Jennifer Aniston turned out at the Emmy FYC event for her acclaimed drama, The Morning Show, this past weekend, and her look was undeniably captivating.
But while many agreed that the actress looked nothing short of stunning in a sleeveless, deep red dress, complemented by a matching ruby pendant, there were other question marks that arose regarding her appearance. Namely, what sort of plastic surgery (if any) she has undergone in recent months.
The 55-year-old plays TV anchor Alex Levy on The Morning Show, and the Apple TV+ series has proven wildly popular.
The show’s success – coupled, of course, with Aniston’s iconic past as a star on arguably the most successful sitcom of all time, Friends – has seen her reputation surge in recent years. Aniston has never really experienced a ‘dip’ in her career, but her stock has certainly enjoyed a revival since The Morning Show first aired.
Indeed, for anyone old enough to have lived through the era of Friends, it’s almost strange to accept that in five years time, Aniston will be 60 years old.

Or can they?
Well, it’s certainly not something the majority of them readily embrace. Quite the opposite in fact: those with inexhaustible bank accounts tend to doggedly fight the aging process – at least in so far as appearance is concerned – undergoing operations and treatments in a bid to keep themselves looking as young as possible.
Incidentally, Jennifer Aniston was reportedly seen leaving a well-known plastic surgery clinic in Connecticut only a few months ago, prompting speculation that she had gone under the knife.
The clinic in question, The Retreat At Split Rock, is said to specialize in expert upper and lower face lifts, costing around $50,000 to $100,000 each, as well as brow and eye lifts that cost around $30,000 each.
It hasn’t been officially confirmed whether or not Aniston underwent treatment – let’s be honest, which celebrities are completely open and honest about this sort of stuff? – but there are clearly a fair few people online who suspect her look isn’t one hundred percent natural.
Following her appearance at the aforementioned Emmy FYC in New York on Sunday, certain individuals couldn’t resist themselves in pointing out that she looked different to usual.
“What has she done to her face?’’ one wrote in the comments section of a Daily Mail article.
A second added: “Jen is desperately trying to hold on to her old Friends looks. It can’t happen, she is much older now […]’’
“Her face looks weird because of all the work she has had done. She would have looked better with less,” opined a third.
Kelly McGillis: The Journey of an Icon
While Tom Cruise’s character in the beloved movie Top Gun achieved great success, Kelly McGillis, the actress who played his love interest, chose a different course. Even though she may seem different now that she is 65 years old, her influence on the industry and her life story are astounding. Let’s explore this amazing actress’s life narrative.
Memorable Chemistry
My head was filled with images of Kelly McGillis’s portrayal of Charlie as I watched Top Gun: Maverick in the theater. Despite her absence from the follow-up, her on-screen chemistry with Tom Cruise will always hold a special place in our hearts. She was surprisingly passed over for the sequel’s cast, and when questioned about it, she answered happily, saying that she would prefer to be comfortable in her own skin than pursue ephemeral celebrity.
The Pioneer Ahead of the Persona
Charlie, played by McGillis in Top Gun, was a revolutionary character. She was one of the few actresses in the 1980s who could earn multimillion-dollar rates. Her astrophysicist and training school instructor role enthralled viewers with her beauty and knowledge. It turns out that civilian flying instructor and mathematician Christine Fox served as the model for Charlie. The portrayal of this legendary woman by McGillis was lifelike.
Outside of Hollywood Life
Kelly McGillis’s professional life continued after Top Gun. She kept becoming well-known by appearing in movies such as Witness and The Accused. But eventually, she made the decision to give other facets of her life more importance. She cut her hair, started a family, and put her attention on the things that really meant to her in order to break away from the confines of Tinseltown. She had moved past the expectations of Hollywood.
Taking Up Genuineness
McGillis had no qualms about defying convention and going her own way. She talked candidly about her choice to live an authentic life and raise her girls by stepping back from the spotlight. Her emphasis on the value of recovering one’s identity and discovering true happiness struck a chord with a lot of people. Her experience served as a reminder that happiness cannot be found through celebrity or approval from others.
Individual Achievements and Challenges
Kelly McGillis found her authentic self throughout personal struggles. She came out as a lesbian after her husband and she got divorced. She admitted that since her adolescence, she had been on a continuous path of self-acceptance. She persevered in navigating life with an open heart and resilience in the face of challenges along the way.
A Meaningful Life
Kelly McGillis is currently living far away from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in a log home in North Carolina. She loves the way she looks and doesn’t want to change to fit in with society’s ideals of beauty. Rather, she devotes her time to imparting acting skills to others, sharing her expertise and understanding. Her commitment to live a true life and putting her family first is wonderful.
A Durable Heritage
Kelly McGillis may not be in the public eye anymore, but her influence on our lives will always be felt. Her performance in Top Gun as the sultry astrophysics engineer left a lasting impression on us. Her elegance and attractiveness extended beyond the screen. Her choice to leave the industry and put her family and well-being first is incredibly admirable. Let’s honor her voyage and tell others about her experience.
For those of us who saw Kelly McGillis’ talent, she will always remain an icon. Her dedication to her family and self-care is greater than any character she has ever taken on.
