Courtney Cox proudly proclaims in something called New Beauty Magazine that her face is back to normal after years of playing pincushion with various doctors. Now that her fillers have dissolved and she’s left looking like Bruce Jenner right when we all knew what was about to go down she’s feeling confident and ready to take on the world.
I’ve had all my fillers dissolved. I’m as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person that I was. I hope I do. Things are going to change. Everything’s going to drop. I was trying to make it not drop, but that made me look fake. You need movement in your face, especially if you have thin skin like I do. Those aren’t wrinkles — they’re smile lines. I’ve had to learn to embrace movement and realize that fillers are not my friend.
Neither were the hands of time. Fillers are the new light concealer in Hollywood. Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe she’s the Joker. Going under the knife means you cracked under the pressures of stardom. Fillers have come to equal restraint.
Cox is more candid about her botched face than most celebrities. Comparing the fifty-three-year-old to the girl that bounced around on stage with Bruce Springsteen is like flipping through a pamphlet about the dangers of meth. There’s no way this woman didn’t have full blown plastic surgery. But people are buying her admittance of using fillers only. We don’t want to believe that we have to power to permanently fuck up the people we admire. Magic thinking. Cox explains:
Well, what would end up happening is that you go to a doctor who would say, ‘You look great, but what would help is a little injection here or filler there.’ So you walk out and you don’t look so bad and you think, no one noticed — it’s good. Then somebody tells you about another doctor: ‘This person’s amazing. They do this person who looks so natural.’ You meet them and they say, ‘You should just do this.’
The next thing you know, you’re layered and layered and layered. You have no idea because it’s gradual until you go, ‘Oh s–t, this doesn’t look right.’ And it’s worse in pictures than in real life. I have one friend who was like, ‘Whoa, no more!’ I thought, I haven’t done anything in six months. I didn’t realize.
She didn’t survive the Hollywood hazing ritual. Age gracefully but don’t get old. Cox doesn’t look old as much as she looks like a cruel reminder of what it means to be a female celebrity. That’s something. Her tits look great. Maybe she could just push them up over her face and call it a day.
