Alicia Silverstone, 48, says she's never had Botox and is 'certain' that her diet is key to keeping her youthful
Alicia Silverstone, 48, says eating a plant-based diet has kept her looking youthful. The "Clueless" star said she has never had Botox or fillers and has not undergone any cosmetic surgery. Studies have shown that plant-based diets can reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Forget injectables or plastic surgery. Alicia Silverstone, 48, says the key to aging well is in her fridge. In an interview with Byrdie published on Tuesday, the "Clueless" actor said she has never had Botox or fillers and has not undergone any cosmetic surgery. "I have lines," she said, adding that she is intrigued by the idea of aging naturally. "I'm curious to see what happens." Silverstone said the key to her complexion lies in her plant-based diet, which she has followed since the late '90s. She initially gave up meat because of her love for animals and concerns about factory farming. The health perks, she said, came as a surprise. "My health, I did not plan for," she said. "I could think clearly, feel more, [and] be present. All of a sudden, my nails got really thick and strong. My hair got really thick. My eyes got all white." Silverstone said she's "certain" her diet played a huge part in keeping her youthful. Still, the mother-of-one said being perfectly healthy all the time isn't realistic. "It's just about having a road map to living my most radiant life while also veering right a little or veering left and then coming back," she said. "We can always aim for perfection; I'm always trying. But I always go back to plant-based food." She also said she chooses to push back against Hollywood's expectations. "As I age, I'm aware that I don't look like everybody else. But I don't lose sleep over it," she added. A representative for Silverstone did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. A plant-based diet consists mainly of plant-based foods like vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. There are different types of plant-based diets, some of which still include small amounts of animal products such as eggs, dairy, or fish. Research has shown that plant-based diets can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Eating more fiber can also help with gut health and weight loss. A 2021 study by researchers from the University of Naples suggests that a plant-based diet rich in olive oil and tomatoes can help lower the risk of heart disease. However, those who follow a plant-based diet should take extra care to consume nutrients like vitamin B12, which is commonly found in animal products. Silverstone joins a long list of stars and top athletes waving about the benefits of a plant-based diet. In 2022, NFL quarterback Justin Fields told Business Insider that he started following a vegan diet after trying a 28-day detox with his family. "I think the biggest change for me is just how much lighter and faster I feel all around. This change was very drastic for me after I did the challenge I did with my family and was ultimately the reason I chose to continue a plant-based diet," Fields said. F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton said in 2023 that he proved critics wrong by winning multiple championships on a plant-based diet, even though there were concerns he wouldn't get enough protein to meet the physical demands of racing. "I've been more consistent than I ever was in the past. So it just takes proving people wrong. And that's what I did," Hamilton said.

In a cover story for Byrdie published on Tuesday, Aug. 5, the actress, 48, opens up about resisting the cosmetic procedures that have become so commonplace in Hollywood. Instead, she tells the outlet that she's interested in aging naturally. 'I have lines,' she shares. 'I don't know. I'm curious to see what happens. I'd like to be an example [of what that would look like].' Silverstone says she's never gotten Botox and doesn't get fillers, claiming her plant-based diet is "critical" to her youthful glow. 'My health, I did not plan for,' she says. 'I could think clearly, feel more, [and] be present. All of a sudden, my nails got really thick and strong. My hair got really thick. My eyes got all white.' The Clueless actress continues, 'This is the one thing in life that I feel so certain about. There's so much to not be certain about, but I am so absolutely certain about this… I feel like it really works with aging well.' Of the pressures of Hollywood, Silverstone acknowledges that looking a certain way is "in the fabric of this job, and just being a woman and being alive; it's part of our society and culture." "As I age, I'm aware that I don't look like everybody else," she adds. "But I don't lose sleep over it. I don't prioritize it that much... I'm having too much fun.' As for her beauty routine, Silverstone keeps it simple with a lineup of products that are free of animal ingredients and animal testing. "I only have so much time," she says. "I want to look my best, but I don't care enough. And I don't think anything that you put on is going to do what the inside does — that radiance, that glow, that joy.' Silverstone, who has been vegan since the 1990s, has previously opened up about feeding her 13-year-old son Bear a plant-based diet. '[Bear] loves the food I give him,' she told PEOPLE in 2014. 'He's not being deprived of anything. For him, having amazing fruit is like candy!' In a 2017 video for the nonprofit Farm Sanctuary's Compassionate Meals program, the actress said, "The amazing thing about it is that it's turned me into a health nut, because you feel so good, you feel so different. So being able to do something that is good for the Earth, good for the animals and good for you all at the same time seems like such a no-brainer. It's like the biggest 'Duh!'

