There's not much in it really, but I think I prefer before...

before

after

Yes it's mean, and yes, I'm bored.

I was hoping someone would post on this subject!

You've picked a very flattering before pic of Shane - in most of the ones I've seen he looked a scuffy tosser (no pun intended).

Now he looks a complete prat Grin

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 08/08/2011 19:09

Gosh, I thought he was the one on the left in the second picture, I was thinking yes, that IS a dramatic makeover Grin

no idea who he is. Don't care what he's done to himself Grin

Although - the second picture - shouldn't he be on the toilet?

LineRunner · 08/08/2011 19:13

I also think that Russell Brand was a lot fucking better looking before Katie Perry dressed him up like a doll.

squeakytoy · 08/08/2011 19:14

He looked a bit of a prick before... he looks a lot more of one now.

His dad looks a lot like Clint Eastwood though Grin

SarahStratton · 08/08/2011 19:14

He looks like Miss Piggy now, and it's not a flattering comparison.

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 08/08/2011 19:15

A neighbour (ardent cricket fan) was talking about Shane's transfomation yesterday.

I don't know what Sunday papers he reads, but apparently one hack suggested that all that's left for Shane now is to put on his girlfriend's safety pin dress and audition for Priscilla Queen of the Desert Grin

SeymoreButts · 08/08/2011 19:16

How do they manage it though? DH never listens to my fashion "advice"

He was utterly fuckable in his cricket white - utterly. Now I wouldn't go near him with someone else's!!

SardineQueen · 08/08/2011 19:32

After for me, sorry. Not that I would do either TBH.

The first pic shows a "bum chin" and I cannot abide a man with a chin like an arse. Also I always thought he was terribly 80s - a bit Jason Donovan in neighbours days - bleached hair and any minute he might break out in a mullet.

So no thanks for me Liz can have him Grin

Is Shane wearing straighteners, or is this how Liz was able to exert her influence? Grin

SarahStratton · 08/08/2011 20:36

Looks more like a quantity of rat traps, which is possibly understandable...

fuckfuckedyfuck · 08/08/2011 20:39

Yes

Animation · 08/08/2011 20:41

He's become camp as well.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 08/08/2011 20:45

YANBU. He looks fucking ridiculous these days. And he pulls strange faces, that match her expression - it is obviously something they do to avoid a double-chin photo.

After they break up and he puts his 2 stone back on, he will look back at the photos of himself atm and Blush and what a camp pillock he looks.

troisgarcons · 08/08/2011 20:54

Amazing - totally amazing - sexualising a man and demeaning his looks is acceptable on MN - but mention "hooters" and we are immediately into paedos salaciously whistling at 13yo girls ..... this place never ceases to amaze me with its double standards.

BTW - Shane Warne is totally fuckable - and girls who want to parade their norks are wlcome to do so. Thibk I'm fair and just on that point ;-D

fivegomadindorset · 08/08/2011 20:57

I have met him a few times, was lovely looking before, hideous now.

FreudianSlipper · 08/08/2011 21:00

can't see what double standards are going on. he looks like a male version of a stepford wife utterly ridiculous a female version would be laughed at discussed too

i can not see the attraction but i bet they have amazing sex

Sidge · 08/08/2011 21:00

He was a bit chubby and bleached blonde before, but now he just looks bizarre.

My cricketer fantasy is James Anderson, mmmm

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 08/08/2011 21:07

Sidge - agree, yum!

Moanna · 08/08/2011 21:12

Ooooh How do you avoid a double chin photo?

Humourme · 08/08/2011 21:17

I think the difference in the photos is not so much the weight loss/gain but the fact that in the first one Shane is smiling which makes him very attractive and welcoming but in the second he just looks unhappy... and unhappy people aren't really attractive no matter how physically great they may look. The press probably caught him at a bad moment. Hardly surprising really. I'm a cricket fan (sad but true!) He was a great player and I find his commentary really quite entertaining - there's probably a lot more to him than just a (chubby) face! Lucky Liz:))

FrenchRuby · 08/08/2011 21:18

Why is he so shiney?

Sidge · 08/08/2011 21:22

Botox and fillers I think, FrenchRuby
