Streep thinks you can get old gracefully.
Legendary actress Meryl Streep has criticized the ever increasing trend of men in Hollywood going under the knife for beauty, insisting everyone should just give it up and accept their age, WENN reported.
While the 59-year-old star has refused to go under the knife herself, she is baffled at the increasing number of not only women, but men who see plastic surgery as a way to stay young.
“You'd be amazed how many men in the industry have gone down that road,” she observed. "I don't get it.”
Streep revealed that true actors should realize that often more interesting roles come to the older set anyway.
“The good thing about getting older is that when they do cast you it's often something interesting - you're no longer asked to be the beautiful leading lady,” she said.
When actors aren’t hired just for their matinee looks they are given the chance to play roles that “examine all the idiosyncrasies people have.”
Streep remained refreshingly free of believing in unattainable standards of youth and beauty.
“I think you have to embrace getting older and celebrate life,” she advised.
