KATE WINSLET USES STAR POWER TO FIGHT PLASTIC SURGERY
August 24 2011
Los Angeles, CA – Celebrities have always been very active in the social realm, despite what most people believe. Ronald Reagan, long before he became President, was an outspoken Republican and John Wayne was probably known more for his political views than his movies for a long time. Advocacy in Hollywood has always been around, and likely always will be.
Lots of famous names have been attached to advocacy in recent years, and now one more has stepped up to express her opinion and fight against the many injustices of the world. Academy Award winner Kate Winslet has become the latest high-profile name to become such an advocate, using her star power to fight against the injustices and disparities in the world, fighting against plastic surgery.
“I will never give in. It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty,” said Winslet of her battle against the cosmetic procedure, a cause she has taken up in the wake of rampant surgeries throughout the Hollywood community.
“Kate really feels passionately about this issue. She has always spoken about her distaste for plastic surgery but now she is finally coming out publicly and hopes that that will help change things. She just felt she could no longer sit back and watch it spread across the globe,” said an insider. “Kate feels that this has become a plague, nearly as bad as AIDS or racism. She feels like it must be stamped out now in order to avoid poorer countries from being infected by it. She knows there are limits to what she can do, but she has to try.”
Winslet has also recruited friend and former co-star Emma Thompson to the cause. The pair hopes to bring international attention to the issue.
“This is exactly what this movement has needed, beautiful and respected actresses taking up the mantel, becoming the voices and faces of the movement. With their help we can stamp out this trend before it gets too big,” continued the insider. “Too often people overlook this issue but now it will finally get the attention it deserves. We are looking to recruit some other big names and even Bono has expressed an interest in participating. He’s busy with all his other projects but he is really concerned about the proliferation of plastic surgery in the developing world.”
Bono himself has never had any type of plastic surgery. He apparently has given thousands to doctors in Africa to stop them conducting the procedure.
“Obviously there are some cases where it will be acceptable, such as with people injured in fires or dog attacks or the like, but the casual use needs to change,” continued the insider. “They feel they have the momentum now and with that they can change the world.”
Winslet has only been offered roles as mothers and aunts in recent years, due in part to her aging appearance.
“This is a solid idea but unfortunately it will only serve to raise prices which will hurt people who really do need the surgery. In many ways Hollywood has subsidised the surgery for people who need it and if that goes, they will just look like freaks,” said Scrape TV Medical analyst Dr. Phillip Waites. “No one wants freaks hanging around and they will be pushed to the peripheries of society. This probably requires a little more though than has been put into it, these things can’t be changed in a bubble.”
Winslet is reportedly developing a film revolving around an anti-plastic surgery advocate who is brutally murdered by a former patient who has become disfigured.
