His clear opinion on cosmetic surgery
If cosmetic surgery is queen in show business, Fanny Ardant has never succumbed to it. Aged 72, the French actress displays an authentic 100% natural beauty. It was also one of the criteria required by the director of the film The Young Lovers, during the casting and the choice of the actress who would play the character of Shauna. Fully assuming her age, Fanny Ardant is not a fan of plastic surgery : “At my age, the game is over. Too bad!”she explains to Parisian. If many septuagenarian stars have already gone under the knife, Fanny Ardant does not want to follow the movement: “And then, what I saw (of the plastic surgeryEditor’s note) did not convince me”. The actress therefore accepts herself naturally, taking the family model as an example: “My mother and my grandmother had agreed to grow old as they were.“.
Fanny Ardant’s anti-aging secret
In this interview, Fanny Ardant also reveals her love for beauty, admitting to having always been flirtatious: “Since I was 15, I have always made up, I made myself because I experienced myself as an ugly young girl”. To counter her complexes, the star relies on a anti aging secret very simple: constantly wear the same make-up, to create the illusion of a face on which time has no influence. “I always follow the same ritual: with greasy makeup, kohl, mascara. In ten minutes, it’s done”she told Madame Figaro in 2019.
