At 47 years of age, pop star Robbie Williams remains in the limelight but no longer has the same looks as he did when he rose to fame as a youngster.
The singer has now opened up on how that has influenced him and his feelings on cosmetic surgery.
"The search for aesthetic perfection and the pressure of the entertainment industry can lead to extreme decisions," he said in an interview with The Sun.
Williams refers to the famous Barbie doll, symbol of beauty and unattainable perfection, to reflect on the phenomenon of plastic surgery.
"Everyone looks at bad plastic surgery and says 'God, no, don't do that', but no one sees good plastic surgery because it's not recognized," he said.
The artist opened up about his own struggle with body dysmorphia, and shared his desire to make some adjustments to his appearance.
"I want to get some filler in my eyes, as I look like I have hollow eyes," he admitted.
Robbie Williams' problem with his physical appearance
Robbie Williams' difficult relationship with his appearance is not new.
He has spoken openly about his battle with body dysmorphia, a mental disorder in which a person obsesses over perceived flaws in their appearance.
It is essential to remember that body dysmorphia affects people of all ages and genders.
Williams himself has shared how this condition has accompanied him for much of his life and how it affects his perception of himself.
The constant pressure in the entertainment industry and the struggle against unrealistic standards of beauty can exacerbate these feelings.
"This job is very bad for my health, it's going to kill me unless I look at it in a different way," he told The Sunday Times Magazine a few years ago.
"I've had some fillers done, some Botox, and I've had something done to my chin, which means I can't even move my ****ing forehead."
