English Patient stars turn back time

DAME Kristin Scott Thomas and French actress Juliette Binoche were reunited this week 21 years after doing the awards rounds for 1996’s Oscar-winning The English Patient.

Sitting next to each other at the Giorgio Armani show in Paris, Kristin, 58, and Juliette, 54, dazzled the fashion crowd with their age-defying looks. Brought up in Dorset and then London before moving to the French capital at the age of 19, Dame Kristin admits she prefers ageing naturally. ‘I used to have Botox on my frown lines,’ she says.‘I decided to stopp because from a certain age it becomes ridiculous not to have wrinkles.’
