Nicole Kidman has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry ever since she had her acting debut in 1983. While Nicole has tried to avoid scandals and controversy throughout her career, avoiding them has been proven difficult.
One scandal that she has faced is the repeated allegations of using cosmetics enhancements like Botox and plastic surgery to alter her look, even though the actress has denied it several times. Recently, the actress, now 57, has come under fire again for the changes in her face compared to when she started her career, after a throwback video with Graham Norton surfaced.
Nicole Kidman’s fans and critics accuse her of overusing Botox
In preparation for her interview with Graham Norton, a throwback footage of Nicole Kidman’s 2016 interview with Norton was aired. During the interview, Norton showed her the cover of Dolly Magazine in 1983 where her face was on the front cover. You looked stunning on the cover of Dolly Magazine in 1983,” he said and also mentioned that she had changed over the years. Nicole laughed, looking embarrassed but emphasized that her hairstyle was the only major difference.
Critics have accused the actress of overusing Botox and undergoing plastic surgery to the point that her facial expressions seemed limited. “With all that Botox, I’m surprised she could move her face.” Some even compared her to others in the industry, suggesting that her look was becoming unnatural. A fan mentioned that the enhancement has become distracting, especially in her movies.
Nicole Kidman admits she tried Botox but stopped using it
However, the actress has denied the plastic surgery and Botox allegations. In 2008, she vowed that her look was completely natural. Nicole Kidman attributed her looks to self-care. “I wear sunscreen, and I don’t smoke,” she said.
Interestingly, in 2011, the actress admitted she experimented with Botox for a short while, which she got rid of because she didn’t like how her face looked afterward. While Nicole Kidman’s appearance has transformed since her debut in Bush Christmas, her looks could also be attributed to aging and proper health care.
