Famously imperfect

It's said that our flaws give us character.
This
article from Radar online proves just that.
They had a plastic surgeon digitally “correct” some famous faces...

Adrien Brody and Meryl Steep are two of my personal favourites.

With a streamlined shnozz Adrien Brody literally looses his character.

There would be no more scripts for memorable roles in his post-box!

They also genericize Meryl Streep.

They simply photoshopped away all those wonderful lines of life (Yes, I know, it's easy to be poetic when I have none)... Then of course the plastic surgeon needed to fix her nose, as they do. And then a "fixed" nose meant an out of proportion chin so that had to be done too.

Dr Youn would’ve had a whale of a time nipping and tucking the rest of her I'm sure. That said, he's probably a decent guy. Reflecting on his work he said: "You don't mess with iconic faces. Now she's unrecognizable."



And then buzzed his secretary to order a new case of permanent markers.



Those two were the most dramatic and interesting virtual make-overs,
but if you care to see what they did to "fix"
Will Smith , Kirsten Dunst, Bill Clinton, Kelly Clarckson and others, check out their website.
