People still find it hard to believe that Nicole Kidman is just as stunning as she was years ago. Rumors of plastic surgery have followed her entire life like paparazzi. Especially now that she is nearing 60 and looking flawless in A Family Affair, her latest Netflix project.
It’s as if people forget she’s been defying time forever. However, all the rumors did force her to confess to using Botox, but she ultimately hated it. But hey, with Kidman’s grace and acting prowess, who needs rumors when she’s got an Oscar to back it up.
Nicole Kidman Confessed to Trying Botox, But It Was a No-Go!
Nicole Kidman has always been the epitome of grace and beauty since her debut in Hollywood. Despite decades passing, her appearance has remained unchanged, she’s still the same doll-faced, absolutely gorgeous woman people first saw in her debut film. Consequently, rumors and speculation about plastic surgery have persisted over the years. Now more than ever, especially with her effortless appearance in A Family Affair alongside Zac Efron and Joey King for Netflix, the scrutiny surrounding her looks continues.
Aware of the constant chatter about her appearance, Kidman addressed it back in 2007 when she told Marie Claire that she hadn’t undergone any procedures on her face. She said,
To be honest, I am completely natural, I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don’t smoke. I take care of myself. And I’m very proud to say that.

However, a few years later, things took a turn. While speaking to a German magazine called TV Movie (via TV Guide), she revealed that she had indeed used Botox since the last time she spoke about it. However, she didn’t enjoy it at all and eventually stopped using it. She said,
I’ve tried a lot of things [to stop aging], but aside from sports and good nutrition, most things don’t make a difference, I have also tried Botox. I didn’t like how my face looked afterwards.
Unhappy with how Botox changed her face, Kidman now maintains a fit physique and radiant skin through a disciplined diet and exercise routine, showcasing elegance at every turn.

Unlike others, Kidman opts not to eliminate entire food groups but instead emphasizes making mostly good choices. During an interview with Women’s Health magazine, she revealed her approach. She said,
I go out on the tour bus [with Keith]. There’s a lot of junk food on the bus … I’m just not someone that believes in denial. It’s walking a path that’s ultimately 80% healthy, 20% … sometimes it falls to 70, But that’s why I think you have things like natural health remedies — you find out what works for you. And I do a lot and I have a lot of energy.

I come from a marathon running family so that’s been part of my life since I was a little girl, I would get dragged out of bed by my dad… and he would just make us run laps of the oval. I just put my music on and off I go. I go into the woods and that’s why I love living in Nashville. And in Sydney you’ve got the beach, which is absolutely beautiful to run on. I also love to spin.
However, she’s not overly strict with her regimen and prefers to go with the flow, which helps her stay healthy and in shape without missing out on life’s pleasures.
