Courteney Cox says she looked 'really strange' after cosmetic procedures

[Guest]

"Oh God, it's so hard to even hear or say. I can't believe it. There's nothing wrong with being 60, I just can't believe it. Time goes so fast," she said. "There's no question that I am more grounded, I've learnt so much in my life -- what to enjoy, what to try to do more of and what to let go of."

Cox said she has given up on trying to look the same as she did before.

"There was a time when you go, 'Oh, I'm changing. I'm looking older.' And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years," she said. "And I didn't realize that, oh sh*t, I'm actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now."

Turning to media coverage of actors as they age, she said: "The scrutiny is intense, but I don't know if it could be more intense than what I put on myself."

When it comes to her career, Cox reveals some insecurities.

Despite her global superstar status, Cox said her confidence was dented a few years ago after filming a pilot for a series that failed to make it to production.

"It shook me for a little while. I mean for years in some weird way, like, I was scared to go back out," she said.

Cox also shared how she deals with reviews.

"It's best not to read them at all, but I do and sometimes I go straight for where my name is," she said. "Let me skip all the 'What do you think about the film?' Just, what did you say about me?"

"Shining Vale" premieres on Starz on March 6.

I really love that she's speaking about this. The beauty standards for women, especially of a "certain age", is completely unrealistic and I love seeing women age naturally. She's such a beautiful woman and I hate that she felt pressured to look a certain way but unfortunately, that's Hollywood. I rarely see celebrities get work done and they look better. Typically they just look too puffy/plastic. The crazy full cheekbone thing has got to go!

I hope there's a trend coming which major plastic surgery and fillers are a thing of the past.

Also imagine the pressure to keep that "Friends" youthful girl next door look after the show is over and you want to continue in TV and movies 

You get type casted and time doesn't stop as she says...you chase after the past and you end up botching your face and had you naturally aged you probably would have looked better. 

Meryl Streep is aging like fine wine and I'm proud she is setting the example that being older in Hollywood doesn't mean you won't have a career anymore
