Isabella Rossellini, 70, opened up about ageing and why she has chosen to not have cosmetic surgery, in a brand new open and sincere interview with Page Six Style. “We all age. It’s part of nature,” she advised the outlet when speaking about starring within the marketing campaign advert for Lancome’s La Vie Est Belle perfume. “I’ve never done any plastic surgery. If you do it, you might win a battle, but you lose the war.”
The attractive mannequin owns a 28-acre Long Island farm that serves as a house for chickens, canine, bees and sheep and chooses to go the pure route with each meals and sweetness. “Philosophically, I could never reconcile having an organic farm, eating organic … and then injecting myself with Botox,” she stated when requested about injectables. “I don’t know how the two things could coexist. I mean, I do know they coexist because I have friends that do it, but it’s a contradiction!”
Although Isabella hasn’t gone the cosmetic surgery route, she admitted that she has typically been tempted. “I have to confess, my neck is the thing that makes me sometimes think I should have plastic surgery,” she defined. “The neck is always a little bit upsetting, but I live with it. I prefer a little scarf to an operation!”
The assured gal went on to say the lasting results of fragrance, which is a must have product for girls of all ages. “Maybe men only understand our using perfume or makeup to seduce them,” she stated. “But of course, we do it not only to seduce men — we do it because it’s fun.”
Isabella turned the world’s highest-paid mannequin in 1982, when she signed an unique take care of Lancome. She promoted the corporate’s fragrances, lipsticks, and skincare for 10 years, however in 1995, shortly earlier than her forty third birthday, she was fired from the corporate due to her age. In 2016, when Lancome had new feminine CEO, Francoise Lehmann, they requested her to characterize them as soon as once more and he or she fortunately accepted. “They stated, ‘We should have never let you go,” she recalled. “I certainly didn’t anticipate it 20 years later!”
Isabella concluded that getting older means extra freedom and he or she is ok with that. “When you’re old, you can do everything you’ve always wanted to do. That’s the great fun about being old,” she defined. “I think you acquire a lot of freedom. When you’re young, you have many obligations … you have children to raise, you have to make it at your career. When you’re older, all these things have been answered. So now, I just do what I like.”
