Robin Wright's Botox, Divorce Confessions Cause A Stir
Robin Wright of "House of Cards" opened up about her high-profile divorce from Sean Penn as well as her own experience with Botox in a candid interview this week.
The Emmy Award-winning actress is best known for her role in the films "The Princess Bride" and "Forrest Gump," but her latest role in the Netflix web series "House of Cards" has made Wright a household name. While speaking to London's Telegraph recently, the starlet shed light on the "devastating" end of her 14-year marriage to Penn, with whom she shares two children-- a daughter, Dylan Frances and son, Hopper Jack.
"Divorce in and of itself, and with children, is devastating," Wright told the newspaper. "Worse than that. One of the reasons why we got back together and broke up so much was trying to keep the family together."

Despite their efforts to make the marriage work, Wright and Penn divorced in 2010. Today, Wright is engaged to musician Ben Foster, who is a whopping 14 years her junior.
"It's surreal," the actress said of her relationship. The couple announced their engagement in January, and Wright went on to reveal a tattoo on her left ring finger that coordinates with a tattoo of Foster has in the same place "because we're not that traditional."
"Ben and I have a connection between us that just feels right," the actress added. "I don't know any other word for it."
The candid actress also admitted to using Botox in order to prevent the signs of aging during the interview.
"You bet," she said. "Everybody [expletive] does it. I suppose I can't say 'everybody' because I don't know for sure, but come on ..."
The actress explained the different doses available of Botox and her own preference for "the tiniest sprinkle" twice a year.
"I think most women do 10 units, but that freezes the face and you can't move it," Wright reasoned. "This is just one unit, and it's just sprinkled here and there to take the edge off. Perhaps it's not wise to put that in a magazine? But I ain't hiding anything."
Season two of Netflix's hit "House of Cards" premieres online this Friday, Feb. 14. The series also stars Kevin Spacey and Kate Mara, among others. Watch the trailer here.
