Jackie Stallone has spoken about her plastic surgery regrets – saying
countless botched procedures have left her looking ‘like a chipmunk with a
mouth full of walnuts’. The 91-year-old socialite opened up for the first time
about her health since she suffered a terrifying heart attack two months ago. In
an exclusive sit-down interview she also spoke about her ‘horror’ year in which
she watched her daughter Toni Ann Filiti die in her own home – just six weeks
after the tragic death of her grandson Sage. Defiant Jackie – mother of
Hollywood screen icon Sylvester – told how she doesn’t fear death and is proud
to look so striking when most people her age are confined to nursing homes. But
when asked if she still uses cosmetic surgery, Jackie said: ‘I do and actually
I’ve got too much, I look like I've got a mouth full of nuts, it’s Juvederm (a
cosmetic filler), too much of it. I feel as though I look like a chipmunk.’ Explaining
what Juvederm is, she continued: ‘It plumps [you] up here (pointing at her
cheeks) but it looks like you have a mouth full of walnuts.
However Jackie, who still attends red carpets in high heels and mini-skirts,
is clearly a lot fitter than most people her age. Describing how she has kept so fit and healthy, she says: ‘I use a
bag of spinach a day, every morning for breakfast I steam a bowl of it and boil
an egg on it. That’s the secret to my longevity. ‘Who do you know that
looks as good at 91? I am healthy.
Here I am with a husband half my age, he’s
60.’ Jackie, who lives in an upmarket condo a stone’s throw from Santa Monica
beach, does tap dancing classes three times a week, has a physical trainer
twice a week and spends two hours a day playing her piano. She says: ‘I don’t
waste my time going to silly Hollywood parties. You have to be a role model for
seniors. And actually I became a role model for the movie stars at 50, because
what they dread more than anything is getting old and shot. But I get more
popular as I get older.’ ‘Hollywood fears age, but I think old is coming in. I
think cougars are coming back. We’d all like to get there, get there like me.
Not on a walker, not in a nursing home,’ she said. Asked what procedures she’s
had, Jackie said: ‘I’ve had chemical peels, I’ve had three of those and about
50 injections. ‘
‘No Botox, I don’t need that, what I want Botox wouldn’t help. I don’t
have wrinkles in my forehead, I genetically don’t have that, that’s something I
can be thankful for.’ Jackie still passionately believes in plastic surgery – but thinks
Beverly Hills doctors are overrated ‘hacks’. She said: ‘I’m all for everything
to make it (you) look good - anything and everything. But most of the plastic
surgery in Beverly Hills is rotten. I have seen on TV and in person the biggest
hacks. I will go to other states.’ ‘Just because it’s Beverly Hills and they do
the stars, but do you see what the stars look like? They look like they’ve been
struck by lightning don’t they?' she added. 'You take Elvis Presley’s wife,
doesn’t she look like she's frozen in space and in time. Like a statue,
frozen.’
‘Did you ever see Bing Crosby’s wife Kathy Crosby? They took too much
out of her eyelids and she looks basically like she’s got two headlights
there.’ However one person Jackie admires is Joan Rivers. She said: ‘I think one of the best jobs is Joan Rivers. But they can’t
seem to do anything for her body it doesn’t match the face. Her body is
all-decrepit and she’s walking like she needs a cane. ‘Her face even though it’s marble, I’d like to meet her doctor. I don’t
know him but if I did I'd be there.’ Recently Jackie has had more to worry about than plastic surgery –
suffering her THIRD heart attack in February (the other two both happened
within three months of each other when she was 75.)
She said: ‘I’ve had three. My answer is screw it, if you’re going to go
it’s a good way to go. You go in one piece and you go gracefully.’ Jackie blames the health scare on a devastating past year in which Sage
died of a heart attack at just 36 and her daughter Toni-Ann passed away from
lung cancer. The pair died within six weeks of each other last summer. She said: ‘I saw my daughter die a day at a time of lung cancer, lying
there, upstairs. I have on my counter with her ashes in an urn. Every day I
couldn’t wait to go to bed at night and yet I hated to get up every morning
because I knew what I was going to face, nothing was going to be any good. “I’d
have to get out of bed and go to Toni Ann.
