She’s just so gorgeous! Want to look like her.

Really enjoying her new series on Netflix, love every outfit (aside from a shiny puffy jacket maybe)

She’s a Northerner too, so extra points 😂

I thought she was younger than she is though

Mainly though, she’s a remarkable acting talent - I think people underrate her because she’s so gorgeous but I reckon she’s going to have a career as big & award winning as someone like Sarah Lancashire eventually.

Nah.

Moonshine5 · 04/01/2024 22:56

Why all the hate? She's a successful woman living her life, seems like a decent person.

Wanttobeok · 04/01/2024 22:56

I couldn't tell she had had work done apart from some lip fillers but they're more subtle than most.

I think she's stunning!

It's not entirely obvious. Her lips yes. But she's beautiful & some people just love to hate.

Before and after.

I am not sure how anyone could not think she looks better now? She’s had some great work done.

Yearofchanges · 04/01/2024 23:00

I agree with many of the pp, I felt that Michelle's role in fool.me once was very believable. Do think she has a lovely face- would put any changes down to a rhinoplasty or fillers in the nose, lip filler and weight loss.

I think the work she has had done in subtle, her pictures likely have filters on, as many do, but on tv, her face moves etc. Her lips probably have filler, but again, it’s subtle compared to many
I think she’s a great actress too

Sarah Lancashire is an excellent, internationally-acclaimed award-winning character actor. Michelle Keegan is a model who can hold her own in front of a television camera and has almost no versatility as an actor.

About all they have in common is they both used to be in Coronation Street, and even then only one of them is remembered as an iconic character. (Clue: it's not Michelle Keegan)

boobot1 · 04/01/2024 23:03

I think shes a great actor but just slightly better than average looking, certainly not 'breathtaking'. Beauty is definately in the eye of the beholder. There are many who are lauded as gorgeous who I think are very average like harry styles or david beckham, I don't see it😕

Literally my partners dream women ! She is beautiful so I can't moan lol I love her hair and loved her in our girl and brassic

Well I'd certainly be moaning. I'd expect my partners dream women to be me.
I couldn't care less how beautiful or stunning she was or I'd be telling him to piddle off with her being that she's such a lark. (This is,why I can't be in a relationship, (too jealous, I'll hold my hands up)
Not a personal dig at MK just speaking in general.

I don’t think she’s had as much done as people make out - Botox & maybe filler, yes, but no more than that - she was so incredibly young when she first came into the public eye, of course she’s going to look very different - obviously she’s aged but also make up fashions have evolved so much. She was incredibly beautiful then & she’s incredibly beautiful now. Mainly though, she’s a remarkable acting talent - I think people underrate her because she’s so gorgeous but I reckon she’s going to have a career as big & award winning as someone like Sarah Lancashire eventually.

Oh please. She's had EVERYTHING done. Ageing doesn't reshape your nose ffs.
Brow lift, nose (more than once), lip filler, jaw line filler, veneers which is weird as her teeth were fine. But now they look plastic.

I think she’s beautiful and I’m loving the latest series!

Joanna Lumley though will always be my favourite ❤️

Pigeonqueen · 04/01/2024 23:07

I don’t really understand the fuss to be honest. She’s an okay actress. She’s pretty ish but very plastic looking. I think there are lots of women who look really similar to her. It’s a very generic look. I mean that’s fine, but it’s not what I would aspire to.

foxlover47 · 04/01/2024 23:09

@Awwlookatmybabyspider
I hear what you're saying ,
You're right because I'm absolutely everything opposite as much as anyone could ever be to her too ! Much larger ( 14/16) blonde and 40s with no work so very lined lol
It was when we met and we did the whose your fave celeb chat

NotARealWookiie · 04/01/2024 23:09

I think she’s gorgeous and I didn’t notice the work…which I normally really do!

However, I was thinking today I really like her but she seems a one tricky pony acting wise, she’s portrayed her characters almost exactly the same in Corrie, Our Girl and Fool Me Once.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/01/2024 23:09

She is a very attractive women. You can't take that away from her. However she knows that herself. How much more smoke needs to be blown up her arse.

Changedmymind99 · 04/01/2024 23:09

She’s 36 not 42!

WhatdoIdoTree · 04/01/2024 23:10

@Inmecomfiesnow the very real intention of this thread is for people to come on and comment on Michelle’s looks. It’s what you’re doing, it wasn’t your intention to set up this thread to talk about her acting.

Poor taste, no one knows Michelle. You’re all commenting on her looks, what she’s had done etc. I just don’t like it. Leave her alone.

foxlover47 · 04/01/2024 23:12

Did anyone see mark wrights post about her on instagram?
He was basically saying how proud he is of her as she has had so much anxiety about being judged as a actress over the years and how much work she puts into learning her lines etc
He seems to really love her which is nice to see , she seems like a nice lady in real life too

Exactly. She plays that one character well. But she doesn't appear to have a whole lot of range.

Moonshine5 · 04/01/2024 23:14

@baroqueandblue In the comparison to Sarah Lancashire maybe wait 20 odd years that she has on her to evaluate her career.
Btw I like them both.

PeggyPoggleshaw · 04/01/2024 23:14

As others have said I thought she was a lot more attractive before she started filling her face and chest with plastic.

FreshWinterMorning · 04/01/2024 23:15

SoOutingWhoCares · 04/01/2024 22:23

She's very pretty but given the choice I'd love to look like Natalie Anderson who played her beautiful sister in that programme and who looks incredible for 42.

Incredible for 42.

Is 42 ancient then? 😂

@Inmecomfiesnow Michelle is attractive, but as pps have said, she has spoiled herself a little bit with the lip-fillers and botox etc.