Helen Hunt, 61, reveals she does not diet, use Botox, or get plastic surgery
Helen Hunt, 61, refuses to conform to Hollywood's beauty standards but admits she used to feel pressure to look a certain way. Speaking to Flow Space, she said: 'It felt impossible not to internalize the way you're supposed to look. And [there was] a certain amount of misery and shame around not looking exactly that way.' Helen realized that Hollywood's beauty standards were affecting her self-esteem but she now would not allow outside pressures to damage her mental health. Helen said: 'I realized, "This could quietly ruin your whole life." I made a decision: I'm not playing. Not gonna [let it] take up a lot of space in my mind.' Her new approach has been heavily influenced by The Only Diet There Is, a book written by the spiritual leader Sondra Ray. The actress said: 'What I took from it, is eat what you want and love every bite, period.' This also meant Helen has refused Botox and plastic surgery as she prefers to age naturally. Meanwhile, she admitted to obsessing about her appearance in the 80s after feeling pressure to look a certain way at the time - but a change of attitude has proven to be transformational for her. Speaking to HuffPost Live, Helen said: 'I had my run in the 80s about being really worried about how I looked. Everybody was more fit, or more thin, and I maxed out on worrying about it.' Helen's change in attitude has benefited her mental and physical health. The actress said: 'I just gave up on worrying about it. When I gave it up, my brain and body got better. 'I was taking these exercise classes called abs, thighs, and buns and I was like, "I'm going to be dead one day — do I really want to give up an hour in this class?"' Helen has an Academy Award, four Emmys, and four Golden Globes under her belt. She's known for her roles in film, theater, and television, including the NBC sitcom Mad About You (1992–1999) and the 1997 romantic comedy As Good as It Gets. For her portrayal of Jamie Buchman in Mad About You, Hunt won four Emmys, three Golden Globes, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. While decades have passed since Helen played Sarah Jessica Parker 's free-spirited best friend in Girls Just Want To Have Fun (1985), Helen still carries that unmistakable movie-star glow. She was seen last month's Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where she wowed in a chic Christian Siriano gown and held hands with Nordling. The couple first crossed paths while co-starring in Shooter, a 1988 NBC movie about war photographers working in Vietnam. She played Tracey, while he took on the role of Matt Thompson - but romance didn't seem to spark back then. Fast forward to May 2022, and fans started speculating that their could be love blossoming between the pair when Jeffrey shared a group photo from Dodger Stadium, where he and Helen were hanging out with Camryn Manheim and Billie Jean King. By October, they made things official with a red carpet debut at the Los Angeles Philharmonic's 20th Anniversary Gala at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Hunt was born on June 15, 1963, in Culver City, California, and began acting as a child, making her television debut in the 1973 series Pioneer Woman. She gained widespread recognition for her role as Jamie Buchman in Mad About You (1992–1999), earning four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. In 1997, Hunt won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Carol Connelly in As Good As It Gets, starring opposite Jack Nicholson. She continued her on screen success with leading roles in Twister (1996), Pay It Forward (2000), and The Sessions (2012), the latter earning her an Oscar nomination. Hunt made her feature film directorial debut with Then She Found Me (2007). She was married to producer Matthew Carnahan from 2001 to 2017, and they had a daughter, Makena Lei Gordon Carnahan in 2004. In the last five years, Hunt reprised her iconic role as Jamie Buchman in the Mad About You revival, which aired in 2019 on Spectrum Originals. She has also directed episodes of popular TV shows, including Blindspotting (2021) and The Politician (2020).
