British actress Emma Thompson has revealed that she will never have cosmetic surgery. Thompson, who recently turned 50, has said that she is looking to grow old gracefully rather than be ‘fiddled with’.

“I’m not fiddling with myself,” Thompson explained to Showbiz Spy. “We’re in this awful youth-driven phase now, where everybody feels they need to look 30 at 60. I hate that. The trick is to age honestly and gracefully.

“I’m taking a year off. That’s my birthday present to myself. I’m not going to act, write or anything like that. I’ll be a mum, teach drama at my daughter’s school, I’ll cook meals and have fun, go out with my friends, I’ll go to movies and not think about working. I’ll see what bubbles up after that.

“As an actor and writer, sometimes I think you have to stop creating and let your brain relax. I think it hones the appetite. I think that’s important.”
