Ellen DeGeneres is happy to be looking older after she "stopped doing Botox and filler".
Ellen DeGeneres has ditched Botox
The 66-year-old talk show host and comedian - who recently returned to the stage for her final Netflix special - has opened up about how her outlook has changed over the years.
Speaking in 'Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval', she said: "I used to say that I didn't care what other people thought of me.
"I realise now, looking back, that I said that at the height of my popularity.
"Hey, if I look older than when you saw me last it's because I'm older than when you saw me last. And also I stopped doing Botox and filler."
The audience cheered, and Ellen insisted it was a "waste of energy" to focus on what other people think.
She added: "Such a waste of time to worry about what other think of us. Just a waste of energy. We're just guessing, we don't know. It's impossible to guess what people are thinking."
Back in 2021, Ellen announced her own skincare line called Kind Science, as she started to branch out into the beauty market.
She said on her own daytime talk show at the time: "There’s something that I’m very excited about. I have been working on this for three years and I’m excited to share it with you today."
She described the line as "age-positive skincare that actually works".
Ellen's long-running daytime talk show came under fire in 2020 over allegations of a toxic workplace before concluding two years later after 19 seasons
Addressing the controversy in her special, she joked: "The ‘Be Kind’ girl wasn’t kind, that was the headline.
“Here’s the problem, I’m a comedian who got a talk show and I ended the show every day by saying, ‘Be kind to one another.’
"Had I ended the show by saying, ‘Go f*** yourselves,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised to find out I’m kind.”
