Helen Mirren on Plastic Surgery: Understands Why People Do It

So many people, including celebrities, choose to undergo plastic surgery these days, whether it’s to knock a few years off their looks or just to change something they don’t like about themselves. Reality TV star Heidi Montag is a prime example.

And although 64-year actress Helen Mirren, who has starred in movies such as “The Queen” and “Calendar Girls,” would never resort to surgery herself, she says she can understand why people (especially women) would want to undergo cosmetic surgery.

A lot of people have those days, where they just don’t want to look in the mirror because there is something that they don’t like about themselves – even Mrs. Mirren has those days. But some people choose to go under the knife to change things.

Mirren said that people should be allowed to do whatever they want to make themselves happy, and if it involves having cosmetic surgery then they should have it done. Helen said she doesn’t feel as if the industry she’s in concentrates on looks alone.
