Movie veteran George Hamilton is calming fears over stem-cell injections he receives to keep his tanned skin youthful - insisting human embryos are not involved in the controversial procedure.

The 70-year-old star is famous for his year-round bronzed complexion and admits he regularly gets the injections to avoid a shriveled look.

However, Hamilton insists his ethics should not be questioned - because doctors merely plump his face with his own fat cells.

He tells the New York Daily News, "You don't have to get it from embryos. You can get it from your own fat."
