Tragic. Why don't famous people realise how much better it looks to age naturally?

    I'm going to play a little devil's advocate, not about the "if they should" but more about how they end up looking unrecognizable.

    I used to be very athletic. Then I got very heavy. Then I went back to athletic, but when I did so I ended up with the Mitch McConnell turkey neck. It was fugly, I'm not going to lie, and it bothered me. I'm also opposed to plastic surgery so I figured that's the way it was going to be. Then I got cancer in my neck. After they cut out the tumor and all other affected tissue, they had to do a bit of reconstruction. Out went the cancer along with the turkey neck and my jaw line is looking like a million bucks. I'm hot again baby!

    And that's the problem. I can see somebody having a positive first experience with reconstructive surgery and assuming that more of it will make it more better. You feel better about yourself and suddenly believe that you can feel better still. You'd be wrong, but I get why you would think that.

    Thanks for the nuanced perspective. What a journey though, you don't often hear about the silver linings of cancer treatment.

    It is such a trap though, crazy to imagine not seeing it.

    It's a trap in the same way drugs can be. When a lot of your friends have had a bit of work done here and there and it looks great on them so you try, and the first few bits look good. But from there it's really easy to go right off the deep end if you're the wrong type of unwell. Just like how in a friend group where everyone smokes a bit of pot from time to time and some people enjoy a line or two at a party, one person who joins the group may find themselves absolutely hooked.

    Actors and media personalities are at high risk for body image issues, and cosmetic surgery is a really dangerous thing for people with such issues. I've known people who got a few cosmetic surgeries and were happy, some are much safer than others for it, but it's so easy for some people to fall into the trap of thinking that every perceived flaw should and can be fixed. Once you're there it's just body dysmorphia, no different from a stereotypical anorexic person, including inability to have a realistic view of one's body.

    "Hollywood" is on it's way out after the big heyday of the last 100 years or so. Everyone has a movie studio in their pocket nowadays and distribution is way easier than it used to be. So age naturally. There are other places to jump and prance than hollywood.

    its hollywood inner circle requirement. you must look 20years younger even if you dont look human anymore.

    the ISAIP people, rob and kaitlyn was so drastic, and they are pretty desperate to stay in hollywood inner circles. rob even started collabing with semi- questionable people, ryan reynolds who himself had plastic surgery. even the fans in the sub are clowning on the appearance.

    Doesn’t look bad per-se, but he definitely doesn’t look like the Jim Carrey everyone pictures in their head anymore. In fact I would 100% not be able to tell you who the person in that second picture is.

    I wonder how much this gimps his iconic ability to crazily distort his face.

    To be fair, the one on the left is probably from years ago. His face immediately before the fillers on the right was much older than the one on the left. Putting those two side-by-side isn’t exactly an honest before-and-after photo.

    Here he is in 2020. He had the surgery sometime 2023 or so, or at least, all the pictures I find post sonic 2 have way different cheeckbones. Also, the news articles about this most recent change say he got his previous stuff touched up (for the worse as seen in OPs post.)

    Nope. He looks too different from his original face for this to have been a good idea. Good plastic surgery hides flaws and itself. This surgery didn't hide nearly enough to be worth the changes he went through. Sucks for him, for sure.

    It's different lighting, different facial expression, different angle and 20 years different. Plus the right image is touched with AI.

    I just don't see the big deal. Every has inflammation. It's a known thing with age. Does he look different? Absolutely. It could be aging as much as fillers. He doesn't look that different to me.

    That's more than filler, you can see his eyes are stretched up a bit. Most likely a face lift of some sort. Scar line could be somewhere above the hairline.

    so the image supplied by OP has my AI senses tingling, at least the part on the right.
    something is off about the glow of the skin and the hairline.
    when searching for the whole image in tineye it does find a lot of instances of the left image.
    when searching for only the right image it doesn’t find any.

    SMm863eK6lKwtFr.jpeg

    while this does not mean a conclusive and definite indication that this is AI, i’m nevertheless doubtful.
    so, @ickplant@lemmy.world , where did you find that image? i feel that while his transformation of his iconic face is already ruinous enough, why would we have to go one step further and display AI altered results?!

    This picture was from the Cesar Awards, which is a film awards thing in France held a few days ago. It's definitely not AI

    thanks a lot, that information was very valuable for the hunt of truth! so at the CΓ©sar award the pictures taken of him are definitely surprising as his normal face is hardly to be recognized:

    OjoNcENpNpEUAk2.jpeg

    EJNsQZyh85N7f3Z.jpeg

    2AHmc1LXXoiyDQs.jpeg

    KNdKOlA0TdqTizc.jpeg

    let’s focus on the last picture: we can see in the background the writing of the award’s ceremony and a screen with a person on it, the subject at hand is wearing a black shirt with a black bow tie.

    uWWKJG2rM4jGRgb.jpeg

    now we’ve got the same image composition of the last one (greenish background, screen with person in the back, head tilt) but he’s no longer wearing a bow tie but a turtle neck. also his eye colour has changed. so these last images are quite safe to be assumed as AI slop.

    this takes us back to the beginning, in the photo composition of this submission Jim Carrey is also wearing a turtle neck, so i think we can also assume by extension that it is part of the same AI slop generated series of images.

    @paranoid@lemmy.world for somebody with that handle, i would have assumed more skepticism ;)

    I approach everything with a healthy amount of skepticism, and alter my stance when presented with evidence.

    If you look up "jim carrey cesar awards speech" on your search engine of choice, you'll see tons of articles about his changed appearance, and can even find his acceptance speech where he does his best speaking French. There was even an article published in the last few hours where he confirmed it was him and not a body double.

    There is no AI or AI slop. But there are changes in lighting and angles, which can have a massive effect on appearances.

    It's the eyes. He doesn't look like himself anymore. This was a mistake, if he did it to get more work. He looks like a generic background character.

    If I were to judge him solely on his looks and nothing else I know about him, the before is way better looking. His unique smile and deceptively kind eyes are way more attractive than...whatever that is he did.

    I have a love hate relationship with getting older. I wish I could look like my prime but there is kinda a niceness with the sorta deep rich look of age. Overall I don't get these cosmetic things because they are just that. cosmetic. Would be great to have something to actually make me more capable.

    Yeah there's definitely a certain facial quality you can only get with natural aging that can look quite good on its own. Not that anyone should feel the need to look good or alter their appearance unless they desire to, but that they should not be afraid of looking old.

    Bruce Carrey.

    I get it, aging sucks, I'm staring down the barrel of 40, and that's just the beginning of the downward trajectory, but I will never philosophically agree with surgical or chemical intervention for aging.

    It is vanity and insecurity masking as self expression.

    What's wrong with vanity? Is this a seven deadly sin kind of thing? Psychologically, there isn't anything bad about being vain, it's a religious problem, ain't it?

    No, it's a problem with modern society lacking any sense of morality, and morals are not about religion. It's a fundamental lack of character and humanity.

    "What's wrong with vanity?" What a stupid question. Your ignorance shows your Americanized ignorance where "the self" has turned toxic.

    The top response in this Reddit post goes over what is wrong with vanity: https://www.reddit.com/r/entj/comments/89qkc0/why_is_vanity_considered_a_bad_quality/.

    My TLDR: You're excessively focused on your yourself, and the opinions and views of others are shallow. You only care about how you are precevied, and will do anything to continued to be precevied a certain way, by any means, leading to compromises.

    Just as being vain can be an excess of self-confidence, being rude can be an excess of being blunt. It would be good not to cross that threshold without a solid purpose. What I'm saying is: this was not a good time to be blunt.
