Binoche Shuns Botox

The 46 year old is determined to grow old gracefully because she's convinced battling ageing "doesn't work".

And although she appreciates the fear women feel as they watch their looks fade, Binoche is adamant cosmetic procedures would be to the detriment of her screen career.

She says, "Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.

"But I understand the fear, you know? I really do: it's easy to think: 'I'll never work again if I lose some of my beauty'. The thing is that I never felt beautiful... It's difficult to act with Botox because it doesn't move - so no, I've never been tempted to have it."
