In the celebrity world, plastic surgery is commonplace. From a little Botox there to a nose job there, these famous faces are heading to the best plastic surgeons in the business to change their facial features on a regular basis. However, the likelihood is that they won't tell you about it. But now we're lifting the lid on some of the most heavily guarded secrets in Hollywood, as AI can show us what these celebrities would look like if they hadn't had plastic surgery.
Jocelyn Wildenstein
Although many people know this woman as Jocelyn Wildenstein, she's also been given a few nicknames over the years - including 'The Lion Queen' and 'Catwoman.' The Swiss socialite rose to fame during her high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce from billionaire Alec Wildenstein, but it's her appearance that has really kept her the talk of the town over the years since. After all, it's hard to ignore her cat-like facial features.
However, Jocelyn denies having any plastic surgery - apart from a small procedure to make her eyes look more cat-like. Instead, she credits her look to her Swiss heritage and denies any other enhancements.
Mickey Rourke
The celebrity world is full of women trying to live up to the impossible beauty standards set by the head honchos in Hollywood, but it seems as though men aren't immune from these pressures, either. However, former professional boxer and actor Mickey Rourke claims that he first went down the plastic surgery path after suffering facial injuries in the boxing ring. Unfortunately, he regrets his choice of surgeon, as many of his procedures were botched.
According to Mickey, he's since had to go under the knife numerous times to correct the wrongs his first surgeon created. This has even involved using cartilage from his ear to correct a botched nose job.
Amanda Lepore
American model and singer Amanda Lepore has certainly made her mark on the New York City party scene over the years. Her surgery journey started when she was just 19 years old after she went through gender affirmation surgery. But while that first surgery allowed her to adopt the outward appearance of the woman she always thought she was, it seems as though she's gone under the knife so many other times since then.
From nose jobs to butt implants, Amanda has experimented with so many cosmetic procedures. She's even gone to the extremes to achieve an hourglass figure by having her bottom ribs broken and pushed in.
Donatella Versace
Although Donatella Versace is one of the most important women in the fashion world, that hasn't stopped people from commenting on her appearance. She looks noticeably different from how she did when she was younger - and many refuse to believe that aging is the reason behind this. She's been at the center of many plastic surgery controversies, with many claiming that she's had everything from cheek implants to a nose job and even an eyelid lift.
However, this is all speculation. Donatella has never openly spoken out about her appearance and has steered clear of conversations around beauty, which makes her changing look even more intriguing to onlookers.
Cher
At 77 years old, there's no doubt about the fact that Cher looks good for her age. But while the pop icon has often been celebrated as a natural beauty, what you might not realize is that she's actually been very forthcoming with her plastic surgery procedures. In fact, she's become somewhat of an unofficial spokesperson for this realm of the celebrity world. She's had so many procedures, after all.
From facelifts to botched breast augmentations, Cher has often spoken out about how she went through these procedures for herself rather than societal pressures. In her eyes, if she wants to do something, she's going to do it - regardless of what people think.
Madonna
The Queen of Pop, Madonna, has been at the center of countless plastic surgery rumors over the course of her career. While she was credited as a natural beauty during her early days, many have questioned whether she later turned to plastic surgery in an attempt to maintain a youthful appearance. But while Madonna failed to comment on these rumors for years, she finally admitted to some kind of plastic surgery in February 2023.
On social media, she wrote, 'Look how cute I am now that swelling from surgery has gone down. Lol.' She didn't go into any further details, so it's still not known what kind of surgery she had.
Dolly Parton
The Queen of Country Music has always wowed fans with her country-girl aesthetic. From her big, blonde hair to her tiny waist and her curves, she's oozed country glamour since she first made her way into the limelight. But Dolly hasn't shied away from the fact that plastic surgery has helped her maintain her legendary look. In fact, the musical icon has confessed that she will do anything to maintain her youthful appearance.
