Actress Meg Ryan made a rare public appearance recently, sparking a heated debate about her new look. The 61-year-old star attended a screening of Michael J. Fox’s new documentary, STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie, and was snapped by photographers.
Ryan’s appearance was met with a mix of shock and criticism, with some fans taking to social media to express their disappointment. “What did she do to herself?” one Twitter user asked, while another commented, “Meg Ryan spent thousands to make herself unrecognizable and hideous.”
The actress has faced rumors about plastic surgery in the past, despite her denials. In a 2015 interview with Porter Magazine, Ryan addressed the speculation, saying, “I don’t pay a lot of attention, frankly. There’s a lot of hatred in the world today. It’s so easy to judge.”
Ryan’s appearance at the screening was a show of support for her friend Michael J. Fox, who has been open about his battle with Parkinson’s disease. The documentary explores Fox’s life since his diagnosis and his efforts to raise awareness and fund research.
Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 29, has been candid about the challenges he faces. In a recent interview, he spoke about the toll the disease has taken on his body and his mortality. “I’m not gonna lie. It’s gettin’ hard, it’s gettin’ harder. It’s gettin’ tougher,” he said.
The debate surrounding Ryan’s appearance has sparked a wider conversation about the pressure on women to conform to societal beauty standards. While some have criticized Ryan’s decision to undergo plastic surgery, others have defended her right to make choices about her own body.
As the conversation continues, one thing is clear: Meg Ryan’s rare public appearance has sparked a important discussion about beauty, aging, and the pressure on women to conform.
