Now that the 4th season of cult favorite "Arrested Development" has debuted all 15 episodes on Netflix, many are clamoring to know if the seemingly new look of Lindsay Bluth-Funke, played by actress Portia De Rossi, has anything to do with her going under the knife.
The 40-year-old actress looked noticeably different when she reprised her role as self-centered activist Lindsay in the cult hit after it returned to the small-screen after seven years off the air. Fox cancelled the series in 2006 despite it being critically acclaimed. Unlike all of the other stars, De Rossi had a look that seemed like it was the result of more than just seven years of aging.
Many claim her cheekbones are pronounced, her forehead and cheeks look like they've had some work done as well according to fans. This has sparked speculation that she may have had a brow lift, Botox, implants or even a rhinoplasty reports DailyMail.
Despite the claims, E-Online reports they have a source that can confirm that the actress did not go under the knife before the premiere of the new season.
"She's absolutely not had plastic surgery," the source said. "Her character is clearly wearing a wig, which ended up altering her entire look."
De Rossi's hair got a new look before the show began filming and had to wear a wig for a lot of the season's run. The source claim this is what caused her facial appearance to look so drastically different. The source went on to explain how De Rossi couldn't be happier with the way she looks crediting her youthful appearance to her vegan diet, which she has been adhering to for the past five years.
Having the public talk about her body image is nothing new to the former "Ally McBeal" star who battled anorexia in her 20s. She reportedly reached a low point of 82 pounds. During her time on the show, the star said she lived on 300 calories a day and hid from her castmates and friends.
Below is a video of De Rossi being interviewed with her wife Ellen DeGeneres at the premiere of "Arrested Development Season 4."
