14 DAY TRIAL // Voted by various publications among the most beautiful women in showbiz today, it’s hard to think of Minka Kelly as someone who would be told they needed plastic surgery. Yet this is precisely what she heard from another woman when she was 19 and starting off in Hollywood.
The gorgeous brunette, who is now promoting the new TV series “Charlie’s Angels,” based on the classic with Farah Fawcett, made the revelation during an appearance on David Letterman, Us Weekly reports.
She says that, when she was younger, a beautiful Playmate girl offered to manage her – and, on the same occasion, offered her some tips on the plastic surgery she needed to become famous.
“I was 19. She was very seductive and said that she wanted to manage me and that I had a lot of potential,” the actress recalled on the show.
“She said that she could get me a job at this doctor’s office in return for plastic surgery which I would need to be a Playboy Playmate,” Minka said.
“All I needed was lipo, fake breasts, a few veneers and all kinds of stuff,” she laughed.
She took up the offer, but only lasted about a month on the job because she realized she really didn’t want to go under the knife.
“When I told her that I didn’t want that, she said I would never be Playmate of the Year and I said, ‘I think that’s okay. I’m okay with that’,” Minka told Letterman, to which he assured her that she was just “fine” with what she had.
Minka isn’t the only female star to speak about the procedures young hopefuls are told they need in order to attain fame in Hollywood.
Amanda Seyfried, for instance, was told she needed Botox when she was 25, which is the same age that Carey Mulligan also heard this from her own doctor, as we also informed you at the time.
Luckily, all three actresses were wise enough to turn down these “kind” offers at a so-called improvement.
