Kate Winslet Decries Injectables and Weight-Loss Drugs, Calls on Actresses to 'Keep Being Real'

In a Sunday Times interview tied to her directorial debut, she blames Instagram‑era perfectionism for harmful beauty pressures.

Overview

  • Winslet said she has never had facial injectables, scrunching her face for the reporter to demonstrate that her face "hasn't got anything in it."
  • She called the growing use of GLP‑1 weight‑loss medications "frightening" and questioned whether users understand the health implications.
  • The actress praised Helen Mirren, Toni Collette, Andrea Riseborough and Sigourney Weaver as examples of aging naturally in the spotlight.
  • She argued that social media fuels a fixation on perfection that harms mental health and leaves young women without a clear sense of real beauty.
  • Her remarks, widely republished since Dec. 6 as she promotes Netflix’s Goodbye June, arrive as non‑surgical procedures rise, with BAAPS members reporting nearly 10,000 such treatments in 2024.
