«It’s not going to give me more roles to make me look better. This is who I am and people have to accept it,» the actress told host Piers Morgan, according to the DailyMail. «I’ve accepted it, you accept it!»
Ekland explained that her vow to ditch cosmetic surgeries comes years after she endured a terrifying lip pumping procedure, where a doctor injected her lips with Articol, describing it to her as a «new dental material,» she explained on the UK show.
The lip treatment left the star horrified when she realized it was nearly irreversible, according to the outlet.

«I think it’s tragic because the one time you look really good is before you’re 25. Everyone is altering themselves so they all look older and older and older,» she said in the interview, according to the outlet.
Ekland is known for her role as secretary Mary Goodnight in the 1974 Bond movie «The Man with the Golden Gun.»
