Woman Slams Period Actors for Having ‘Botox and Lip Fillers’ — and Thousands Agree with Her Hot Take (Exclusive)

Are period actors allowed to look like they've just stepped off a Hollywood red carpet? According to one impassioned TikToker, no, they can't.

On Jan. 27, a woman by the name of Ally shared a TikTok video in which she "disrespectfully" stated that actors “cannot star in a period piece" if they look like they've had "Botox and lip fillers" done.

She doubled down on her opinion in her caption, writing: “Like, you should never even get past the audition.”

Her video tackles the popular belief that historical bodies of work — think the film Nosferatu, the acclaimed Downtown Abbey or the Gladiator franchise — should accurately portray the beauty standard of the eras they take place in. But to her dismay, many don't.

“I was inspired by movies and shows like The Northman [a film about Vikings released in 2022], Bridgerton [the Regency-era Netflix drama] and1883 [theYellowstone prequel set in post-Civil War times],” Ally tells PEOPLE exclusively of what projects fueled her hot take.

It’s important to note that the aforementioned cosmetic procedures are speculated and haven't actually been confirmed by the actors in said projects. However, that didn't stop other entertainment aficionados from flocking to Ally's comment section to share their thoughts on the polarizing opinion.

In just one day, Ally’s video garnered over five million views, almost one million likes and thousands of concurring comments.

“It’s the worst. Then the fans will be like ‘I’m not here for historical accuracy.' Then what are you here for?” one user wrote.

“I always say this, it completely ruins the immersive effect of watching a good period piece. Accuracy is the whole point. We know people didn't look like that,” added another.

“If it’s not even remotely realistic, I'm turning it off. I want to feel immersed like I'm right there with them in the show. The second I see a manicure or their face stuck in place from the filler I’m LEAVING,” a third user chimed in.

In addition to nips and tucks, users lamented about other beauty enhancements, like false lashes, “perfect” wigs, veneers, hair extensions and acrylic nails (a costume hiccup seen in Bridgerton that fans have also pointed out in a past Reddit thread) that are simply too unbelievable and too much of a distraction from the storyline.

Ally admits that she never expected her video to reach millions, but knew it would ignite a conversation because she’s “seen similar videos and comments about the subject.”

And in addition to her thoughts on non-invasive cosmetic treatments — which celebrities have admitted to having done in recent years — she has a few other gripes including “perfectly groomed appearances in shows where the time period wasn’t known for cleanliness."
