Celebrities’ changing looks and the buzz around plastic surgery have always been among the most widely discussed topics in Hollywood. While social media users can now share their opinions easily in the comments, earlier, whenever a celebrity showed even a slight change in their looks, it instantly made its way to the headlines. The plastic surgery gossip in Hollywood dates back to the 1920s, and it has been a constant topic of discussion even today.
Renée Zellweger sparked plastic surgery buzz after her 2014 public appearance during hiatus
When social media was less widespread in the early 2010s, several celebrities sparked discussion about their changed looks, whether from ageing, makeup, or surgery. The public scrutiny list also includes actress Renée Zellweger. It was in 2014 that Renée Zellweger sparked a massive buzz about her ‘changed’ looks. During that time, she was on a break from her acting career.
The actress attended an event for ELLE, and no sooner did the photos from the same event make the rounds than speculation began. Rumours started that Renée might have undergone surgery, as she looked ‘unrecognizable’, with alleged changes mainly around her eyes and forehead. The buzz grew so intense that she had to come forward and set the record straight.
Did Renée Zellweger actually alter her face? She revealed the truth
In an interview with PEOPLE, Renée revealed that she found the chatter surrounding her look to be ‘silly’. She went on to add that she is glad that others feel she looks different, which, according to her, was possibly a reflection of her living a better life. Sharing more about the same, Renée said:
“It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door. I’m glad folks think I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows.”
In the same interview, Renée Zellweger said she was living a healthier life during her break. According to the actress, her friends felt that she looked happier and more peaceful during that time. Renée mentioned that the reason was that she worked nonstop and didn’t allow herself to rest. Instead of stopping for a while, she kept running and eventually made bad choices to hide her exhaustion.
The good thing is Renée was aware of the chaos she was dealing with, and she finally made a good choice. She stated that it’s natural for others to look different with their age, and she is no exception.
According to her, scrutiny over a woman’s appearance is ‘sexist’. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2016, the actress questioned the dual standards, asking why beauty is valued more than contribution when the conversation is about a woman, not a man.
Later that year, Renée penned an op-ed for The Huffington Post, denying rumours that she had gone under the knife. The actress said that while this is nobody’s business, she hadn’t altered her face through surgery. Sharing more about the same, Renée wrote:
“Not that it’s anyone’s business, but I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes. This fact is of no true import to anyone at all.”
According to Renée, nothing can set the perspective right the way ‘international humiliation’ does. Following the extensive conversation about her plastic surgery, she, while speaking to New York Magazine once, said that she got hired in her blue jeans and cowboy boots with messy hair, and she started working like that. Renée never had to change for work, and she said she would never try to fit into a mould that wasn’t hers.
