Actor Ruth Wilson, who is best known for her performances in the English television series Jane Eyre and BBC psychological crime drama Luther claims that Hollywood puts pressure on actresses to have cosmetic procedures. 

According to aceshowbiz.com, the actor disclosed to The Guardian newspaper that she fears not having any treatments could leave her looking older than her peers, "As an actress, everyone does it. Very few resist. I haven't done anything - yet. But it's in my head as like, 'Well, do you decide not to and therefore potentially look older than your peers? Or do you just give in?' the actor said. 

"I find it so... It's mad! It's massive violence. Why can't a woman age on screen? Or age, full stop? We're like, 'Wow' today. But in 200 years, they'll be looking back at images of women now going, 'What were they doing?' 'What is that? You're blowing your face and lips up.' Yet it's a multibillion-dollar industry. And women are part of that industry, perpetuating this empowerment," she added. 

Ruth also explained that she rarely looks at herself in the mirror. She said, "Well, I do, but briefly. I don't think it's because I'm self-conscious or disappointed by it, but more that, for some reason, I don't take the face into consideration. Before I leave the house, I look at my outfit, my body see if it all works, but I often forget to check my face and hair. I am not sure what the psychology of that is."
