Winslet, Weisz, Thompson take active stand against cosmetic surgery

Washington, Aug 18 (ANI): Kate Winslet has said that she is taking an active stand against the pressure in Hollywood for women to undergo cosmetic surgery.

According to the Telegraph, the 35-year-old actress said that she and fellow British Oscar-winners Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz have formed the "British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League".

"I will never give in," Us magazine quoted her as saying.

"It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty.

"I am an actress, I don't want to freeze the expression of my face," Winslet said.

While their resolve not to go under the knife is real, their league might be more of a way to speak out against ageism than an active organisation.

Weisz, 41, who is newly married, said that people "who look too perfect don't look sexy or particularly beautiful", and Thompson, 52, agreed with her friends' comments.

"I'm not fiddling about with myself. We're in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60," she added. (ANI)
