There’s just something creepy about him. Face looks like it’s plastic - as much as, if not more than, the figure on the right.

Jared has always looked plastic, at least to me.

The more I look at him, the more I see plastic surgery.

He’s at least had an eyebrow lift.

And also, Botox.

And maybe a little filler in the lips?

Having covered Hollywood for most of my career, I’ve seen lots of celebs whose faces have almost literally stopped moving. Their smiles become more rigid (to avoid laugh lines). I remember even as a kid, reading a profile of Gina Lollobrigida and noting the passage “she barely (or hardly) smiles” in an effort to avoid wrinkles.

Later on, we’d go cover the annual American Film Institute tributes to some distinguished Hollywood elder, and the arrivals provoked an ongoing under-the-breath count of facelifts, boob jobs, neck jobs, eyelifts, brow lifts, hair transplants, Botox everywhere, and collagen lips, injected fillers in the cheeks, under the lower eyelids, and more.

Your looks are your livelihood with these actors. It’s like getting on a merry-go-round that starts rotating faster and faster.

Best to be able to age like nature intended. You really can’t fight it or hold it off. It will beat you.

She was a civilian. The trades referred to her as a “nonpro” - not an actor, not a public persona but married to one (Walter Matthau). By the time I was covering these things she and her husband were older. And she’d had so much work done over the years to try to stay young-looking that, by then, she had virtually no face. No features. Flat except for the nose. She’d turned herself into a gargoyle. It was as though somebody’s ironed it or something.

The really sad part was that, if you looked back thru the research, you’d see that she had originally been quite lovely. She was a very attractive woman when she was younger. Doomed in later days to live behind that horror mask of a face in a lifelong attempt to look good on her husband’s arm. And all she wanted was to look good for him and this public image.

Remember when Ivana Trump made the cover of Vogue magazine after the donald had cast her aside for the younger fresher-faced blonde (Marla Maples) in a VERY public divorce? She disappeared, had some work done, and emerged in public again with a spectacular (and fresher-faced) makeover and hairstyle. And she looked fabulous! For a few years. Two or three. But time always has the last word.

As the years passed, those carefully doctored revisions started to lose their grip. As is ALWAYS the case. The years, and gravity, have NO mercy. And the really sad part is what starts to happen as they take effect around, across, through, and DESPITE the surgeon’s skills. And Ivana could afford the best. So can most of Hollywood. But after awhile you need more that a little tweak here and a little tweak there to maintain your looks.

Mostly women but men, too. And if you look carefully, you can see it. Watch Tom “no longer the hot male ingenue” Cruise now, for example.

It’s sad what these folks feel compelled to do to keep their careers and their images going. And once you get started, you’re on that treadmill til the end.

Kenny Rogers used to live in my town, when he was married to Marianne Rogers, a former Hee Haw Honey, who was from this area. Kenny Rogers was a good looking man, who, like Burt Reynolds, got plastic surgery and ruined his looks.

I shall have to be content with my own original face, and that’s a good thing.

Edit: Marla Maples, originally from Dalton, GA, still looks like she’s not had much work done, although she may have had some work.

He was a thinner guy to begin with, so a shift of ten pounds would be very noticeable in his face. The dimples disappear, the eyes become sunken and hollow, his pallor changes, etc.

He looks unhealthy, to be honest. Stress of the job? Lifestyle choice? No idea. He wasn't bad looking at all some years back. He even had a decent bit of muscle mass. But over time, he looks like he's wasting. His visage has become positively waxen. I always wondered what was up with him. We know she had a lot done. Maybe she got him into it? Useless to speculate. But he was fairly normal looking at the beginning of that marriage.

Woodward is rolling these quotes out a few a week for maximum damage and media exposure and I am all for it! Public attention span is too short no matter how damaging the revelations just keep the truth dripping for 7 more weeks.
