The now-viral post, shared by the account @/celebmess on February 6, featured a red-carpet image of the 58-year-old Oscar winner and made fun of her alleged use of facial fillers. It included a sarcastic meme using the “Sure, Jan” phrase and highlighted an old interview where Kidman denied ever using Botox, insisting she was “completely natural.” A dermal filler brand was also tagged.
