Sarah Michelle Gellar has quipped that she would require "a lot of plastic surgery" to play Buffy again

And with whispers of a revival, the 'Cruel Intentions' star has shed light on whether she would reprise the role, admitting it's likely they would choose someone "younger".

She told WHO magazine: "I would need a lot of plastic surgery because I don't think I look like a teenager (laughs).

I don't know if I would approach playing her any differently really. Buffy is such a beautiful character. That never changes, but I think they will get someone younger if she does come back. But if people think that I can still save the world and kick butt, I'm OK with that!"

Asked where she sees Buffy today, she said: "I'm asked that a lot but I'm still not really sure. I like to think she's living a good life, a peaceful life, without having to do all the slaying she used to. But I'm happy with how we ended things with Buffy. I loved playing her and I feel proud of what she stood for, what she still stands for. She wasn't just the girlfriend or the token female - all things we take for granted in film and television now. I feel like Buffy was a part of that positive change."

The 'Dexter: Original Sin' star - who has two children with husband Freddie Prinze Jr. - has watched back the show with her brood and is very "proud" of the role that transformed her life.

Asked if she ever revisits the programme, she said: "I've watched a few with my kids, yeah.

"They love it. I'm proud to watch it with them. Buffy changed my life. A lot of times when you start a show at a young age, you get stuck, but I didn't have that. Buffy grew - she went to college and then essentially, she became a mother. She was a mother to all the slayers. I never felt like I was trapped because I got to do so much. And then I got to play all these other characters."
