Actress Kate Winslet recently voiced strong concern over the growing trend of young women turning to plastic surgery and weight-loss medications.
In a candid interview with a U.K. outlet, Kate stated that she believes some individuals are seeking these treatments not to improve themselves, but to fundamentally change who they are.
Kate Winslet admitted that seeing certain women, whom she already considers gorgeous, undergo cosmetic work is devastating.
She expressed fear that people are attaching their self-esteem directly to their looks, a trend she views as "terrifying."
Kate has consistently maintained that she has never undergone cosmetic procedures herself, refusing to "go under the knife."
She contrasted the choice of being one's natural self with the current obsession with alteration, stating, “Some are making choices to be themselves, others do everything they can to not be themselves."
The use of weight-loss drugs particularly worries the actress.
She pointed to the "disregard for one's health" that comes with taking these medications, a phenomenon she finds more bothersome now than ever before. For Kate, this situation is "f***ing chaos out there."
She is concerned not only about high-profile celebrities undergoing major surgeries, but also about everyday people who save money for injectable treatments like Botox and lip fillers, suggesting that the pursuit of an unattainable look is risking their well-being.
The conversation about cosmetic work remains divided in Hollywood.
While Kate Winslet finds the craze alarming, other public figures, like Kylie Jenner (who has expressed some remorse for past procedures and plans to advise her daughter against them), have spoken openly about their experiences, aiming to reduce the stigma around plastic surgery and injectables.
