That's not a real photo though, at best it's Photoshop, but more likely AI slop.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Is this AI generated? She does not look like that.

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 48 minutes ago

Liar! Her 2 months ago

[–] Crostro@lemmy.world 1 points 55 minutes ago

I mean, accepting you're aging with grace is way better than publicly displaying you're actively fighting a losing battle. We have not made strides so great with medical procedures that you can't tell you've had alterations done. Get enough of them and you look like a lizard person. She absolutely owned her beauty when it was external, now is the time to show the character behind the skin is worth knowing. She's doing that with statements like this imo. But I don't know if that's worth anything.

There's something about Amy. Or Happy Gilmore or something.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah I agree but I'd rather see neither. Aging gracefully is better than plastic surgery but I hope anti-aging geroscience develops significantly within the next decade so that I can essentially perpetually look 30 or so and feel 25.

Hope its not a pipedream. It might be though.

Meanwhile at the other end of the spectrum:

Whoa, I didn't know a new Laura Loomer photo dropped...

[–] Tore@piefed.world 2 points 10 hours ago

That's Simon Cowell!

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 24 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Even in this image, which has probably been manipulated to make her look older, she still seems to have aged better than the distorted faces of some others who probably spent hundreds of thousands on cosmetic surgery. She's about the same age as Bezos' wife for a point of comparison.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

My theory is that ~~like in many areas of their life~~ celebrities lack foresight about their facial features. Plastic surgery does not change to accommodate their aging face like their natural skin would.

the wife looks like an alien, with that freakish large smile.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 190 points 1 day ago (7 children)

This is very obviously aged-up. Cameron Diaz is 53 not 73.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago

Cameron Diaz claps back at trolls as she welcomes baby at 53

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

She's dating Fred Durst?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

So the OP goes against her wishes and is showing a face that doesn’t belong to her?

Jokes aside OP is then an unlabeled manipulated photo which a person won’t catch unless they know Ms. Diaz. This is bad and we can’t stand for it.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

And she looks great.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 120 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You are correct. It is aged up.

A different photo from the same shoot:

Gotta make sure women know that they’re considered ugly when they age /s

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

I was gonna say this looks older than it should

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is a refreshingly good and healthy view from a celebrity.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (3 children)

This quote has to be bullshit. Cameron Diaz had a lot of work done and has been open about regretting that. It's too late now tho, her face is all plastic and will never look normal again.

Edit:

Looked it up, not bullshit, she actually said it. 20/20 hindsight...

[–] stray@pawb.social 2 points 2 hours ago

While I agree that it's terrible that people feel pressured to get surgeries they regret, I don't agree with using that kind of shaming language. Just let people be.

[–] velma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Almost like it’s incredibly hard to not succumb to societal pressures of anti-aging especially when you’re in the public.

[–] velma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

Hahahaha yeah yeah, you first, my dude. I'm sure you've never done ANYTHING that you regretted or was influenced by outside pressures.

I'm just so thrilled that all the Lemmy users here are making fun of a woman's face. It's such a good use of your time and energy.

Certainly choosing to be respectful of how another person looks would be doing the hard thing?

[–] mrbutterscotch@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

No one in this comment thread you're replying to is making fun of her though? It's just sad.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I think there is value in agressively spreading anti-anti-aging messaging, but yeah you have to be careful about the people you're talkingg about while doing it.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I get you, however people can change their minds. Per your comment, she regrets the work she had done. Perhaps she’s saying this now because of what she went through, and not only follows what she now believes but also hopes to inspire others before they make the same mistake.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

she probably sees in all the hollywood women who has plastic surgery and botox, they had to keep up the looks or else they dont get cast in any roles in hollywood. also botox causes atrophy so people are addicted to getting more.

if anyone watches ISAIP show you can see the drastic changes with rob and kaitlyn in the show from 1 season to another.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Aaah mannnnnn don’t get me started on Kaitlyn’s plastic surgery, and of course Rob’s bothers me too. Funnily enough Glen’s doesn’t bother me because well…Dennis. He’s all about demonstrating that value.

Luckily, I’ve noticed in the last couple of seasons it appears they’ve all either stopped or cut way down on the work they’ve been getting. IMO it was incredibly distracting and super unrealistic for the characters they play on the show. IMO again, I think it would have been super funny and easy to write in the work they’ve had done into the show, esp since they’ve been leaning quite hard into physical cringe/discomfort humor.

Interesting what you said about pressure to look good in Hollywood, as IIRC Kaitlyn did mention this in an interview a while back.
