Rachel Weisz: 'Ban Botox for actors'
 

Rachel Weisz has called for Botox to be banned.

The 39-year-old Oscar-winning actress has compared the use of the anti-wrinkle injections by actors to performance-enhancing drugs used by sports players.

Rachel told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen."

She continued: "Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?"

The British actress, who lives in New York with her filmmaker fiance Darren Aronofsky and their son Henry also told the magazine she prefers English girls' style.

She said: "I love the way girls in London dress. It's so different to the American 'blow-dry and immaculate grooming' thing."
