Cate Blanchett has no interest in looking younger than her years.
The 41-year-old actress - who is widely regarded as one of the world's most naturally beautiful women - insists she has no desire to have plastic surgery as she is happy to look her age.
She said: "There's so much pressure and fear to do all that surgery stuff but I'm really not interested in looking 25 again."
The Oscar-winning beauty also revealed how she wants to look natural so tries to wear as little make-up as she can.
She said: "There's a temptation when you get older to put on more make-up, but I try to keep mine looking natural. Even on screen - if you've got heaps on, it acts as a mask and as an actor, it's all about taking off a mask and revealing emotion. A strong lip can really lift your face, though. Since I cut my hair, I've been wearing reds again and experimenting with pinks."
Although she is happy with her looks, the mother-of-three recently cut her hair off as it was easier to manage.
She told Britain's InStyle magazine: "I just suddenly thought, 'Shall I cut it all off?' As an actress, you get brainwashed into thinking, 'I have to get roles!' But what about your everyday life?"
