Sarah Paulson finally broke her silence on what the internet thinks she’s done to her face. The 51-year-old actress gave a definitive answer about plastic surgery rumors during a candid podcast conversation.

Sarah Paulson denies plastic surgery rumors with a candid admission

Sarah Paulson addressed online rumors about plastic surgery during her appearance on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast. The American Horror Story star acknowledged that people across the internet believe she has had work done. She firmly denied all the speculation with a straightforward response.

“I don’t put anything in my face. I have no goo in there,” Paulson said during the conversation. She added that the gossip extends across multiple procedures. “People all over the internet think that I’ve done my lips, my forehead, everything. I’ve done nothing to my face,” she stated.

The topic arose when the two discussed whether Paulson preferred to be filmed from a particular side. Paulson explained that one side of her face appears different from the other. “It’s just less sharp. It’s just a little softer,” she told Handler about her reasoning.

Handler backed up Paulson’s claims during the exchange. “No, I can see that you’ve done nothing. I don’t mean that in a negative way,” Handler said. She also told Paulson, “You look like you, and you don’t look like you need anything.” Handler then predicted a future cultural shift against cosmetic procedures. Paulson responded by admitting she still looks “at facelifts on the internet every day.”

This is not the first time Paulson has addressed the topic publicly. In April 2024, she told her longtime friend Pedro Pascal in an Interview magazine conversation that she didn’t “shoot anything into my face.” She also discussed the physical toll of performing in the Broadway play Appropriate at the time. Paulson noted the repeated facial expressions were creating new lines between her eyebrows. The actress has dated fellow actress Holland Taylor, who is 83, since 2015.
