Jamie Lee Curtis has urged people not to ‘mess with’ their faces as she declared herself ‘pro-aging’.
The 63-year-old has been on our screens since the 1970s, but - unlike some stars - she says she's managed to overcome the pressure to defy the years.
During a recent appearance on TODAY, the Halloween star shared the advice she gives to her daughters Annie, 35, and Ruby, 26, about growing older - and she didn’t mince her words.
“Don’t mess with your face,” she said, before admitting to undergoing procedures in the past but being less than happy with the results.

She went on: "I did plastic surgery. I put Botox in my head. Does Botox make the big wrinkle go away? Yes. But then you look like a plastic figurine." And I think we can all agree that is not a good look.
Curtis went on to say that she hopes her experiences will show her daughters that going under the knife - or needle - isn’t worth it.
"Walk a mile in my shoes,” she added. “I have done it. It did not work. And all I see is people now focusing their life on that.”
Curtis is set to reprise her role of Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends, the third and final movie in the latest Halloween franchise - there's a trailer here, if you want to see her in action:
This isn’t the first time Curtis has hit against the anti-aging ideals that dictate beauty standards.
In an interview with Fast Company last year, she said: “The current trend of fillers and procedures, and this obsession with filtering, and the things that we do to adjust our appearance on Zoom are wiping out generations of beauty. Once you mess with your face, you can’t get it back.”
She also revealed the horrendous repercussions of having plastic surgery.
“I tried plastic surgery and it didn’t work,” she remarked. “It got me addicted to Vicodin. I’m 22 years sober now.”
Earlier this week, Curtis said the journey to discovering herself had been ‘hard-earned’ but that she knew who she was.
She told Greatest Hits Radio: “I am the short haired woman, who wears glasses and monochrome, and I have a very clear idea of who I am. I have tried to find my own mind and finding my own mind has taken a while... I'm open, I'm curious and I'm not afraid to say I'm wrong.”
