Californication star Natascha McElhone recently made it into the pages of the UK’s Daily Telegraph for saying she’s glad she looks old, because it means she won’t have the pressure to resort to botox and plastic surgery to maintain the Hollywood illusion of perpetual youth.
“I’ve always looked old for my age,” she said. “It must be hard if you are the sort of impy, cute, cheeky girlfriend type, but that has never been me. I’ve always played women.”
At age 38, McElhone is hardly ancient — and she’s incredibly beautiful. Catch her next in Heaven and Earth, in which she plays pioneering physician James Miranda Barry. In 1812, while disguised as a man, Barry became the first woman to graduate medical school and practice medicine in Great Britain.
