Actress, 60, faces intense criticism for embracing her natural appearance.

At 60, actress Helen Hunt faced a social media storm over her unfiltered selfie while sharing a nostalgic moment with a book from her past film. On September 16, 2023, she posted a barefaced photo on Instagram, holding the book “Twister,” a nod to the 1996 movie she starred in. Amid compliments like “Helen, you look very cool,” criticism erupted, with claims of plastic surgery. One comment read, “Why would you do that to your face? You were beautiful before all the plastic surgery.” Another asked, “What happened to her face?” Despite mixed reactions, some fans praised her timeless beauty, saying, “Still a beauty, Helen.”

Helen, a divorcee and mother to 19-year-old Makena from a previous relationship, faced a failed marriage with actor Hank Azaria. The brief union ended in 2000. However, happiness found her with producer Matthew Carnahan, Makena’s father, whom she met after her divorce.
