Being an A-list celebrity comes with baggage. It’s not easy feeling the whole world watch your every move. Knowing that people are judging you based on your looks, what you’re wearing, and your personal choices. Michelle Pfeiffer is no exception to this phenomenon.

You probably can’t even remember the first time you saw her because it seems like she’s been on your screens forever. Whether it was being catwoman in the famous Batman movie franchise, a musical like Hairspray, or a classic like Scarface, she has always been captivating.
Being an A-lister like Michelle means that people see her as a role model. Unlike other famous beauties, Michelle has always taken this responsibility seriously. She’s never been the type to get caught up in scandals or set a bad example for her fans.
As with any female celebrity, people love to look for flaws. But Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the few Hollywood actresses that opted not to get plastic surgery. Instead, she is aging gracefully and very –shockingly– slowly. Naturally, everyone is asking: what’s her secret?

Curious? Lucky for you, Michelle opened up to us and revealed her secret to a youthful look and how she dramatically slows down the aging process. Can’t wait to hear more? Read on:
Urbanette Magazine: You have this incredible glow about you, Michelle. Your skin is so healthy-looking and much younger than your years. I’m sure our readers want to know –what’s your secret?
Michelle Pfeiffer: Thank you! I definitely think it’s because I’m vegan. Eating a vegan diet — it’s just so much healthier — and you avoid a lot of toxins that could age your skin and your body. I really noticed a difference in my skin not too long after switching to fully vegan. And I needed to eat are fruits and vegetables to stay lean. It’s all about vanity, honestly. [She laughs.] The older I’ve gotten, the more it’s occurred to me that I’m doing it in order to live longer, though the vanity component will always be there.

Urbanette: The general public’s perception is that going vegan is not an easy feat. That’s why when someone goes vegan, the question many wonder is “why’d they do it?” I know you’re loving the benefits and have lots of reasons to stay on a vegan diet, but what was the initial inspiration behind it?
Michelle: I was watching CNN, and ‘The Last Heart Attack’ came on. I watched Bill Clinton talk about the last heart attack he had and learned that Clinton is a foodie. He’s a smart guy, so I’m thinking, ” if Bill Clinton loves the book by Dr. Esselstyn, there must be something that makes him stick to it.” He isn’t going to do something unless that there’s science behind it. So I got the book and I just felt like the science behind it was irrefutable. I couldn’t avoid the truth in it. My father died from cancer, and the older you get there’s a lot of disease. You see people dying from chronic disease and terminal illnesses. Anyway, science is always changing, but this one seems to stick.
Urbanette: I’m sorry to hear about your father having had cancer. I had it too, which was part of my process for going vegan. It’s a very anti-cancer diet. It seems like nowadays so many people get it — young people, too.
Michelle: So you know — there’s just too much cancer. I just feel like if there’s anything that I can do to lend my support, I’m happy to do it. I’m an active participant in Cedar Sinai’s Pink Party. The founder is an old friend of mine and I know her from the old neighborhood and met her thirteen years ago when she first opened her shop. And over the years, I’ve seen this pink party grow from a neighborhood thing to one of Cedar Sinai’s biggest cancer fundraisers. We both have someone very close to us with ovarian cancer.

Urbanette: Let’s go back to the vegan diet. Was sticking to it hard for you initially?
Michelle: Maybe for the first few weeks, but I love the vegan diet because I love carbs. I’ve never really loved animal protein in terms of animal meat. I only ate it because I used to think it was good for me.

Urbanette: Sie haben erwähnt, dass Sie einst Teil einer Sekte waren, die Breatharianismus praktizierte. Erweckt die vegane Ernährung bei Ihnen Erinnerungen an diese Art von Lebensstil?
Michelle: Mir wurde klar, dass ich Mitglied einer Sekte war, als ich nach einer Rolle recherchierte, die ich vor Jahren gespielt hatte. Ich war jung und neu in Hollywood und hatte eine Beziehung zu diesem Paar, das behauptete, Sporttrainer zu sein. Sie haben mir eine Diät auferlegt, die niemand einhalten konnte. Sie waren sehr kontrollierend. Ich wohnte nicht bei ihnen, aber ich war oft dort und sie sagten mir immer, dass ich mehr mitkommen müsste. Ich musste die gesamte Zeit, die ich dort verbrachte, bezahlen, daher war es finanziell sehr belastend. Sie glauben, dass die Menschen in ihrem höchsten Zustand atemsüchtig waren. Sie glaubten, dass wir keine Nahrung und kein Wasser brauchen, um uns zu ernähren, sondern nur die Sonne.
Urbanette: Es ist toll, dass du da rausgekommen bist.
Michelle: Mein erster Ehemann, Peter Horton, hat mir geholfen, diese Krise zu überwinden.

