Cox, 52, spoke out during an expedition with outdoor
adventurer Bear Grylls in the Irish highlands, in which the pair
abseiled down sheer cliffs and shared maggots found in a rotting
sheep.
"Getting older has not been... I don't think it's the easiest
thing. But I have learned lessons," Cox said in the "Running
Wild with Bear Grylls" episode that aired on NBC television on
Monday.
Cox, who spoke some years ago about using Botox and laser
treatments to prolong her youthful looks, said she was now more
relaxed.
"Sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a
picture of yourself and go, 'Oh, God.' Like, you look horrible.
I have done things that I regret, and luckily they're things
that dissolve and go away. So, um, that's good, because it's not
always been my best look. So, now I just have a new motto: 'Just
let it be,'" she said.
Cox, who played Monica Geller for 10 years in the comedy series
"Friends," is the latest star to speak out about the pressure
women feel in Hollywood to maintain their looks.
Her "Friends" co-star Jennifer Aniston, 47, last month wrote
that she was sick of the "sport-like scrutiny and body shaming
that occurs daily" in celebrity and other media, while "Bridget
Jones" star Renee Zellweger, 47, slammed persistent speculation
that she had undergone plastic surgery on her face or eyes.
"Too skinny, too fat, showing age, better as a brunette,
cellulite thighs, facelift scandal, going bald, fat belly or
bump? Ugly shoes, ugly feet, ugly smile, ugly hands, ugly dress,
ugly laugh; headline material which emphasizes the implied
variables meant to determine a person’s worth," Zellweger wrote
in an August 5 blog for the Huffington Post.
