Rachel Weisz is no fan of botox.

"It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen," the Mummy actress tells UK Harper's Bazaar.

Can you guess which stars have gotten botox?

"Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?" continued Weisz, who won an Oscar for The Constant Gardener.

She is a fan of a more laid-back look.

"I love the way girls in London dress. It's so different to the American 'blow-dry and immaculate grooming' thing," says the English-born Weisz.

    HUH? Botox doesn't enhance an actor's ability to perform. By Rachel's own logic, if acting is all about expression -- then Botox would negatively affect an actor's performance, not unfairly enhance it.

    I've spent significant time outside the United States. Prior to spending that time I wouldn't have understood her comment about " the blown dry, immaculate" and I would have responded the way that "Jacalyn D" responded. But after being outside the US, it has been my experience that her comment is right on the money! US Women are beautiful!! But w

    What blow dry immaculate American look is she talking about?Hollywood? It kills me when people judge America based on Hollywood.Most of us dont dress anything like Hollywood.She hasnt see enough of America to comment on us. As far as botox goes I dont ever want it either.She has the money to do other things to fix her face and body.Let's see what she does in a few years.

    I agree with Rachel and I should add that the other repulsive thing about Botox is that this extremely strong poison is tested on animals, who suffer and die absolutely horrible deaths. So anyone who claims to be an animal lover should stay away from this product.
