Charlize Theron, 48, is in denial about a facelift as she responds to fans who suggested she get plastic surgery: “I just age, that’s just what happens.”
Charlize Theron has denied any reports that she’s had a facelift to stay young and look young, instead hilariously quipping, “I just age, that’s just what happens.”
The 48-year-old film siren spoke about beauty and youth while being the face of Dior’s bestselling fragrance J’Adore for two decades.
Looking back at the iconic shots, the star opened up about her changed looks in a new interview.
“My face is changing and I love that my face is changing and aging,” she told Allure magazine. But “people think I’ve had a facelift.”
“You’re like, ‘What did she do to her face?’ I’m like, ‘B***h, I’m just getting older! That doesn’t mean I got bad plastic surgery. That’s just what happens.’
The young-adult actress – who took her kids to one of Taylor Swift’s concerts in LA – is also not a fan of the double standards between men and women when it comes to aging.

“I’ve always struggled with the fact that as men get older they like good wine and women like cut flowers,” she said.
“I despise this concept and want to fight against it, but I also believe that women want to age in a way that feels right for them,” the South African native mused.
“I think we need to show a little more empathy with the way we all go through our journey,” she explained.
“My journey of having to have my face on a billboard is pretty funny now,” joked the Fast X star.
The mother-of-two shared a funny story of a time she and her eldest daughter Jackson, 11, passed one of her 10ft tall J’Adore advertisements.
“My eldest was just so embarrassed. She says, “Oh my god mom! You’re not even wearing a shirt.” I thought, “You’re right about that. I wasn’t aware of that,” said the Atomic Blonde actress.
“She says, ‘All my friends are going to see that. I mean, can you just wear a shirt?”
The North County actress also opened up about roles she’s no longer accepting because of her age.

Aging: But “people think I’ve had a facelift.” “They’re like, ‘What did she do to her face?'” I’m just like, ‘B***h, I’m just aging!’ That doesn’t mean it that I had bad plastic surgery. “That’s exactly what happens”

“I’m never going to do a movie again and say, ‘Yes, I’m going to gain 40 pounds.’ “I’m never going to do it again because you can’t take it off,” she said.
“When I was 27, I did monsters and lost 30 pounds overnight.” “I missed three meals and was back to my normal weight,” she explained.
“Then I did it for Tully at 43 and I remember after a year of trying to lose weight I called my doctor and said, ‘I think I’m dying because I can’t lose this weight.’
“And he said, ‘You’re over 40. Calm down. Your metabolism isn’t what it used to be.” “No one wants to hear that,” she said resignedly.
