To think Michelle Keegan has incredible genes

This

Acknowledging she has had plastic surgery is not nasty, it's realistic. She is very beautiful but she has had plastic surgery, that's a fact.

And it should be acknowledged that she doesn't naturally look like that because women and young peoples self esteem is seriously affected by the beauty standards represented in the media. In schools we have had to do PSHE lessons showing the famous people they are comparing themselves to and coming up short don't even look that way. People are comparing themselves to these impossible standards, pointing out they have been achieved with surgery is not mean, it's just the truth.

I have never really understood why supporting the sisterhood means supporting buying an Identikit face. Every young woman looks exactly alike now. ( and some older women).

I wouldnt start a thread about it but I also won't fawn over Michelle or any woman low on acting ability and high on plastic.

That's exactly it! There's a point on the celebrity career trajectory where suddenly they look like they all got their faces from the same catalogue.

She also has never commented on what she has or hasn't had which of course is her perogative but I assume it's because there's a very long list of procedures!

Surely "good genes" confer health, longevity and other positive characteristics rather than applying themselves purely to cosmetics? I've no idea about Michelle Keegan but hope she and her family are happy and healthy.

Good genes and an excellent surgeon

As if men being judgemental about women wasn't bad enough... we have women being really vile about other women.

I assume this is some kind of fishing or joke post? MK’s current face is a product of plastic surgery, cosmetic enhancements, and a shit load of makeup and contouring. I don’t think she looks bad but she does look very plastic and fake to me. I’m surprised she’s managing to cling onto an acting career to be honest.

There are so many women out there that really are naturally beautiful. I’m surprised you’ve picked MK out of all of those 🤔

Joanne Froggatt looks so much more natural though -clearly has not had her lips done.

I can imagine it's hard to say no to enhancements if you're in that industry and seeing pictures of yourself all the time. Coupled to that the rejection that comes with the job, it might be easy to think 'if I just fix my lips I'll get more parts'. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and she just really likes her new look.

I worked in retail with her a long time ago and she was very pretty. I think she’s had tweakments but she was working with a 10/10 base to begin with.

Agree. Also at 5, 3 or 5,4 she's only an inch or so off average height so hardly 'tiny'!

Yes it is. It isn't a productive thing to say imo, because young girls compare themselves to this altered look, and feel inferior. It isn't genes, it is plastic surgery, and unnatural. She looks great now, but didn't need anything done before; she was really pretty then as well.

All the posters who believe this thread is genuine and not set up to get them all doing exactly what they’ve done, are not engaging their brains. Either that or they do realise why OP has written the post to include the word genes, but bringing down other women makes them feel better about themselves.

I remember first seeing her as Tina in Coronation Street. She was naturally pretty before, and didn't need the plastic surgery done. She looks nothing like her Mum now, who also has a nice face.
She reminds me a bit of Kylie Jenner in the first picture on the link before she also had anything done.

"I'm glad they've finally had a baby" is such a weird comment.

I don't think anyone with an Instagram face is 'stunning'. I think a beautiful face comes with little 'imperfections' such as an amazing smile with slightly crooked teeth, like Keira Knightly. But that sort of beauty can't be replicated because there's something inexplicable about it. Plus a lot of beauty is about expression and an intelligence that shows in the face and botox destroys all that (if it was ever there to begin with).

I don't understand why 'good genes' only applies to face/body. Angelina Jolie clearly doesn't have good genes health-wise.

@strawlight

Are you? Why?

THIS exactly! And the bizarre suggestion that how Michelle now looks, is down to 'good genes,' is both laughable and infuriating in equal measures.

I'm also old enough to remember what she used to look like. Just a normal, averagely-attractive girl.
Not sure what you mean about her mum... She just looks like a very normal, slightly overweight woman in late middle age.

Now she's just got that generic "I paid money for this face" look. It's that currently trendy look made famous by the Kardashians. Lots of filler, heavy eye make-up, a nose job and buccal fat removal.

I wonder if you really believe that it doesn't affect anyone.
Someone who was on half the nation's telly every week with her natural good looks, goes through multiple surgeries to look completely different in a generic way, whilst still being on the telly and in the limelight.
This isn't someone down the road who works in an office.
Of course it affects many thousands of people, and those it affects most are young women and girls who aren't confident in their own natural good looks.

They are the most shameless couple on Instagram I’ve ever seen, Mark literally begs for anything for free, even pub roast dinners, he’s absolutely shameless.

As for ‘they’ve worked for everything they’ve got’, their finances are a little…..odd no? Living the life of a premiership footballer on Brassic wages and the odd reality TV stint Mark can get…….

I noticed her ears watching Ten Pound Poms. They seem very large and stick out a bit.

The arse lickers don’t like it though.
