They were admired by millions: five famous actors who changed beyond recognition. Photo

Sometimes fame and money play a cruel joke on world celebrities. Not only actresses, but also actors, make sacrifices and undergo a large number of plastic surgeries to continue to captivate audiences. The appearance of stars is also affected by their lifestyle, drug and alcohol use.

OBOZREVATEL presents to your attention artists whom fans hardly recognize nowadays. However, 10 years ago, they were considered sex symbols and received huge fees on television (to see the photos, scroll to the bottom of the page).

Melanie Griffith

The American actress Melanie Griffith, who in her youth delighted the public with her beauty, is the only daughter of the fashion model Tippi Hedren. The star's appearance was affected by drug addiction and her divorce from Antonio Banderas in 2015. The celebrity has undergone several plastic surgeries to prove that she is no worse than her ex's young chosen one. Griffith has about 100 films to her credit, the most famous of which are City of Fear, Business Girl, and Alien Among Us.

Courtney Love

Courtney Love, an American actress, vocalist and guitarist of the rock band Hole, as well as the widow of Nirvana's leader Kurt Cobain, has had drug problems since her teenage years. At the age of 14, she was sent to a juvenile correctional facility for shoplifting. In 2004, the star was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a suicide attempt. Her lifestyle and difficult fate had a significant impact on her appearance. Love's first work was the British biopic Sid and Nancy, and her last was a biopic about Kurt Cobain, where she played herself.

Meg Ryan

In 1986, the American actress played the role of a pilot's wife in the movie Top Gun starring Tom Cruise. She is remembered all over America for her phrase: "Take me or lose me forever." The Hollywood star, in pursuit of attractiveness and youth, became addicted to beauty treatments, which led to the fact that today few people can recognize a woman as a charming lady from the past. Ryan does not pay attention to criticism and continues to visit a plastic surgeon on a regular basis.

Mel Gibson

The legendary Australian and American actor, known for the films Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, and The Man Without a Face, has aged a lot in recent years. The idol of millions has grown a thick beard, which, according to fans, has added a few more years to his life. However, the new image has not spoiled Gibson at all, as he continues to appear on the set and conquer the audience with his talent.

Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke's acting career began in 1979, but he got his first big role only in 1983. The celebrity played a motorcyclist in the movie "Fighting Fish". In addition to cinema, the man also excelled in big sports. Rourke is also known as a professional boxer, because he started practicing this sport when he was still a teenager. This activity greatly influenced Mickey's appearance. During the years he spent in the ring, he was punched in the face more than once, and he decided to turn to a professional to restore the original shape of his nose and cheekbones.
