I’m a fan of the implants, though. Intrigued to see if she gets like most women who add a couple of cup sizes and enjoys showing them off.
One cap hope.
Might be the biggest cosmetic surgery self own since Jennifer Grey. Moriarty had a very distinct and natural beauty. This new face is counter to the brand I think she was building in The Boys. [Reply]

What's kind of sad is that she is portraying a character, Starlight, who in the source comics goes through a Vought-driven phase of sexploitation (similar to what Marvel did for real to Carol Danvers in the 80s, when they had her character brainwashed and then in a sexual relationship with her brainwasher while switching to much more risque costumes and eventually "leaving with the brainwasher."). We're past that point in the story and it has taken some different turns, too. But for her to do all this stuff when she's portraying a this character is just... sad.
I would guess that she tried for some parts and was told there were things about her physically that threw her out of the running (your boobs are too small; you're too "girl next door") and these changes are a result. [Reply]

So she quite literally sold her body for success.
I'm not leaning towards any sympathy here. I think it's gross... [Reply]

She has posted social pictures since the photo in question where she looks basically like her old self in facial features. That one might have been a combo of no makeup plus recent botox or something like that.
Re: sympathy, I think it's more empathizing with what it takes to make it in the movies as a female actress for long periods of time.
The standards women are held to are pretty hard to reach/maintain. Men, too, but there are a lot more work options available for a man once they age out of their "hot" stage (if they even age out of it, as middle-aged Daddy is a hot stage unto itself).
Our friend (plays a Marvel character whose name rhymes with Laptain Smarter) went through some brutal conversations with casting folks around the age Moriarty is now. Consistently told: "You need to lose 2 dress sizes" when she was a size 2/3 with an E cup and also told if she didn't start doing gratuitous scenes, too, it was going to get harder and harder to find major Hollywood roles.
Thankfully, she has found a lane that seems to be very fulfilling and has a good level of success, but it wasn't easy. [Reply]
