Sarah Paulson shuts down plastic surgery rumors for good: “I have no goo in there”
Sarah Paulson, 51, has finally addressed the internet’s plastic surgery rumours, setting out her stance on facelifts in a podcast chat — and you’ll want to hear it.
Let’s be honest, the rumours about Sarah Paulson and what may (or may not) be going on with her face have been bouncing round the internet for ages. Speculation bubbles up every time she’s got a new project on, and it doesn’t help that Hollywood these days is obsessed with faces that barely move. Anyway, Paulson herself has finally cut through the noise and set the record straight, in what might be the most refreshingly blunt celebrity podcast moment we’ll get this month.
Paulson told Chelsea Handler during her Dear Chelsea podcast: 'I don’t put anything in my face. I have no goo in there.'
Paulson Gets Candid (and a Bit Technical)
Paulson was a guest on Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast, and the subject of plastic surgery came up – as it tends to. She’s more than aware that the internet thinks she’s been quietly tinkering with her looks – lips, forehead, the works. But she’s adamant: no injections, no fillers, no procedures. In her own words, there's ‘no goo’ in there. The chat veered into specifics because Handler asked if Paulson had a preferred on-camera side. Paulson reckoned one side of her face looks 'softer', less angular than the other. Not exactly high drama, but it’s the sort of thing you notice when your job is being filmed nonstop.
Handler, for her part, seemed genuinely convinced, telling Paulson she looks very much like herself and certainly doesn’t look like she 'needs anything' done. She also lobbed in a prediction that in the not-too-distant future, the pendulum will swing back against all this filler madness. Paulson wasn’t about to disagree – though she did admit to spending plenty of time eyeing up facelifts online, so the fascination isn’t lost on her either.
This Isn’t Her First Rodeo
Just to be clear, this isn’t some one-off denial. Back in April 2024, Paulson chatted with Pedro Pascal for Interview magazine, where she also shot down the rumours, insisting she’d never had any injectables. If you were wondering, performing in the Broadway play Appropriate hasn’t exactly helped matters – she’s mentioned the role left her with fresh lines between her eyebrows, purely from all those onstage grimaces. Showbiz, glamorous as always.
