Jane Seymour, 73, reveals whether she has had any plastic surgery as she shares she was urged at age 40 to get her ‘bulgy’ eyes fixed

Jane Seymour is setting the record straight on her personal history with plastic surgery.

The Somewhere in Time actress, 73, revealed that when she was 40, she was told she had ‘bulgy eyes’ and was encouraged to do something about it. 

And ‘to set the record straight – because people were getting it wrong – they attempted to do something to my under eyes when I was 40 because photographers kept saying that I had bulgy eyes,’ she told People.

‘The doctor told me it’s actually a muscle, so there’s nothing I can do about it,’ she explained.

Jane got cheeky, adding that she’s had ‘quite a good career considering the bulgy eye’ and said she never wants to ‘do anything permanent.’

But she’s not against plastic surgery, she just hasn’t felt like it’s the right decision for her personally.

‘I’ve been playing a lot of amazing roles, recently two women with Alzheimer’s with very emotional scenes, and if you’re going to be that emotional, you need every muscle in your face,’ Seymour said. 

‘So I have nothing against people doing anything they want to do, but for me personally, it is not helping me in my craft, unless I’m playing somebody who’s had Botox, in which case, I would be all over it.’ 

And she has one tip for beauty everyone can follow: smile.  

‘The best facelift is a smile,’ she said. ‘If you want to look young, just smile from ear to ear.’

Previously the Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman star said eschews plastic surgery in favor of ‘temporary enhancements’ as she wants her face to remain natural and expressive for her acting job.

‘I’m a temporary enhancement person, rather than a permanent enhancement person. If I need eyelashes, I stick them on. If I need more hair, I clip some in.

‘Because I’m an actress, I am sometimes required to play roles much younger than me and then in the same show very much older than I am, so I keep my face mobile.

‘That’s why I don’t do the things a lot of people are doing because I’m a blank canvas. I’m an actress,’ Jane explained.

‘I want to be able to play every emotion there is because it would be like having a string instrument and taking a few of the strings off or numbing them.’

The British-American beauty has also been very vocal about the ageism in Hollywood. 

In an interview with Hello! magazine she said: ‘The world is against aging. We hate aging. We look at aging and we go, “Oh, no, there’s a wrinkle, oh my God. Get rid of it. Grey hair. No. Terrifying!”

‘Whereas you can look at it the other way and you can say actually, I now have time in my life to do things I really want to do,’ she explained. Maybe I can now become the person I want to be.

‘Menopause is a taboo subject, no one wants to talk about aging, especially women because they’re doing everything they can to look 20 or 30 years younger.

‘So the last thing they want to do is to talk about that and there’s always been this whole thing that when you turn 50, you’re not having babies anymore, so now you’re kind of useless. You’re on the fence, you’re done.’
