In an interview with Bustle released on February 26, Naomi Watts spoke candidly about how her perceptions of beauty and health have changed since she turned 50. The actress shared that she hasn’t had "the nerve" to have any plastic surgery done just yet.

"For now, I hope other people around me can tolerate my drooping jowls, because right now I don’t want to go under the knife," Watts said. "I can’t categorically say I’m for or against at this moment, but I certainly would never judge those who do it."

One of the liberating realizations about beauty standards the actress had as she entered her fifth decade was that she no longer wanted to look the way she used to before. Instead, she chose to embrace how she looks at this moment.

Though Watts made it clear she does not judge anyone who decides to have some work done, she's a public figure who is opting to embrace her natural appearance. Indeed, numerous celebs get surgery—it's no showbiz secret. But there are plenty of stars who have been told to get procedures that, for various reasons, they refused.
