Thandie Newton will never undergo plastic surgery

Thandie Newton insists she'll never go under the knife because she doesn't want cosmetic surgery to affect her ability to express herself.

The Crash star will be turning 40 in November (12) but she's not worried about the ageing process as her favourite actresses have all shunned the Hollywood trend for plastic surgery.

She tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "I'll be 40 this year, but honestly would not consider surgery; all my beauty icons are women with expressive faces.

"Isabelle Huppert ages so beautifully and gracefully, as have Maggie Smith and Judi Dench. I am struck by their expressive beauty."
