How Friends star Coueney Cox, 61, would REALLY look without cosmetic tweaks

When Courteney Cox was catapulted into the spotlight after landing her role in beloved sitcom Friends, she quickly captured the nation thanks to her stunning and all-natural beauty.

But like many young stars, the actress soon succumbed to the pressures of Hollywood and admitted to going overboard with her cosmetic enhancements over the years.

The TV star, now 61, previously detailed how she would undergo just one procedure at a time – which ultimately resulted in a ‘domino effect’ of alterations – and left her unable to realize the extent of her changing appearance.

Cox had all her fillers dissolved in 2017 and has since decided to age naturally.

But many might be wondering what the legendary actress would look like had she not undergone the tweakments in the first place.

Now, dramatic, computer-generated images have revealed the answer.

Artificial intelligence was told to analyze photos of the timeless beauty when she was younger and make a variety of predictions about what she should look like at age 61.

The results were quite a shakeup from how she looks now, as they showed the star with wrinkles and crow’s feet around her eyes – but still strikingly beautiful.

Back in 2023, Cox opened up about the ‘pressure’ to stay looking young in the film industry.

She told Woman magazine: ‘My biggest beauty regret is fillers.

‘There’s so much pressure to stay looking young in this industry that once you start, it becomes a bit of a domino effect and you keep on having more.

‘To the rest of the world your face is so obviously changing, but to yourself – because you’re only having one procedure at a time – you don’t notice.

‘It was a total waste of time and I wish I hadn’t caved into the pressure of having it.’

The previous year, the actress admitted she initially tried to fight looking older with various ‘injections’ and other treatments but eventually realized she went ‘crazy’ and is now trying to age gracefully.

She told the Sunday Times Style magazine: ‘There was a time when you go, “Oh, I’m changing. I’m looking older.” And I tried to chase that (youthfulness) for years.

‘And I didn’t realize that, oh s**t, I’m actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now.’

Musing on whether to post a photo on Instagram of those days compared to now, she added: ‘I’d say, “The day you realize what your friends were talking about.”

‘Because people would talk about me, I think. But there was a period where I went, “I’ve got to stop. That’s just crazy.”‘

While she has given up cosmetic procedures, Courteney loves trying new products because she still puts a lot of ‘intense’ pressure on herself to look good.

She said: ‘The scrutiny is intense, but I don’t know if it could be more intense than what I put on myself. I’m a product wh**e. I will try anything.’
