“I’m Pretty Sure I’ll Never Get Any Sort Of Surgery” – Amy Schumer

Unlike most of her colleagues, Amy Schumer is not exactly worried about ageing in front of the camera. In fact, she’s pretty sure that she’ll not be getting any sort of surgery to enhance her looks anytime soon or in the nearest future.

The funny actress makes these revelations as she covers the first ever beauty issue of InStyle Magazine rocking a one-piece swimsuit by Lauren Ralph Lauren.

See excerpts from her interview below

On whether she worries about aging in front of the camera: No, not yet. What’s good about not being a model is that it’s not the thing I trade on. Once I start looking older, that won’t affect me. I have never gotten anything done because I’m, like, so gorgeous. I’m good-looking enough that I can work in the business. I get enough attention from men that I feel good. I see pictures of myself now, and I look younger than I think of myself. It hasn’t scared me yet.

On if she would ever get Botox or filler: I’m not against it. I’m pretty sure I’ll never get any sort of surgery, but no proclamations. Also, I cannot imagine a moment when I will need filler for my face, as if it needs to be filled. [Laughs] Can we unfill this? Let’s get an emptier.

On what she loves about being famous: That I can get into places. They make things easy for you. If I go see a play, it’s taken care of. If I go to a restaurant, I can get in right now.

And what she hates: Most days it’s fine, and then some days it’s like that episode of Black Mirror where everybody’s filming on their cell phones. It’s constant surveillance, and it feels like a violation. It is still new enough for me that I’m bothered by it. I never fantasized about the fame part of anything. I was only afraid of it.

On how she became so confident: Yeah, my mom lied to me. [Laughs] My parents made me think I was a genius supermodel, and it was kind of too late when I found out that they had been lying. But I was always really confident, though there have been bumps in the road. During freshman year of college the girls at the school were just so much hotter than me. I couldn’t compete, and I lost all my self-esteem. I was confused about where my value lay, and then I figured it out.

On how she figured it out: From hitting rock bottom, I think. It wasn’t like I was sleeping around, but there was an older guy I had a major crush on. He called me one morning at 6, and I was like, “Oh my god, he’s really thinking about me this early in the day!” But it was just that he was still out, and I was his last-ditch effort to hook up. I was lying in his bed, and I remember looking up at his ceiling, and Sam Cooke was playing. I’d never heard him before, and it was the most beautiful music I’d ever heard, and I was like, “I’ve got to get out of here. I’m not going to be this girl.” But even when I’m feeling bad, I still feel like I have value. I’m also realistic because if I look my absolute best and go to an awards thing, I’m still going to be seated next to Blake Lively or Emily Ratajkowski. So that can break your heart or you can be like, “This is pretty good. I’ll take this level.”
