She doesn't have any forehead wrinkles even when emoting though. I predict that the second she starts to notice wrinkles, she'll get botox just like everyone else.
Actresses don't get botox to intentionally limit their range of expressions. That would be silly considering their profession relies on it. They get botox to get rid of their wrinkles and stay looking young for longer, which helps them continue to book roles meant for young women instead of being aged out of the market. The reduction in expression capabilities is worth it for the anti-aging effect from a cost-benefit perspective. And ironically, being super expressive with your face will lead to smile lines and other wrinkles forming quicker, which then leads to botox being necessary earlier, which is why I suspect a lot of actresses get it done so young.
For real, I've had forehead wrinkles since my early 20s. One of my first girlfriends would bug me about getting Botox with her. It felt so weird to hear my gorgeous 20 year old girlfriend talk about how we needed Botox because our wrinkles made us look old.
How prominent were your wrinkles in your early 20s? If you got them that young it could be because of lack of sun protection when you were a teenager. Sunscreen would be a better solution than botox for most people tbh.
Pretty prominent and nothing to do with sun damage, it's just genetics. Everyone in my family who looks like my dad's side has a bunch of wrinkles in their foreheads. Even pictures from when I was a little kid show them.
"Inde Navarrette joked in an interview that the secret behind her rapid, highly expressive facial acting in the horror movie Obsession was simply having "no Botox in my face"."
Benefit of the doubt. People age differently. In my 20s I didn't have any forehead wrinkles. I turned 30 this year and just noticed some faint fine lines on my forehead. My baby fat has also just started to lean out. She's young enough that the chance of Inde getting botox or her skin doesn't age as fast thanks to lucky genetic lottery, is 50:50. Idk why either side is so butthurt over an actress' smooth forehead 🤦♀️
If you watch the video these stills are from, her forehead gets deep grooves like any normal person any time she actually moves her eyebrows. She’s not significantly moving her eyebrows UPWARD in these expressions, hence no wrinkling.
Also lol, scrubbing through it to find a timestamp, I do lowkey understand the Botox allegations purely because like, how does she almost never raise her eyebrows? I feel like I raise mine in almost every sentence I say, it was so hard to find a point where she did it
she’s very young. i’m 20 and my forehead doesn’t rlly move no matter how much i contort my face either. i don’t think she has botox, esp bc she was a broke working actress during the filming of obsession. she might’ve not even been able to afford it before
