Actress Shuns Botox After Mother's MS Battle
6 Jun
Summary
- Nicola Walker refuses cosmetic procedures due to her mother's MS.
- She finds it strange to be older than her late mother.
- Walker starred in Unforgotten, Last Tango in Halifax, and The Split.
Nicola Walker, 56, has declared she will never opt for cosmetic 'tweakments,' such as Botox. This decision stems from witnessing her mother's painful struggle with multiple sclerosis (MS) before her passing at age 54. Walker, who is now older than her mother was, described the experience as "very difficult" and "very strange."
Having observed her mother undergoing drug trials and injections for MS, Walker finds non-essential cosmetic procedures perplexing. Her own mortality is a concern, primarily due to not wanting her son to endure similar grief. The actress, known for roles in 'Spooks,' 'Last Tango in Halifax,' and 'The Split,' also revealed that she delayed her wedding, feeling that celebrating milestones after her mother's death would be akin to betrayal.
Walker's recent work includes the "wrongcom" Alice and Steve, where she plays a mother reacting to her best friend's relationship with her 26-year-old daughter. She expressed strong empathy for her character's protective instincts in such a situation.
