Sarah Paulson, 49, opened up about Botox, fillers, and aging in a new interview.
She said she doesn’t “shoot anything into my face.”
She’s unafraid to proclaim her age, loudly and proudly.
In interviews, Sarah Paulson never feels the need to glaze over her truth. And that’s the case when discussing anything, from relationships to aging. While recently speaking to Interview Magazine, she and her friend Pedro Pascal elaborated on the latter topic, and Paulson specifically talked about her experience (or lack thereof) with cosmetic procedures like Botox and filler.
The topic of aging came up when both Paulson and Pascal admitted to feeling under the weather. “It’s a communication of how old we are. Do you know what I mean? That we get sick, then we don’t get well, and then we get sick again. It’s a testament to our rapid aging,” Paulson joked.
Pascal agreed: “Our middle-aged demise.”
Later, Paulson reflected on a story from her 20s, adding that she’s 49 now. “I’m happy to say it,” she quipped. Pascal, who is the same age, couldn’t relate, adding: “Really? I’m not.”
The American Horror Story star went on to share that she doesn’t have anything to hide. “Well, since I don’t shoot anything into my face at this particular juncture, I imagine everyone knows I’m 49,” she said.
Pascal then suggested that her return to Broadway in the ongoing production Appropriate is sure to keep her young. She shut that down, fast.
“If there’s anything that’s going to age me rapidly, it’s going back to the theater,” she said. “Sometimes I’m backstage doing this play, Appropriate, and I’m thinking, ‘Wow, I’m making these facial expressions multiple times a day all day for months on end. I’ve never had those lines in between my eyebrows.’”
She continued: “Well, I expect when I’m done with this play, they’ll be there permanently.”
That’s about all Paulson gave on the topic, but her fans already know she believes age is just a number, considering the nearly 32-year age gap between her and her partner, Holland Taylor, which received a heap of side-eye when they made their relationship official in 2015. Prior to being with Taylor, most other partners of hers were older as well, per the New York Times.
“There’s a poignancy to being with someone older,” she told The New York Times in 2016. “I think there’s a greater appreciation of time and what you have together and what’s important, and it can make the little things seem very small. It puts a kind of sharp light mixed with a sort of diffused light on something. I can’t say it any other way than there’s a poignancy to it, and a heightened sense of time and the value of time.”
And that’s what we call a welcome shift in perspective.
