From Jane Fonda to Melanie Griffith: actors who went throughknife to look younger

In a recent interview with People, Naomi Watts spoke candidly about aging in Hollywood, saying she no longer feels the need to look 25 or to chase an unrealistic version of youth. At 57, she said she isn’t interested in fighting the natural process of aging or rushing into cosmetic surgery just to preserve a younger appearance. Instead, she seems comfortable allowing her face to reflect her life and experiences, even if that means embracing change. Her remarks highlight a refreshing honesty about beauty standards in the industry and contrast with those of actresses who have undergone plastic surgery to look younger. Amidst these statements by Naomi, lets take a look at celebs who went under surgeries to look even more beautiful.

An Academy Award winner and one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars, Jane Fonda built a remarkable career with films like 'Klute ' and 'Coming Home,' then reinvented herself with her fitness empire and later projects such as 'Grace and Frankie.' Over the years, she has openly admitted to having facelifts, saying she wanted to feel confident in a youth-obsessed industry. Now in her eighties, Fonda remains active as an actor and activist, speaking candidly about aging to Los Angeles Times, regret over cosmetic work, and embracing authenticity while continuing to appear at major events and in select screen roles.

An Oscar-nominated actress recognized for films such as 'Working Girl,' Melanie Griffith was a prominent figure in Hollywood during the 1980s and 1990s. Over time, speculation about cosmetic changes surrounded her, and she later acknowledged having undergone certain facial procedures. She has expressed regret about some of the work and has sought corrective treatments to Porter Magazine. Today, Griffith maintains a lower public profile compared to her peak years but still appears at industry events and supports her family’s creative pursuits, often discussing self-acceptance and lessons learned about beauty standards in Hollywood.

Known as the Goddess of Pop, Cher rose to fame in the 1960s and went on to dominate music, television, and film, winning an Academy Award for Moonstruck. Throughout her decades-long career, she has acknowledged undergoing cosmetic surgery to media, including facial procedures, firmly defending her right to choose what makes her feel confident. Even in her seventies, Cher continues to record music, perform selectively, and maintain a strong social media presence. Her evolving appearance has often sparked conversation, but she has consistently framed cosmetic surgery as a personal choice tied to confidence and stage image.

As the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family and a central figure on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' Kris Jenner transformed her family into a global brand. She publicly documented her facelift on reality television, openly discussing the procedure to maintain her image in a highly visual industry. Beyond that, she has acknowledged other surgical enhancements over the years. Now in her early seventies, Jenner continues to manage her children’s careers, expand business ventures, and appear on television, presenting a polished look that aligns with the family’s beauty-driven brand.

Television personality and former music manager Sharon Osbourne became widely known through The Osbournes and later as a judge on talent shows like 'The X Factor.' She has spoken frankly about undergoing multiple cosmetic surgeries, including facelifts, explaining that she felt pressure to look youthful in the public eye. In recent years, she has also reflected on the physical and emotional toll of repeated procedures. Now in her seventies, Osbourne continues to make media appearances and speak openly about her experiences, sometimes expressing caution about going too far with surgical enhancements.