Dolly sees plastic surgery as self-empowerment and believes that everyone has their own idea of what beauty means to them. And she's pretty happy with how she looks now - and we don't blame her!
Priscilla Presley
Priscilla Presley first made her way into the limelight when she was just a teenager after her relationship and subsequent marriage to Elvis Presley made her the envy of women across the globe. Now, at 76 years old, her facial features have changed somewhat. And while this could be down to aging, there are many out there who believe that Priscilla has gone under the knife a few times over the years.
Apparently, Priscilla has had plastic surgery - but it hasn't always gone well. It's been noted that she's had to undergo numerous corrective surgeries after the first procedures were botched.
Daryl Hannah
American actress Daryl Hannah certainly has an impressive career under her belt. But over the past few years, talk about her movies has been replaced by talk about her potential plastic surgery procedures. Many have speculated that her facial features look very different now that she's getting older, and it's been suggested that her changing appearance is the result of going under the knife. But what has she said about the claims?
Well, she hasn't said anything. Daryl has refused to comment on anything in regard to her appearance, so it's not known whether she has had plastic surgery or not. However, professional plastic surgeons have weighed in themselves, stating that they believe she has.
Jessica Lange
Known for some of the best performances in Hollywood history, Jessica Lange is the kind of actress who can turn her hand to any project or any character. Because of this, she has a huge fan base of adoring people who love everything about her. But it seems as though even the most devout fans can't deny that she looks incredibly good for a 74-year-old. So, what's her big secret?
Jessica claims to be all-natural, having denied having any plastic surgery procedures done over the years. That's certainly impressive - and we bet there are so many women out there who'd love to know her age-defying routine!
Gretchen
The major talking point when it comes to Brazilian singer Gretchen is the fact that she has joined the likes of Madonna, Adele, Elvis, and Prince by having a singular stage name. But talk around Gretchen's changing facial features has also heated up over the past few years - especially as she's started to talk openly about the plastic surgery procedures she has undergone and plans to undergo in the future.
Gretchen confirmed that she underwent facial harmonization, which focuses on shaping and changing all of the facial features at once. She also has plans to change her lips and mouth over the next few years.
Melanie Griffith
We love it when celebrities speak openly and honestly about beauty standards in Hollywood and how that impacts their decision to have plastic surgery - and Melanie Griffith is one of those celebrities. She has spoken candidly about how the pressures of Hollywood have led her to the plastic surgeon's office on numerous occasions, even though she hasn't always been happy with how she's looked by the time those procedures have healed.
Unfortunately, Melanie has even claimed that she often didn't realize her plastic surgery procedures had been botched until people started questioning her strange and unusual appearance. Now, it seems as though she regrets some of her choices.
Carla Bruni
if you're not sure who Carla Bruni is, it's fair to say that this woman has lived a very fascinating life. Not only did she rise to fame as a singer-songwriter, but she was also the former First Lady of France. But while many people have celebrated her youthful appearance over the years, it seems as though many have questioned whether it's all-natural, or whether plastic surgery has played a part.
Many have wondered whether she's had a facelift and fillers, but it's unlikely that we'll ever know. Carla has kept schtum when it comes to answering these questions, and it seems as though she doesn't want to confirm or deny anything.
Britney Spears
As Britney Spears has been in the spotlight since she was a child, fans have had the chance to follow her changing appearance. But this has also given them the chance to critique it - which doesn't help the strict Hollywood beauty standards. And while Britney was always considered to be a natural beauty, she admitted in 2013 that she had undergone some plastic surgery on her face. In fact, she admitted to having lip injections.
Since then, it's been alleged that Britney has had even more plastic surgery. But in 2023 she stated that she was "finally done with Botox" and would be embracing the natural aging process.
Joan Van Ark
American actress Joan Van Ark has a fairly successful career under her belt, and while so many people talk about the fact that she was named after the famous Joan of Arc, it seems as though more and more people are talking about her facial features, too. Over the years, her appearance has come under fire, with many people questioning how she has such smooth skin and a lack of wrinkles at 80 years old.
