Christina Applegate Reveals Only Cosmetic Procedure She Got Done After Getting Shamed By A Producer

As a dedicated fan, I cannot help but admire Christina Applegate for her unwavering courage and honesty about her experiences in Hollywood. Her journey, marked by struggles with beauty standards, anorexia, and multiple procedures, is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by women in the industry.


Christina Applegate recently spoke openly about the beauty norms in Hollywood and how she followed them during her late twenties. On the July 30th episode of her podcast Messy with Christina Applegate & Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Applegate admitted to getting an eye procedure at age 27, as suggested by a television producer. Without revealing the producer’s identity or the name of the show, she mentioned that the person was associated with a well-known series.

Applegate was informed by someone that the production team was struggling to balance the lighting due to the large bags beneath her eyes. This person recommended she have them surgically removed, which she decided to do, even though these bags were inherited. According to the actress, this was her sole cosmetic intervention throughout her life.

On her recent podcast, Applegate, aged 52, spoke about a movie director making a comment regarding her aging looks during an ADR session for a film she worked on in her 40s. As she revisited footage from this session, the actress shared her disappointment when the unnamed director mentioned that the studio had to invest significantly to correct the sagging skin on her face, which she noticed as well.

“They literally erased my face,” Applegate told co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

After her friend, the director, expressed regret for the incident at a later time, Applegate pointed out that actresses can frequently find themselves sidelined in the industry if they’re not prepared to take on grandmother roles.

The actress from How I Met Your Mother remembered receiving criticism from an editor about the way she walked.

Christina Applegate had previously detailed her struggle with anorexia

In a podcast episode from May, the actress from Married with Children admitted battling anorexia throughout her 10-year tenure on the show. She revealed that to make her bones prominent, she restricted her diet, consuming merely five almonds daily. On those rare occasions when she consumed six almonds, she felt unwell and preferred staying indoors.

In 2021, Applegate revealed that she had been diagnosed with MS. She additionally disclosed that she underwent a liposuction procedure on her legs around the age of 26.
