Sophia Loren doesn’t approve of selfies and says today’s starlets need to watch it with the plastic surgery.
The legendary Oscar winner, well-preserved at 81, told us at Cipriani 42nd Street, “These young girls really need to be more careful and selective of what they are doing to their bodies and their faces. I mean, you do not know for sure if you are going to a good doctor . . . you can end up looking worse than what you thought you originally were.” So true!
“In my time,” Loren added, “an actress’ merit and skill was based on her talent. Now when people meet me, they pull out their phones to take pictures. I do not know much about social media, but it seems that that’s what makes people more famous. My era of Hollywood was much better — you were known for your skill and talent.”
The lady didn’t name names, but the Kardashian œuvre comes to mind.
“I was very lucky to be a part of that time,” added Loren, dressed in Armani. She was then honored at the Americans for the Arts National Arts Awards with Lady Gaga, Maria Bell and Herbie Hancock.
