Jennifer Love Hewitt hits back at claims she's 'unrecognizable': 'Aging in Hollywood is really hard'
View Date:2024-12-23 15:50:59
Jennifer Love Hewitt hit back at fans claiming she looks "unrecognizable" after using a filter.
Hewitt, 44, appeared on the Dec. 5 episode of the "Inside of You" podcast where she discussed the challenges of how age is perceived in her industry.
"Aging is Hollywood is really hard. You can't do anything right," the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" star said.
Hewitt recalled sharing a video of her getting her hair done in August that led to criticism. "I had not a stitch of makeup on. So, I threw on a filter. I really gave it no thought," she explained, adding that soon, "a bunch of people were like, ‘Jennifer Love Hewitt is unrecognizable.' 'She's unrecognizable, so she's gone to filters because she doesn't want us to know how bad she actually looks now in her 40s.'"
At the time, the "Heartbreakers" star tried "to make fun" of the responses to her photo by posting photos on her Instagram Story with exaggerated cartoon filters including one that made her look like a child.
"So many people said I look different," she captioned the photos, which she posted in September. "I look the same as always. Couldn't look more natural … Filters don't change you that much."

She also denied that she had a brow lift. "Hi. I don't usually do this, but I've had a lot of people lately say that I've had a brow-lifting procedure. I didn't even know you could lift your brows like that," Hewitt said in a video on her Instagram Story. "The only thing that I've done is microblading with Audrey, who I love," referring to her technician Audrey Glass.
Hewitt added on the "Inside of You" podcast that the "over the top" filters only led to more backlash from fans claiming she was condoning unrealistic beauty standards.
The actress said that while she does her best to ignore trolls, they still get to her. "To pretend that we don't (engage) is a lie," she said.
