Actor Courteney Cox, best known for playing Monica in the popular American sitcom FRIENDS, has long been scrutnised for her facial fillers. Reflecting upon the same, she recently revealed why getting these fillers were her worst beauty regret. Discussing her history with anti-ageing injectables in a new Gloss Angeles podcast episode, she said, “It’s a domino effect.”

“You don’t realise that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more because you look normal to yourself,” she continued, adding, “Thinking I was getting older when I was really young, that’s just a bummer, a waste of time.”

Courteney said that she didn’t realise how she was actually looking with her fillers. “You look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh, that looks good,’ you think, and you don’t realise what it looks like to the outside person and just doing too many fillers and having to have them removed, which thank god they are removable, I think I messed up a lot and now luckily I can, I was able to reverse most of that, now I’m actually just older,” she said.

The actor added that fillers remain her biggest beauty regret and that she gets shocked when she looks at her old pictures. “I look at pictures of me from when I thought I looked okay, and I can’t believe it,” she said.

“My publicist wouldn’t let me post this, but I wanted to say, like a before or what I was and what I am, and then the caption would be ‘oh this is what my friend was talking about,’ because when someone is talking to you (about fillers) and saying, ‘babe, I don’t know,’ then you’re like ‘what?! I didn’t do anything here and nothing there’ and you don’t realise that probably floated down,” she concluded by saying.

This isn’t the first time Courteney has gotten candid about her regret regarding facial fillers. In a 2019 interview with People, she said that she began getting injectable fillers because she “wasn’t pleased with” herself “and the way” she “looked”.

“I would say it’s a common thing you go through as you age, especially in Hollywood. You have to accept getting older, and that’s something I had a hard time doing,” she said. “I didn’t realise it until one day I kind of stepped back and went, ‘Oh s***. I don’t look like myself.”
