    Nicole Kidman reveals she tried Botox but kicked the habit after her features froze

    Nicole Kidman insists she’s a natural Botox-free beauty and her seemingly ageless looks are without cosmetic enhancement, although it hasn’t always been that way. In a refreshingly frank interview the star has admitted she’s used Botox injections in the past.

    She even went as far as slamming the procedure dubbing her decision to have jabs in her face as an ‘unfortunate move’, before revealing she stopped and is now relieved she has movement back in her face.

    Speaking to Italian newspaper, La Repubblica, Nicole Kidman said: ‘No surgery for me; I did try Botox, unfortunately, but I got out of it and now I can finally move my face again.’

    Nicole added: ‘I wear sunscreen, I don’t smoke and I take care of myself, and I am proud to say that, Anybody can do anything to themselves – I don’t judge – but personally I believe in being physically fit. That’s how I was raised.

    ‘I can’t go in the sun because I’m fair-skinned. It was a nightmare when I was younger but it has its benefits now.’
