Audiences who are familiar with the classical American drama "Gossip Girl" may still recall the villain girl named Georgina, nicknamed "Spoiler".
Michelle Trachtenberg (Michelle Trachtenberg) is the actor in "Spoiler", she stepped into the entertainment industry at the age of 3, and has been playing various small roles on Hollywood sets since she was a child.
It wasn't until 2007's "Gossip Girl" that she became completely popular because she played the bad girl "Spoiler".
After the release of the phenomenal American drama "Gossip Girl", the style of girls on the Upper East Side of New York immediately became a fashion model for major fashion magazines and young women.
Despite only playing a supporting role, "Spoiler" has become one of the most eye-catching characters in the show with her beautiful figure and delicate baby face.
Michelle has become a typical representative of those mean girls in high school because of her youthful appearance and sharp sense of sharpness in her eyebrows and eyes.
She went on to star in the popular comedy film "17 Again", in which she played the daughter of the protagonist Mike, a typical high school girl.
However, recently, Michelle has become the object of heated discussion on major platforms on the Internet.
That's the photo she posted on Instagram.
She looks thin in **, with obvious sunken cheeks, which is completely different from the youthful appearance in everyone's memory.
Subsequently, a large number of negative reviews appeared on Michelle's account.
Your face looks like it's been drained, it's terrifying, it's ...... like a skeleton
Many netizens on her Instagram asked her if she was sick because of failed plastic surgery.
She quickly posted a couple of ** in response:
There have been several recent reviews about my appearance, I have never had cosmetic surgery, I am not malnourished, and I am living a happy and healthy life. Those who harbor hatred should introspect themselves.
The change in her appearance has caused heated discussions among the public many times.
Michelle's facial wrinkles are very noticeable, and she is the type who tends to look old.
Her style of painting is also gradually changing, with age and thinner cheeks.
It wasn't until the year before last that she returned in the second season of the new version of Gossip Girl, and she seemed to have become more mature than the previous Georgina.
In the last two days' posts, Michelle replied to netizens again:
Have you forgotten the time? I am no longer a 14-year-old girl, but a 38-year-old mature woman. That's who I really am.
Michelle has received support from many netizens because of her honesty.
Do you think 20 and 38 years old will look similar? I appreciate your candid attitude, you are really outstanding!
Maybe in the hearts of the audience, the actors should stay young forever and keep what they remember.
However, there is no escaping natural aging.
In Hollywood, aesthetic plastic surgery is as common as drinking water and eating. It is normal to rely on medical aesthetics and plastic surgery to maintain youthful beauty.
When aesthetic surgery is overdone, it often backfires.
Courteney Cox plays the role of Monica in "Friends", and she once had amazing beauty.
As the years passed, Courtney found that her complexion was no longer as tight as it had been when she was younger, which left her in a state of deep anxiety.
In order to maintain her youthful appearance, she has undergone various plastic surgeries and aesthetic procedures.
Her face was swollen and her cheeks were sunken, which startled reporters on the red carpet.
More and more, people around her said to her, "You look really scary. ”
She hesitantly found her own ** published in the magazine, and after staring at it for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Oh my God, it's terrible!" ”
What she expressed in her interview with the British Mirror is:
Since I was a child, I have always felt that my appearance is the most important thing, so I often feel that I look different and old. For years, I've struggled to get back to the way I was when I was younger.
Courteney finally realizes that as she continues to undergo aesthetic surgeries, her appearance becomes more and more eccentric.
Instead of being anxious about her appearance, she calmly accepted that she would grow old, so she removed the injection from her face.
Courtney is more concerned about whether she is living a healthy lifestyle than whether she is as firm and smooth as she was when she was younger.
She was already able to show off the fine lines at the corners of her eyes unabashedly.
It seems that we have been getting more and more afraid of aging since a long time ago, and we are eager to find ways to perpetuate our youth.
When the youthful face is gone, all the good things in life become boring.
Indeed, who doesn't crave a youthful body?
However, who can stop the passage of time?
Meryl Streep, a two-time Oscar winner for Best Actress, is now in her seventies. She still shows energy and charm on the screen.
In 1983, Meryl won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the first time at the age of 34 for her role in "Sophie's Choice".
She is very worried at the moment, worried about whether her acting career is about to come to an end.
In Hollywood, which was prosperous at the time, there were many young and beautiful actresses.
She worries about whether she still has a place in the film industry, especially when her looks are no longer young.
However, no one expected that this would only be the beginning of the pinnacle of her career.
Her acting talent is extraordinary and impressive.
Meryl, 40 years old, is gradually expanding her acting career, trying to challenge a variety of different roles and scripts.
Meryl gradually broke the stereotype that middle-aged actresses could only play secondary roles, and created her own path to success in Hollywood.
Interestingly, most of Meryl's most well-known roles were played after she turned 40.
In 1995, Meryl starred as a middle-aged housewife in a small town in "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" at the age of 46, which became a classic in film history.
With her rich experience and superb acting skills, she vividly expresses the complex and vague emotions in the heart of this character.
Meryl was 59 years old when it was released, and the film made her a global hit.
As soon as Aunt May appeared, her powerful aura and charming charm directly covered up the brilliance of Anne Hathaway's youth and beauty.
Over the years, Meryl has never undergone plastic surgery or aesthetic treatment** to smooth out the wrinkles on her face.
She once mentioned in an interview:
Not only do we have a lot of women in our line, but there are also many men who have joined in. But I wouldn't choose to do that, because I think old age should be welcomed.
I'm over seventy, but I still feel like I'm still in the same frame of mind as I was when I was forty.
We should face aging with a more intelligent and calm attitude, rather than being afraid.
Just keep that blazing flame in your heart, no matter how old you ......It's just the beginning of a new 20-year-old.
The famous American writer Samuel Ullman's classic essay "Youth", although not long, has inspired many people in the past 100 years.
If you've ever felt the fear of time passing, no matter what your age, consider reading this short article.
When you stop being obsessed with the number of age and allow everything to happen, your life will be more exciting.
"Youth" by Samuel Ullman
Youth is not the passage of time, but the state of the heart; Youth is not in countenance, red lips and soft knees, but in a firm will, a vast imagination and passionate emotions; Youth is like a spring in the depths of life.
Although the years have grown, it does not mean that they are old; Only by giving up ideals will you fall into the twilight of your life. Time passes, and aging only affects appearance; If the passion is abandoned, the soul will fall into decadence.
As long as you can receive the signals of beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength transmitted by heaven and earth, you can make your youth live forever and your elegance will last forever, because there is an antenna in everyone's heart.
Once the sharp spirit is covered by ice and snow, the antenna collapses, cynicism and self-abandonment arise spontaneously, even if he is twenty years old, he is really old;
As long as you set up the antenna and receive an optimistic signal, even if you are 80 years old and facing the moment of saying goodbye to the world, you will still feel eternal youth and hope will never be extinguished.
