Aimee Lou Wood doesn’t judge others for their injectable use, but there’s one procedure you won’t see her doing anytime soon.
“I’m, like, very anti-Botox,” the “White Lotus” star said on an episode of Vogue’s “The Run-Through” podcast.
While she said that “people can do whatever the hell they want,” Wood pointed out that “a lot of my career relies on these facial expressions.”
“So I can’t start freezing my face. It needs to move,” she explained.
Despite wanting her face to remain expressive, Wood joked that “sometimes it moves too much.”
“It is weird ― sometimes I watch things back and I go, ‘Jesus, what was I [doing]?,’” she confessed. “I wasn’t aware that I was using my face that much in that moment.”
Wood isn’t the only actor who has steered clear of injectables to preserve natural facial movement for their job.
Sarah Jessica Parker also has chosen to steer clear of Botox.
“I can’t speak for other people, and I’m not opposed to anyone doing anything. It’s just not something I choose to do,” the “Sex and the City” star said in an interview with The Telegraph in 2023.

“Also, I’m an actor — I have to move my eyebrows. I’m meant to be sharing emotion and communicating with my face, which, for me, needs to move,” she said.
“This is just how I feel for me, and absolutely doesn’t mean the same applies for someone else,” Parker added. “We are all different and I love that about women. People must choose to do what they want, and find a way that makes them feel better when they walk out of the door.”
