Fans have criticized Jennifer Aniston’s appearance, noting that she looks remarkably different from her past self. Many believe that the Hollywood star’s altered look is due to alleged cosmetic procedures. AI-generated images reveal what her natural appearance might have been today.

Revered actress Jennifer Aniston, best known for her iconic roles in “Friends,” “Horrible Bosses,” and “Marley & Me,” has been a hot topic in the public eye for a long time. Her professional and personal lives have garnered a lot of attention, especially concerning her appearance.

In the past, upon reading about the star in the news or seeing pictures of her at industry events, many people have expressed that Aniston’s physical features have changed over time. They believe she has gotten so much facial work done that they can hardly recognize her anymore.
Social media users had a lot to say about this, with one comment from 2022 reading, “I see she started the botox on her face. It doesn’t even look like Jennifer Aniston anymore. Such a disappointment. Why can’t women age and just love themselves [?] Or use natural remedies for aging like essential oils 🤷🏽♀️”

“Watching live from the studio audience ABC special and all I can think about is how odd Jennifer [Aniston’s] face looks here. Just too much Botox or something,” wrote another user in 2021.

Similarly, having watched Aniston’s series “The Morning Show,” an X user stated, “Jennifer Aniston’s face is loaded with botox. There’s so many scenes where she’s trying to convey an emotion, but her face won’t move, just the eyes. #TheMorningShow.”
Another comment made earlier this year echoed the same sentiment and included a close-up picture of Aniston from the show with the caption, “Watching the Morning show and Jennifer Aniston’s botox face…” Jumping on the Botox bandwagon, another added, “Jennifer Aniston’s really been going the Botox route…”
Whether alleged or true, one can’t help but wonder: What would Jennifer Aniston look like naturally today if she hadn’t undergone any cosmetic procedures? Luckily, with the magic of AI, this question can be answered.

As seen with the AI-generated picture placed just above and the one after it, Aniston’s nose would still look like the one the “We’re the Millers” talent originally had before she got it altered because of a medical reason.

In this next picture, Aniston appears with wrinkles on her forehead and around her eyes to account for what tends to happen as people grow older. The AI-generated image also shows a few hints of gray strands of hair at the actress’s roots.

The following photo shows that the gray strands are still carried through but are dimmed down by Aniston’s still vibrant blonde locks. She also has more distinct smile lines and wrinkles on her cheeks.

In the last AI-generated image, Aniston’s roots, while still showing a touch of gray, mostly depict her naturally dark-brown hair. The creases on her forehead and between her eyebrows are more distinct and her striking-blue eyes appear aged as well.

Although many believe Aniston has used injections on her visage to appear more youthful, the “Just Go with It” star previously denied having used enhancements. In a 2014 interview, Aniston spoke about the unattainable standard that exists within Hollywood for older women to be ageless.
“I think what I have been witness to, is seeing women trying to stay ageless with what they are doing to themselves,” she disclosed.

She then went on to clarify, “I am grateful to learn from their mistakes, because I am not injecting [sic] into my face.” According to Aniston, the only work she has ever gotten done on her visage is a nose job.
A throwback childhood photo with “The Big Bang Theory” actress Mayim Bialik shared on Instagram in 2015 shows her and Aniston posing for a picture together. Here Aniston still had her old nose.
Years after that photo was taken, Aniston changed her nose, not for aesthetics but because of a medical problem. “I had [a deviated septum] fixed – best thing I ever did. I slept like a baby for the first time in years,” she explained in 2007.
Aniston then shifted the focus back to the other rumors that had been swirling concerning plastic surgery. “As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it’s still mine. All of it. Still mine. Short of letting everybody have a feel, I don’t know what else to do. I really am pretty happy with what God gave me,” she divulged.
As far as Aniston’s previous statement about being happy with what God gave her is concerned, her recent excursion to an enhancement facility may suggest otherwise.
At the end of March, Jennifer Aniston, renowned actress Sandra Bullock, and the wife of famous actor Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, were spotted leaving a well-known plastic surgery office.
All three of them were seen at The Retreat At Split Rock in Greenwich, Connecticut. The establishment is known for its high-end facial surgeries, including upper and lower face lifts costing between $50,000 to $100,000, as well as brow and eye lifts at around $30,000 each.

Overseen by Dr. Neil A Gordon, a specialist in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, the cosmetic surgery clinic offers facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty as well.
The facility also offers injectables like a full face of Botox costing around $3,000 and Kybella at $6,000. Although Aniston was seen leaving the plastic surgery office, there was no confirmation as to what treatment she received, if any.

As a celebrity, paparazzi photos are nothing new to Aniston. She is vocal about her indifference toward the unwanted photographers and the critics who scrutinize celebrities and has conveyed a sense of detachment from the fleeting nature of paparazzi photographs. On this, she said, “If they get a picture, that picture comes and goes, so who cares?”

Beyond the cameras, Aniston has also addressed the harsh reality of online criticism, where individuals spend their days belittling celebrities to presumably boost their self-esteem.
“Then you have 30 mean people who sit at their computers and spend their entire day picking apart and insulting celebrities about how ugly they are just so they can feel better—I guess—about themselves. I don’t understand it,” she previously expressed.
