Keri Russell says she likes her appearance better amid the plastic surgery trend in the industry.
The actress, 49, admitted as much in a recent interview about season 3 of the Netflix political drama. The diplomat.
“I’m totally empathetic,” Russell said, reflecting on the pressures women face when it comes to appearance, clothing and hair. “It’s a very strange thing to be a woman. Everyone has an opinion about your appearance, the way you dress and your hair.”
She said she likes playing American ambassador Kate Wyler, who reacts irritably and rudely to superficial judgments. “I love it. I find it charming,” Russell added.
The actress also noted that conversations about beauty extend beyond the screen. “Plastic surgery is having a big moment right now: men, women, 20-year-olds,” he told the magazine.
“We’re inundated with movie stars. Even if they’re 50 or 60, they look incredible.”
She added: “I watch this show and I’m like, I don’t look like that. I like how I look on the show, and it’s surprising that I feel like it’s weird, but it is.”
Russell also highlighted a playful nod to his hair in the fourth episode of season 3. His character criticizes his secret service double for commenting on his messy hair. “It’s not that I don’t wash it. I do. And I comb it,” the character said. “It’s a style. That style is: not looking like you spend hours [doing your hair].”
Season 3 of The diplomat now streaming on Netflix.
