(Newser) – Get ready for wrinkles. That's the word from 35-year-old actress Kate Winslet, who, along with pals Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz, is taking a vow against plastic surgery and Botox. They've even launched the British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League. "It goes against my morals, the way my parents brought me up, and what I consider to be natural beauty," Winslet tells the Telegraph. As for Botox, she explains: "I'm an actress. I don't want to freeze the expression of my face." "We're in this awful youth-driven thing now where everybody needs to look 30 at 60," chimes in Thompson, 52. "I'm not fiddling about with myself." (Gwyneth Paltrow is also anti-Botox ... but pro-boob jobs? Click to read.)

I'm not fiddling with myself, says Emma Thompson, 52.

My first thought was “that’s easy to say when you’re naturally beautiful.­” But they also say it’s harder to “lose your looks” when you ARE that beautiful and don't need cosmetic surgery. Especially when you’re in such an image driven industry.

These three can get by on talent.