Although Joan has never spoken publicly about her appearance or her youthful appearance, professionals strongly suggest that she's had a facelift or two and that she's a regular user of Botox.
Barry Manilow
With songs such as "Looks Like We Made It," "Could It Be Magic," and "Copacabana (At the Copa)" under his belt, Barry Manilow will go down in history as one of the best singer-songwriters of all time. But while many people have lots to say about his songs and his performances, it seems as though more and more people are starting to question his youthful appearance, too. Especially as he's now 80 years old.
Although Barry claims that his youthful appearance is down to eating healthily and exercising on a regular basis, some critics aren't convinced by his claims. They believe that his changing facial features are a result of plastic surgery.
Demi Moore
It seems as though most celebrities can't be interviewed without being asked questions about their appearance, and Demi Moore has grown a little frustrated about this over the years. During one interview with Elle magazine, she expressed her annoyance over people constantly questioning her appearance - but she did admit to having plastic surgery, too. She admitted to having "something done," but she also maintained that it was "not on her face."
She also stated that if she wanted to have more plastic surgery procedures in the future, she would be happy to do so. In her eyes, it's her personal choice to do whatever she wants with her body.
Lisa Rinna
Although the actress and former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills is known for her acting and reality show career, there's no doubt about the fact that Lisa Rinna is also known for two other things: her haircut and her lips. She's confirmed that her big lips are the result of permanent silicone lip fillers that were inserted when she was 24 years old, and that they "have a career of their own."
Although she's been criticized for her large lips over the years, it seems as though Rinna doesn't care. She likes her appearance, and she made the decision to help improve her career - and they certainly did that.
Courteney Cox
When you watch the very first episode of Friends, it's fair to see that Courteney Cox looks very different today. This was visibly noticeable a few years ago when she introduced a whole new look to the world. And while she had probably paid a lot of money for plastic surgery, her appearance was not well-received. It seems as though she didn't like the look of these fillers, either, which is why she later confirmed that she got the procedures reversed.
Courteney dissolved all of the fillers in her face to make her look like her normal self again, and she admitted that she much preferred the natural look to the plastic look.
Simon Cowell
It's refreshing to hear men talk so openly about how plastic surgery has impacted their lives, which is why we commend Simon for talking about his experiences - even though they weren't very pleasant. In fact, you might remember the time when Simon debuted a very new look. His facial features looked completely different and he was a shell of his former self, and that was all down to facial fillers. However, Simon knew almost immediately that he'd taken this procedure too far.
When he looked at old pictures of himself, he barely recognized the man he was after the procedures. So, he got the fillers dissolved and is now embracing the natural signs of aging instead.
Gwyneth Paltrow
At 51 years old, it's no secret that Gwyneth Paltrow looks better than ever. The actress seems to have taken a break from movie sets to focus on her health and wellness brand, and this seems to have had a positive effect on her appearance. And while Gwyneth has previously stated that she's scared of going under the knife and undergoing any plastic surgery procedure, many people have questioned her distinct lack of wrinkles.
Gwyneth has reportedly had Botox in the past, but she's stated that now everything is natural and down to a balanced and healthy lifestyle. So, we want whatever Gwyneth is having.
Nicole Kidman
In a world where plastic surgery procedures are extremely common, celebrities can't step out of the house without being bombarded with questions. And while Nicole Kidman has admitted to having non-invasive procedures such as Botox in the past, she's claimed that she's largely been a natural beauty for much of her life. However, some fans find this hard to believe, as her forehead is almost wrinkle-free for someone that's almost 60 years old.
Of course, Nicole just might have the right makeup artists and hairstylists around her. But it seems as though she's not going to get rid of these questions anytime soon.
Al Pacino
Al Pacino is one of the most famous men in Hollywood, and it's fair to say that most people know him for his role in the iconic movie The Godfather. But anyone who has seen these movies will know that this man looks very different from the man we see on red carpets today. In fact, the man we see today looks incredibly polished and youthful, which has led many to believe that he's had plastic surgery.
