How Are We to Pay $ for a Renée Zellweger Movie When She No Longer Looks Like Renée Zellweger?

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

I know movie actresses go under the knife for plastic surgery, but the objective is to enhance their appearance, not to look like an entirely different person.

Remember Renée Zellweger?

This is the cute, squinty-eyed, fresh-faced Renée Zellweger we know, in 2008:

This is the most recent photo of Renée Zellweger, 46, taken in London where she’s shooting scenes for the 3rd Bidget Jones movie, Bridget Jones’ Baby:

Unrecognizable.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two Zellwegers, just 7 years apart:

It was last October when Zellweger shocked the world with her new look on the red carpet in Hollywood.

Zellweger dismissed the plastic surgery rumors as “silly,” insisting that she was only wearing a different makeup.

But her appearance on the Bridget Jones movie set reinforces surgeons’ belief that she has permanently altered her appearance with extensive plastic surgery.

Dr. Lyle Back, a New Jersey–based plastic surgeon who has not treated Zellweger said, “She clearly has had extensive work done. But the result is that she’s lost the look that America fell in love with. I see signs of a facelift that has made her face look much less puffy, less rectangular and less tomboyish. Now she’s not the girl that people identify with.” Back said he believes Zellweger also had a nose job and “has had some way overdone lip filler treatments and micro-needling facial treatments.”

While the surgeon feels the work she had done is of high quality, it could play a destructive role in her career. “The goal of plastic surgery is to make you look better — not unrecognizable,” he said. “Bridget Jones is gone forever.”

I recently discovered a sobering pic of Catherine Zeta Jones, who I’d always thought to be stunningly beautiful, before her nose job. Below is a side-by-side comparison. The pre-nose job Zeta Jones looks like a cheap floozy.

Yet another reason we shouldn’t put these make-belief people on pedestals!
