What Really Grinds My Gears
It’s been a while since I did a “What Really Grinds My Gears” post but I know a lot of you do enjoy them so I’m back with another one. Because unsurprisingly I have found something else to whine about. And before you complain about my whining, this blog is called Lifesfinewhine, you knew what you were signing up for.
Your Face?
Okay, not YOUR face specifically. But people’s faces. Let me start from the top.
As you know, I watch a lot of movies and TV shows. Some say a concerning amount, I say mind your own business. Anyway, I watch older stuff and I watch newer stuff. And one major difference is that in the newer stuff, a significantly large amount of actors have clearly botoxed their faces into oblivion. And don’t even get me started with the lip filler.
If you’re staring in something historical, especially if it’s based on true events, you should not look like you’ve gotten an insane amount of work done. Maybe it doesn’t bother everyone but it absolutely bothers me. It ruins it for me when I’m watching something that is supposed to be about something from the last century or even centuries ago and all I can focus on is the insane amount of filler and botox.
And it’s not even about the way it looks, my main issue is that when you act for a living you shouldn’t be getting procedures done (botox) that literally stops you from showing emotion on your face. It’s so odd when there’s like zero proper emotions on someones face during a really emotional scene.
Final Thoughts
In general, I don’t care what people choose to do with their face. However, when your job needs you to be able to express emotions I think it’s best to go easy on the botox.
I would honestly, love to see more actors embracing aging and not sacrificing their talent to look a certain way. It really ruins TV shows and movies when everyone looks emotionless and creepy. Shoutout to Amanda Seyfried for having a forehead that actually moves when it needs to.
As always, you’re welcome to share your thoughts in the comments section below. Unless they differ from my own in any way (kidding).
I recently published my first book and would be honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.
