LONDON, U.K. --

Rachel Weisz has come out swinging against Botox.

In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar U.K., the former “Mummy” franchise star suggested celebs stay away from the face-freezing serum.

“It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen,” Rachel said.

Behind the Oscar winner’s opinion is her belief that facial movements are essential to her profession.

“Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?” she added.

And it appears the English-born actress likes to stay natural when it comes to style too.

“I love the way girls in London dress. It’s so different to the American ‘blow-dry and immaculate grooming’ thing.”
