Anne Hathaway responds to facelift rumours

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has addressed rumours that she had a facelift after fans questioned her recent appearance.

The 43-year-old actress sparked online speculation in March after posting an Instagram video showing a beauty trick used by her hairstylist, Orlando Pita.

In the clip, Hathaway revealed that Pita created two hidden braids near her temples to slightly lift the eye area whenever he styled her hair for red-carpet events.

However, the video fuelled claims that the actress may have undergone cosmetic surgery.

Speaking in a new interview with ELLE Magazine, Hathaway said the speculation became too loud to ignore.

The Princess Diaries star said she usually prefers not to respond to public comments about her appearance, but felt the conversation had become distracting.

According to her, many people now assume their opinions are facts, even when they may not be accurate.

Hathaway explained that she wanted people to know she had not made any major medical decision, saying the change in her look was simply the result of “two braids.”

She also described facelift surgery as a serious medical decision, while making it clear that she is not ruling it out in the future.

The actress said she may still decide to have a facelift someday, but insisted that her recent appearance was not the result of surgery.

Hathaway is also returning as journalist Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 hit film.

Reflecting on the role, she said returning to the character after nearly 20 years felt emotional because the original movie played a major role in shaping her career.

She also expressed gratitude to the people behind the first film, saying she was happy to return as a healthier and more positive person.
