Actress Carrie Coon has openly discussed her perspective on aging in Hollywood and the nature of the roles she is offered, attributing her specific casting to her decision to forego Botox. The 44-year-old star revealed in a recent interview with Glamour magazine that she is frequently typecast as more mature and complex characters, such as Bertha Russell in 'The Gilded Age' and Laurie in 'The White Lotus' season three. Coon explained her perception in the industry, stating, "The perception of me is that I am verbal, intellectual. My voice is lower and I don’t have Botox, so I tend to play older than I am. And so I’ve always had a gravitas or some authority."

Botox, a common cosmetic procedure in Hollywood aimed at preventing wrinkles, is a prevalent practice among celebrities. Despite its widespread use, Coon has consciously opted out of such facial injections and has still achieved significant success within the entertainment industry. She expresses a strong desire for younger Hollywood talent to recognize that conforming to beauty standards through Botox and fillers is not a prerequisite for success. Coon champions authenticity, asserting that it is "more evocative than any kind of engineering you might consider doing to your face or your body."

While acknowledging the societal pressure and personal insecurities that arise from watching herself in high definition at 44, Coon remains committed to her stance. She clarifies that her discomfort with injections leads her to explore science-based skincare alternatives instead. Her roles in popular series like 'The Gilded Age' and 'The White Lotus' have garnered considerable attention, with both shows frequently appearing in discussions about Emmy Awards 2025 predictions. This includes speculation about nominations for cast and crew, as well as specific predictions for categories like Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, where Coon's name is often mentioned. Her candid reflections on aging and beauty standards add a layer of depth to her public persona amidst her acclaimed performances.
