The perception of me is that I am verbal, intellectual. My voice is lower and I don&#8217;t have Botox, so I tend to play older than I am. And so I&#8217;ve always had a gravitas or some authority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe star has reprised her role as Bertha Russell in the third season of the HBO period drama The Gilded Age but claims that she is far &#8220;goofier&#8221; than the serious character she plays.<\/p>\n<p>\nCarrie &#8211; who has a seven-year-old son and four-year-old daughter with her husband Tracy Letts &#8211; explained: &#8220;It sounds like I protest too much, but I&#8217;m easygoing. I&#8217;m very lighthearted. I&#8217;m very silly. I&#8217;m a very silly mom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe White Lotus actress is renowned for her powerful and distinctive voice and explained that it is something she developed through her work in theatre productions.<\/p>\n<p>\nCarrie said: &#8220;The work I&#8217;ve done being on stage and in big houses and working with voice teachers subsequently has helped me root my voice in my body, and it gives you a lot of authority. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I started to understand just how vital it is as a woman to be fully voiced&#8230; I tell women, and actresses in particular, &#8216;If you&#8217;re talking like this in your little baby voice, that is not threatening. You have no power. You&#8217;re giving up all your power in every room.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhilst Carrie chooses not to go under the knife herself, she will pass &#8220;no judgement&#8221; on stars who opt to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to do what makes you feel good, what makes you feel like the authentic version of yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Authenticity is more evocative than any kind of engineering you might consider doing to your face or your body. Now, this is not the message coming from culture. As a woman who is 44, watching myself in HD is not easy, and it&#8217;s not comfortable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire actress added: &#8220;It&#8217;s a choice I&#8217;m making for myself. Yes, it&#8217;s hard, but I hope that I will continue to work as a character actor &#8211; they kicked me out of leading lady status &#8211; and I&#8217;m very inspired by other women in the business I see who I can tell are also not augmenting their appearance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/carrie-coons-botox-refusal-means-play-older-actress-1421020.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 June 2025 Carrie Coon tends to &#8220;play older&#8221; characters because of her lack of Botox.
