Sarah Paulson: I dont shoot anything into my face at this particular juncture
Sarah Paulson is a wonderful actress who has worked consistently for decades. She never really had an ingenue phase, probably because she’s always been more of a character actress. I didn’t realize that she’s 49 years old right now – I kind of thought she was younger? In any case, Sarah is committed to aging naturally. At least for now. She was recently profiled in Interview Mag by her BFF Pedro Pascal. They talked about growing older:
Sarah Paulson isn’t ready to dip her toes into the facial-filler conversation quite yet.
The actress, 49, got candid about her age — and how she’s aging — while speaking with close friend Pedro Pascal in a new interview for Interview Magazine published April 16.
She boldly stated her age mid-interview, and while Pascal — who is also 49 — skirted the mention (saying he’s “not” happy to mention his age), Paulson dove into her thoughts on aging.
“Well, since I don’t shoot anything into my face at this particular juncture, I imagine everyone knows I’m 49,” she said.
The Broadway star, who is currently headlining the play Appropriate, went on to say that her current role is probably what’s going to age her skin faster than anything. Despite Pascal telling her that theater will keep her young, she vehemently disagreed.
“If there’s anything that’s going to age me rapidly, it’s going back to the theater,” she said. “Sometimes I’m backstage doing this play, Appropriate, and I’m thinking, ‘Wow, I’m making these facial expressions multiple times a day all day for months on end. I’ve never had those lines in between my eyebrows.’ Well, I expect when I’m done with this play, they’ll be there permanently.”
It actually sort of sounds like she’s open to the possibility of getting Botox or fillers at some point, which I understand. You never know how you’ll feel at a later date. Personally, I think Paulson looks great for her age (a compliment I dislike giving, but it’s true in this case). There’s so much talk about “Zoomers are aging like milk” or “Millennials are aging better,” but as we can see over the years in Hollywood… the women who barely touch their faces are the ones who look the best long-term. Also: Paulson is Gen X, and I feel like the “forgotten generation” is sort of aging the best out of everyone.
