Cate Blanchett Blasts Teen Surgery  7/3/07

Actress Cate Blanchett has blasted mothers who allow their children to have plastic surgery in an attempt to mimic their Hollywood idols.

The Notes Of A Scandal actress admits she is relieved she is mother to two sons because girls are under so much pressure to be body perfect.

She says, "It's a big difference women in their 60s or 70s finally deciding to get their eyes done. Who knows what you're going to think? But when you've got an 18-year-old daughter who says 'Mummy can I get a boob job?' and you go 'Sure honey'.

"I mean their bodies haven't even finished evolving. The fact that you've got a magazine, you know all these magazines for teenage girls about consuming and they're so fragile. I've got sons. I don't know what I'd do if I had a daughter."
