If you’re a female celebrity over 40, you simply cannot win.
If you eschew plastic surgery, you look haggard, and probably won’t get as much work. And if you do have some ‘work’, you’re criticised and mocked for doing so.
Take Renee Zellweger for example. The 44-year-old recently appeared at an event – the interestingly titled: Painted Turtle Presents A Starry Evening of Music in San Francisco – with a notably more youthful appearance. In fact, she looks younger than she did when she was young.
Cue the mocking. “She looks like a love child of Jennifer Lawrence and Hilary Clinton,” says one entertainment writer.
In fact, Google “Renee Zwellweger face” and you’ll get over six million hits. Mostly because an open discussion about her face isn’t a strictly new topic. The actress made headlines in November 2013, when plastic surgery rumours were rife due to her rather started wide-eyed appearance at a series of red carpet events. She hasn’t appeared at a public event since. And we don’t blame her.

Look, you can be hapy and healthy and still make weird body modifications when you have the budget of an A-list movie star. Real life isn't the Sims, where you can try out different shapes of the face, then click the back button if you don't like it. She could also be happy with her work, it is a well-done face, and it looks good. What is weird is that it barely looks like her before, but it is not unhealthy to be ok with that whether is was a mistake or fully purposeful. It is not piteous that humans can change their look, it is fundamental in our nature... could you imagine the way we'd construct beauty if we had no technology to produce beauty products like makeup and razors? And if people can change their gender, why not their face? Her face is not a favor to us, it's HER face.
Her eyes look completely different. I am having a hard time believing a happy healthy life style made her look like a completely different human. I'm not slamming her, she looks beautiful. She just looks different.
