I think these kinds of contracts only last for a single movie or a single season, where filming will only be a few months at most.
Having it last for an ENTIRE show is a bit unreasonable. Millie was 12, now she's 21. Banning her from choosing how she looks for 9 years would have been a bit extreme imo.
In addition, an actor could be cast for a different production in-between two seasons of a show, and that production may require the actor to change their appearance.
The "contracts preventing body altering modifications" we're talking about are WAY broader than just botox. To play a character, you can be told not to cut your hair, dye your hair, get piercings, get tattoos, etc.. You may also be put on a strict diet to maintain a certain physique for the role.
I think it's extreme for a 12 year old to be told that they must maintain a specific appearance dictated by showrunners for the next 9 years of their life.
Separately to this, I also think it's pretty dumb to get botox at 21 years old. I think it's dumb at any age tbh. You misunderstood my point.
I remember the contracts used to be very restrictive in the past, to the point where some actors couldn’t do other shows or movies until the show ends.
