Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett is disgusted by how many of her Hollywood peers have succumbed to using face-paralysing botox treatment and says she is happy to age gracefully.

"It's not just women on film, 18-year-old girls feel pressure to do preventative injecting. I see someone's face, someone's body who'd had children and I think they're the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that," Internet Media Database quoted "The Gift" actress, 35, as saying.

"I look at people sort of entombing themselves and all you see is their little pin holes of terror... and you think, just live your life, death is not going to be any easier just because your face can't move."
