A lot of our favourite stars are looking… different. This year, Anne Hathaway is starring in 5 films.

These days, it's harder and harder to spot a fully natural face. The culprit? Cosmetic procedures like botox and facelifts. So what are the implications for the art created? And what is the impact on the audiences? In this deep dive episode, we'll look at the growing trend of these cosmetic procedures, discussing how much it may be impacting cinema, as well as those in front of the screens.
