Keri Russell finds it "weird" that "everyone has an opinion about the way you look"
The 49-year-old actress - whose breakout role was in Felicity in 1998 - finds it frustrating that people are so focused on appearance but admitted she can't help thinking and talking about it herself too

She told PEOPLE: "It's such a weird thing being a woman. Everyone has an opinion about the way you look, the way you dress, the way your hair is."
"It's just the nature of our society.
"It's something my girlfriends and I talk about all the time. Plastic surgery is having such a moment right now - men, women, 20-year-olds. I mean, it is around. We're inundated with these movie stars. Even though they might be 50 or 60 years old, they look amazing."
Keri is currently starring as U.S. Ambassador Kate Wyler in The Diplomat and loves that her character isn't obsessed with her appearance.
She said: "I find it really enjoyable, I mean, it's like a fun thing to play. I like how cranky she is about it, and how she's always trying to fight people about it, and is rude about it. I love it. I find it delightful.
"I watch this show and I'm like, I do not look like that, you know. I like the way I look on the show, and it's amazing that I feel like that's strange, like that's a unique thing to look like that, but it is."
