Here's What Renee Zellweger Told ET About Plastic Surgery -- Back in 2002

Before Renee Zellweger's new look had everyone talking, ET asked her back in 2002 if she'd ever consider getting work done -- and her answer may surprise you. Zellweger made news Monday when she hit the red carpet at the Elle Women In Hollywood Celebration looking noticeably different.

The lying is the most ridiculous part of this story. Makes her look like a kid who got caught doing something she wasn't supposed to do.

[folasko]

She's still pretty after getting her eyes done but it was her eyes that set her apart. Now she looks generic.

[hellosweetheart]

She NEEDED this surgery guys, her face was wrinkled bad & her eyes looked like she was frightened at all times, she looks so much better now!

[catlucky]

Good answers Renee. Very genuine and honest. It's your business.

The 2014 woman is not Renee... Its Glen Close! Nyehehe

[yulianamagdalena]

oh my God, did she really do plastic surgery??? No wonder she become someone that completely looks Not Her. I am so saaad, because I love to see her beautiful face, such a great gift from Heaven. Where's the beauty? Why??? I love the old Renee.

My God! Leave her alone she is so talented, I just saw what if on Netflix and Rene was so powefull in it, she is one of few actors that can completely create a character and own it.

Poor Renee. She did not recognize her natural beauty. Now it’s been “plasticated”. For shame.

[eduardomerino]

So she made a long speech about how she wouldn't change her appearance and how we have to accept ourselves for who we are. And yet twelve years later she changed her appearance. Oh the hypocrisy

[meganp]

She now looks like more like Sarah Jessica Parker or Glenn Close

[trevors]

Yeah, I guess this is the Risk you don't think Anyone wants to Change their Entire Identity..?? Renee was/is a very beautiful woman in her and Now, I Literally Can NOT identify ANYTHING about the Renee I know, to what I now see.!?!? Not saying she isn't new face IS But it is NOT Renee....Ahhhh..lol.??

[catlucky]

Prettier and unique looking before the plastic surgery. But always beautiful on the inside.

[enlightenment]

She looks like herself again, in 2020

[lofalta]

she's the older sister of cameron diaz

[rachelwoods]

I think she looks gorgeous, better looking than before in my opinion. More elegant and mature look

[Scoutty]

Hell, it is obvious she had upper eye lid surgery! Why dis she have to lie?

[MsBonijoni]

. ..she looks plain after the changes. ..
. .her old features were beautiful, unique, no one else in her industry looked like she did and if one moment they'd have us believe how none of them, these 'leading lady wannabes' weren't 10 shades of green jealous over her, guess again. ..they were greener than a tropical rain forest. ..💋. ..loaded with ultra neon green venomous frogs - they GLOW GREEN. ..;)

[docgumbo]

Why did she take a pretty and interesting face and turn it into the plastic Barbie Hollywood face?? So sad.

[shaolindreams]

looks much worse.. different doesnt mean good.

[billurgul]
