Curtis continued, "The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers — there’s a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances. And it is aided and abetted by AI, because now the filter face is what people want."
The Freakier Friday star shared that a filter may look "better" to some, but "better is fake."
"And there are too many examples — I will not name them — but very recently we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people," she said.
Curtis also clarified that she doesn't judge her Hollywood counterparts who choose to have plastic surgery.
"It doesn’t matter. I’m not proselytising to them," she explained. "I would never say a word. I would never say to someone: what have you done? All I know is that it is a never-ending cycle. That, I know. Once you start, you can’t stop. But it’s not my job to give my opinion; it’s none of my business.”
In a 60 Minutes interview released in May, Curtis opened up about the one cosmetic surgery she had done. At age 25, the actress underwent a procedure after receiving critical comments about her appearance from a cinematographer on the set of the 1985 film Perfect.
“He was like, ‘Yeah, I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy.’ And I was 25, so for him to say that, it was very embarrassing,” Curtis recalled. “So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery.”
The Halloween star, who is the daughter of screen legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, said the surgery didn’t go well and that she regrets it to this day. “That's just not what you want to do when you're 25 or 26. And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since,” she said.
Curtis also spoke about establishing herself as a supporter of natural beauty.
“I've become a really public advocate to say to women you're gorgeous and you're perfect the way you are. So yeah, it was not a good thing for me to do,” she shared.
