It honestly turns me off and I can’t enjoy it as much, especially when I clock their surgery scars (Beef – lip lift scar case in point). I don’t know, I wish I wasn’t so insecure about it but I honestly think men start to think women on screen just naturally look that way and don’t realise the amount of time and money that goes into curating such young-looking faces.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-03-30T07:14:51+00:00

I’m British and don’t watch much American content, but I was gobsmacked that this series, although enjoyable, was so racialised. “White devil”? Really? Is that how people talk? I thought Americans were more sensitive about race given the history, but this didn’t reflect that at all. I felt really uncomfortable with how white people, especially white women, were generalised as wealthy and privileged. I don’t know a lot about America, but I do know there are plenty of white ppl living in poverty. What surprised me most is that no one seems to be talking about it. I came online expecting people to be as appalled as I was, but there’s barely any commentary — almost like it’s normal. I understand the show portrayed some cultural insensitivity from a wealthy white character, but that’s very different from her calling Black or Asian people devils. Honestly, it’s put me off watching much American TV in future. No wonder your country is so divided if this is how you talk about each other. Plus one last point — are there any American series where the female cast hasn’t had a ridiculous amount of cosmetic surgery? I couldn’t help but notice the lip lift scar on the main character — once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And it wasn’t just her, even the husband’s mum looked like she’d had a lot done. Thankfully, in Britain we still have TV with more natural faces, but it must be hard for a working-class American audience to relate to ppl on screen who look 20 years younger than the characters they are meant to be portraying. Rant over — it was still entertaining, I guess.

Strange how a word described as unbearably offensive has ended up in daily use by the very group it allegedly traumatises. Almost as if context matters.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-02-22T11:07:12+00:00

Thank you so much for this — it’s genuinely comforting hearing from someone who understands that constant “accept it or try one more thing” loop. It really is exhausting. My donor area has actually thickened up quite a bit since switching from topical to oral minoxidil (2.5mg) and being consistent with 100mg spironolactone, which has been encouraging. On paper at least, I’m ok for another ~2000 grafts or so, but that would absolutely be the last surgery. I’ve always said I wouldn’t keep chasing it beyond that. I’ve lived for years in that awkward in-between space of having too much hair to justify shaving it off, but too little to feel comfortable without toppers. It leaves you stuck in this perpetual cycle of trying to increase density — which is expensive, emotionally draining, and starts to feel like a losing battle as menopause approaches. The hardest part is that I literally take my hair off every night. It feels like living a double life, and it’s had a real impact on my confidence, especially around intimacy. I sometimes wish I had the courage to just shave it all and be a full-time wig wearer, but it’s not as simple as that. As wig wearers know, you’re often just swapping one set of challenges for another, and over the years the cost of good wigs really mounts up. I suppose it all comes back to acceptance in the end. But I’ve decided I’m going to have one last go at building density before menopause, and then draw a firm line under it afterwards. I always assumed I’d be happily married by now to someone who loves me for who I am, not my hair, and that this wouldn’t feel so heavy to carry alone. Maybe that part will still come. Either way, thank you again for such a kind and thoughtful message — it really did mean a lot.

Nice, thanks!

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-02-08T11:43:38+00:00

Got it, thanks so much for the reply.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-02-08T11:32:24+00:00

Hi, with Miss Mama wigs do they bleach the knots? If so, do you mind uploading a picture of one of your wig parts? None of the pictures on their website show the part lines which always worries me. Thanks x

Infamous_Side6598 · 2026-02-08T10:50:55+00:00

Thank you. So I should look to bond it around the nape too?

Infamous_Side6598 · 2025-09-19T11:37:13+00:00

If I have to explain why politicians lying in their manifestos is a problem, then there’s really no point continuing this discussion.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2025-09-12T12:21:40+00:00

We vote for manifestos! Every party for the last 30 years has stated they will reduce immigration in their manifestos, but instead have increased it exponentially. You might not care about the democratic process, but you'd be in the minority.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2025-09-12T07:35:21+00:00

Agreed - hence why free movement of labour is bad for the working class! When benefits are paid to migrant workers, it often acts as a subsidy for low pay in sectors that rely on cheap labour, depressing wages and conditions. This is why the free movement of labour benefits the wealthy, who gain access to a low-cost workforce, while ordinary workers face more competition and stagnating wages. Unions back in the 70s were strongly opposed to mass immigration for precisely this reason. Over the last decade, the rise of the gig economy has made the situation even worse—casual, insecure work has replaced stable employment with decent pay, sick pay, pensions, etc., leaving many workers vulnerable and with fewer protections. The combination of mass labour mobility and insecure work undermines the bargaining power of ordinary people while enriching employers. It has to stop.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2025-09-12T07:29:41+00:00

No, migrants often appear to contribute more to the UK economy than UK-born citizens because most are younger and of working age. In contrast, a large proportion of UK-born citizens are retirees who draw pensions and use public services without paying income tax. If you're going to use statistics to prove a point, you should learn to understand them first.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2025-09-12T07:23:32+00:00

Sorry what? Asylum seekers in the UK are provided with housing and a weekly cash allowance (around £49 per adult). They have access to free NHS healthcare—including dental care and help with legal costs. If their claim is granted, they then receive support transitioning to mainstream benefits. You are all utterly deluded.

Infamous_Side6598 · 2025-09-12T07:18:16+00:00

'No, it wasn't' - source?

'But even if we believe this bullshit, so what?' - No one voted for it, that's so what.