Urbanette: Alle applaudieren Ihnen dafür, dass Sie in Würde altern, und Sie sind eine der wenigen weiblichen Schauspielerinnen, die sich keiner Schönheitsoperation unterzogen haben. Wie stehen Sie dazu?
Michelle: Manchmal denke ich darüber nach, manchmal nicht. Es hängt wirklich davon ab, wie gut ich beleuchtet bin. Es hängt von meinem Make-up und allen möglichen Dingen ab.
Urbanette: Sie denken also darüber nach? Was denken Sie darüber?
Michelle: Ich sage nicht, dass ich mich nicht irgendwann einer plastischen Operation unterziehen werde. Ich denke, dass es mit zunehmendem Alter immer schwieriger wird, nie zu sagen. Vor allem, wenn man im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit steht. Es spielt keine Rolle, ich denke, wenn die Leute hier oder da tatsächlich etwas tun wollen, wen interessiert das? Wenn sie sich dadurch ein bisschen besser fühlen … Was ich dagegen habe, ist zu viel. Und wirklich schlimme plastische Chirurgie. Wenn ich denke, dass es zu einer Ablenkung wird und wenn die Leute nicht mehr wie sie selbst aussehen. Solange es sie nicht überholt.
Urbanette: Was raten Sie Menschen, die darüber nachdenken, vegan zu leben?
Michelle: Ich würde sagen: Tu, was ich getan habe. Eines Tages habe ich mir einfach gesagt, dass ich es schaffen und mir acht Wochen Zeit lassen werde. Und dass ich mich nicht ein Leben lang darauf festlegen werde, weil es psychologisch enorm für die Menschen ist, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen. Und ich werde einfach sehen, wie ich mich fühle, ich werde noch einmal mein Blut testen und sehen, ob da etwas ist. Wenn man sich so lange Zeit nimmt, verdrängt man irgendwie das Gefühl, wie groß und schwierig es am Anfang ist. Und wenn Sie sich wirklich lange genug Zeit lassen, um sich anders zu fühlen und die Vorteile zu erkennen, dann wird es großartig sein.

Loved reading your article today. She’s so beautiful, honest and true. ❤❤❤
A very good read! It is inspiring to read an exceptional actress reveal “natural” beauty secrets especially in this day and age where even very young girls would like to undergo plastic surgery because of what is seen and heard from well-known personalities.
Thanks for publishing this interview! You always have encouraging articles for your readers!
OMG! She’s so beautiful! In the future, I want to be like her… Be look up to and be known as someone who maintained beauty without the need to undergo plastic surgery!
I know right!!! Of course, we can be like her!!! To be honest, I find some actors/actress funny because they obviously have undergone bad plastic surgery! Very obvious and just won’t fit them! LOL
Great article, Urbanette! I’m aging gracefully 🙂 I used to tell myself that age is just a number. Well, I still do but I make sure that as number(s) continuously add to my age, I maintain a healthy living.
Like Michelle, I’m not a big fan of plastic surgery. I have this belief that if you want to be beautiful and fit, you’ve got to achieve and work for it, and not just depend on easy ways.
Yeah, it’s really alarming and disheartening that younger generations are getting cancer 🙁
After reading this interview, I felt more contented that I went vegan! I guess despite the positive effects I feel (like eliminating that bloated feeling) I still need more motivation to keep me going with my vegan diet…
Wonderful interview! Michelle has proven that if you want something, you have to work hard and persevere. I’m glad that plastic surgery is not really an option to her. I also applaud her because she’s vegan!
Yeah, she’s an exceptional actress! I learned something new today — “breatharianism.” One of the fad diets…
Very nice interview! Thanks for revealing natural beauty secrets! It feels motivating that an influential person like her is not really into artificial methods of retaining beauty — plastic surgery.
Indeed she’s aging gracefully. I agree with her, there’s nothing wrong with plastic surgery but there is “bad plastic surgery” that destroys.
And yeah, being vegan eliminates toxins leaving skin healthy and glowing 😉
She is very beautiful! And still very influential! Reading this interview made me more proud I became vegan 🙂 I know I’m on the right track!
