After years of denying the use of cosmetic surgery to achieve her age-defying looks, Nicole Kidman has pulled an about-face.

The actress, 43, has finally admitted to using Botox – but says she no longer uses it.

"I've tried a lot of things, but aside from sports and good nutrition, most things don't make a difference," Kidman told the German magazine TV Movie. "I have also tried Botox."

The actress' confession is a turn-around from her previous statements regarding beauty enhancement aids. In 2007, she denied ever having cosmetic surgery performed on her porcelain skin.

"To be honest, I am completely natural," Kidman told Marie Claire at the time. "I have nothing in my face or anything. I wear sunscreen, and I don't smoke. I take care of myself. And I'm very proud to say that."

However now that she has come clean, Kidman, who is nominated for a Golden Globe for her emotional portrayal of a grieving mother in "Rabbit Hole," says she stopped using the injections because she didn't like the results. Botox is generally used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles on a patient's face.

"I didn't like how my face looked afterwards," the actress admitted. "Now I don't use it anymore – I can move my forehead again!"