It's suggested that Pacino has had a facelift and had Botox. But as you can probably imagine, the actor has never spoken publicly about these claims, and probably never will.
Jennifer Grey
We all know that nobody puts Baby in the corner, but what do we do when Baby looks very different from how she did when she was younger? While there's no doubt that Jennifer Grey has aged gracefully, the actress has admitted to having plastic surgery in the past. In fact, she's revealed that she had a nose job to please her mother - but she wasn't pleased with the results as she no longer looked by herself.
She believes that her nose job had such an effect on her self-esteem that it ultimately impacted her career and made her shy away from the spotlight. And it's candid stories like this that worry for other celebrities.
La Toya Jackson
It's fair to say that the Jackson family has long been linked to the plastic surgery world. Michael Jackson made no secret of the fact that he underwent multiple procedures over the course of his life, and it's been suggested that his sister La Toya has followed suit. After all, fans have been quick to notice that her nose has gotten considerably smaller over the years - and many put that down to surgery.
However, the rumors around her apparent surgeries are just rumors, as La Toya has never publicly spoken out about her changing facial features or her changing appearance. So, it's still just speculation.
Wayne Newton
At 81 years old, there's no doubt about the fact that Wayne Newton doesn't look his age. His face is perfectly smooth, his eyes are wide and not lidded in the slightest, and his teeth are as white as can be. Of course, this has led many people to believe that he's fallen into the rabbit hole of plastic surgery, with many questioning whether he's had facelifts and fillers over the years.
But the singer and actor has never publicly addressed the questions around his appearance, which means that we'll still never know for certain whether he's gone under the knife or not.
Sharon Osbourne
Fans have always loved Sharon Osbourne's rock and roll look, and her red hair has become legendary over the years. But as she's gotten older, many people have questioned her appearance, with many wondering whether she's succumbed to plastic surgery. Amazingly, Sharon hasn't shied away from these questions, and has confirmed that she has gone under the knife on numerous occasions keep up with the ever-changing beauty standards of Hollywood.
But while she has been happy with some of her procedures, Sharon has also spoken candidly about how some procedures don't look the way they were supposed to. So, the plastic surgery world has its ups and downs.
Hector Elizondo
At almost 90 years old, Hector Elizondo certainly looks good for his age. You'd think that decades of working in the entertainment business would make him look tired and old, but he looks the complete opposite. This has led to rumors about his age-defying qualities, with many suggesting that the talented actor has turned to cosmetic procedures to make him look much younger than he actually is. But has he done that?
The actor hasn't confirmed or denied any involvement with any plastic surgeons in Hollywood. And as these guys are probably up to their eyeballs in NDAs and patient-confidentiality agreements, we guess we'll never know, either.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Michelle Pfeiffer may be over six decades old, but she certainly doesn't look it. The actress is still regarded today as one of the most attractive women in Hollywood, and her age-defying qualities have certainly helped her in that regard. But what's her secret? Well, some have speculated that her secrets lie with her plastic surgeons, and many think that she's gone under the knife to have some tweakments here and there.
Michelle can understand why people would think so, but it seems as though she's against plastic surgery - especially when celebrities feel as though they are pressured by society to get it. Instead, she credits her youthful look to her healthy lifestyle.
Pamela Anderson
Many of the celebrities on this list are primarily famous for their looks, and there's no doubt about the fact that this is the case for Pamela Anderson. Although she's impressed the world with her acting talent, it's her appearance that really thrust the former Playboy model into the spotlight. And it might not come as a surprise to learn that Pamela Anderson has undergone many plastic surgical procedures over the years.
While her breast augmentation is common knowledge, everything else is speculation. However, Pamela is now embracing a natural look and has even had her breast implants removed in order to age in a natural way.
