English actress Rachel Weisz thinks that Botox injections should be banned for all actors.
The 39-year-old actress, best known for her roles in the Mummy movie franchise and for her Academy Award-winning portrayal in The Constant Gardener, feels facial Botox injections leave actors less able to convey emotion and that it harms the acting industry as much as steroids harm athletes.
In an interview with UK's Harper's Bazaar, coming out next month, Weisz says, "It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen," she claims. "Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?"

Currently living in New York, she also mentions that English women are much less worried about their physical appearance than in the United States. "I love the way girls in London dress," she claimed. "It's so different to the American 'blow-dry and immaculate grooming' thing."
