Reese Witherspoon doesn't judge women who go under the knife but, at the same time, she's not pro plastic surgery either. However, where she's concerned, she'd rather she didn't get anything done right now, she says.

The blonde bombshelll is promoting her latest movie, “This Means War” (you can see 9 full minutes of it here), in the latest issue of Glamour UK, the Daily Mail informs.

Among other things, she also talks about the need to be frugal even with her millions and, of course, whether she feels any kind of pressure to have plastic surgery to keep up with other leading ladies out there.

While Reese has already said that being in showbiz tends to be more taxing past a certain age, she personally doesn't feel pressure to go under the knife right now.

Granted, that's not to say she won't ever.

“I’m not for it. I’m not against it. I have plenty of friends who do stuff and if it makes you feel good, great…” Reese opens up for the magazine.

“But I don’t think it’s the fix for some sort of unease that you’re having about who you are as a human being. I don’t think I need plastic surgery at this point: Can we just go day-by-day on that one?” she adds.

On the same note, the actress says that, whereas she was very critical with herself when she was younger, she now knows she can no longer afford to be so.

Body image, she says, is about acceptance and learning what's more important for you: like, staying healthy.

“I have the body I earned: I had two kids and I’m still strong and healthy. And you start to have a different respect for your body the older you get. Instead of tearing yourself apart all the time, you start to go 'Oh wow',” she says.

Because of this, she's able to say with a clear conscience that knowing she had to shoot some scenes for the aforementioned film in her underwear, making out with either of her co-stars, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine, was no problem at all.

“I don't worry about it,” Reese says.