Christie Brinkley
American model Christie Brinkley may be almost 70 years old, but she looks just like she did in her modeling heyday. And while some would like to believe that she's simply aged gracefully, Christie herself has acknowledged that her youthful appearance is down to some minor procedures here and there. Although she hasn't undergone invasive surgeries, she is a huge fan of Ultherapy - a noninvasive treatment that tightens the neck to combat sagging and loose skin.
It's also believed that Brinkley is a huge fan of Botox, which is why her skin looks so smooth and wrinkle-free despite her age. Yes, she looks stunning for her age.
Portia De Rossi
As well as being an actress in her own right, Portia de Rossi is perhaps best known for being married to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. But those who have been fans of this woman for years will know that her look has undoubtedly changed over the years. In fact, when Arrested Development came back onto our screens for the fourth time, all anyone could talk about was her rather different appearance.
Portia hasn't spoken out about this publicly, so it's not known for sure whether she's gone under the knife or not. However, some plastic surgeons believe she's had at least one nose job.
Diana Ross
You probably don't need us to tell you that Diana Ross is a living legend. The singer has been in the limelight for decades, and during that time we've seen her grow and change as a person. But while her career has continued to thrive, some fans couldn't help but notice that she seems to be looking younger each year - rather than looking older. Of course, we know that this kind of age-defying wizardry isn't natural.
Although Ross hasn't commented on plastic surgery procedures she may or may not have done, rumors suggest that she's had Botox and a facelift, and other rumors even hint towards an eye lift, too.
Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep is timeless in so many different ways. She seems to be getting better and better with age, and it doesn't seem like the world is going to fall out of love with her anytime soon. But one thing we can all agree on is the fact that this woman also seems to be getting younger and younger every year. Of course, this has led many to speculate that she's been under the knife.
However, Meryl has been very outspoken about her opposition to plastic surgery. She's vowed to stay away from it and instead credits her impressive looks to her incredibly healthy lifestyle.
Rita Moreno
At 91 years old, it's safe to say that Rita Moreno has lived an impressive life. From her roles on Broadway to her stint on the big screen, she's still going strong today. But after such a busy life, some fans can't help but question how she still looks so young. Surely that can't all be thanks to makeup and a flattering hairstyle? Well, Rita has denied any claims of plastic surgery.
Instead, she has credited her wrinkle-free skin to a lengthy skincare and cleansing routine, as well as a healthy diet and regular exercise. If that's the case then good for her!
Julie Andrews
You probably don't need us to tell you that Julie Andrews is an incredibly famous individual. She can sing, she can dance, and she's the ultimate triple threat. And while she's now almost 90 years old, she's still just as famous as she once was. Every time she's spotted out in public, fans remark about how good she looks. But is that down to good genes, or maybe something more?
Julie Andrews has apparently vowed to age gracefully, refusing any form of plastic surgery over the years. And while there's no doubt that she's stunning, there are visible wrinkles there - so we can believe that.
Morgan Freeman
We don't know what we love most about Morgan Freeman: his acting talent or his voice! Nevertheless, this man has been a huge face in Hollywood for decades, and he's still going strong at 86 years old. But while his hair has certainly changed color over the course of his career, many people have wondered how the octogenarian has managed to stay so young-looking. Well, it turns out that Morgan has had cosmetic surgery in the past.
It's not the kind of surgery you might be thinking of, though. Morgan decided to have dental surgery fairly early on in his career. He believed that he had wonky teeth, so he had elective surgery to straighten out his smile.
Jackie Chan
Would you believe that Jackie Chan is 69 years old? This famous actor and martial artist doesn't look a day over 40, which is why it's understandable that fans have questioned his stance on plastic surgery over the years. Of course, we have no doubts that his healthy and active lifestyle has contributed to his youthful looks, but it's also been highly speculated that this age-defying appearance is also down to plastic surgery.
It's never been confirmed, but it's been rumored that Jackie underwent double eyelid surgery at some point in his career. This plastic surgical procedure is particularly common in the Asian community.
