Keeley Hawes

[andy-hughes]

I have been watching Keeley Hawes in Line Of Duty and could not understand why she looked so different from the way she looked in Ashes To Ashes.

I thought she looked drop-dead gorgeous in that series, with her strong features, and her gorgeous teeth.

I see her on LOD, and she is unrecognisable as the same person!!

Now I know why - she has had a nose job!!!

I know that personal perception is everything, and it is entirely about how you personally feel you look, and nothing to do with what other people tell you.

But i have to say that from a former admirer's perspective, I loved her nose as it was, and I am saddened to think she has lost what I think gives her face character, and opted for a change which to my eyes makes her look rather plain and unremarkable.

I am atteacted to women with strong features, so her rather bland loook now does nothing for me at all.

As I say, it's her face, and I hope she is happy with it - just a personal observation, nothing more.

[chelle7272]

ael - that was the same year that she was in Line of Duty, the OP states she had a nose job before then.

you should read Grazia, brainiac

"My evenings are quite traditional in many ways. My children [Myles, Ralph and Maggie] are all still at home so my average evening revolves around feeding them, organising them and making sure what they’re doing. We’re very organised and tidy: I have to have a word with myself sometimes about just letting the kids make a bit of mess. Sometimes you have to be relaxed and let people live their lives and let home feel like a home."

Not that I quite see why they should be her responsibility more than her husband's.

Maybe she's better at it?

I can't imagine that a couple with careers like their's don't have nannies or au pairs and a housekeeper. Can't imagine either of them standing there doing the ironing of school uniforms on Sunday evening!

[AuntPollyGrey]

Oh my Goodness of course she will have 'Staff'! Why they make up this rubbish beats me.

[andy-hughes]

Just to return to my OP - if you look at images of Ms Hawes in Ashes To Ashes, and compare them with images of her in Line of Duty, the difference in the shape of her nose is perfectly evident.

She reminds me of Steve Harley who, as a younger man, was very handsome with an aqueline nose, which he then had surgery on, and has the rather pudgy fat nose he has today - again, comparison of images shows the difference.

[douglas9401]

I'm reminded of your problems with the synching of music videos, do you have the same issue with stills?

The fragrant Keeley says she hasn't had surgery but you say she has.

Who do you think is correct, in the real world?

[andy-hughes]

douglas - // The fragrant Keeley says she hasn't had surgery but you say she has.

I think both of us are correct - Ms Hawes did say on television that she had not had surgery - but that was in 2014.

It is now 2021, and as another poster has advised - a lot can happen in seven years.

Convinced i'd posted this reply earlier - wonder if it's on another thread? :-(
In my most humble of opinions, the plainer the character Keeley Hawes plays, the better an actor she seems to be. Her performances in LOD, Bodyguard and, most recently, It's A Sin were very commendable. We are bound to see lots of her as her CV marks her out as one of our finest actors.

Maybe she’s had a nose job, I don’t know.
I think she is less attractive in LoD because her character looked so bloomin’ miserable all the time.

[andy-hughes]

Cloverjo - // I think she is less attractive in LoD because her character looked so bloomin’ miserable all the time. //

I get that - her character, as far as I have seen (we are only on Series Two) is clearly a person who doesn't spend a lot of time and money on looking attractive - and I guess that's a tribute to the make-up and lighting people, the writers, and of course Ms Hawes as an actress.

Not sure if you're right, Andy. This is at the time of Ashes to Ashes:

And this is at the time of Line of Duty:

[brainiac]

although the more I look at them.....

[andy-hughes]

I may be entirely mistaken, but I honestly feel that the difference in her appearance is down to more than good makeup and acting.

I spent a serious amount of time giving her my undivided attention through three series of Ashes To Ashes, and I am sure her face is different.

Oh well, just the observations of a man with too much time to watch tv and gasp at gorgeous actresses!!

[Hopkirk]

No way has she had a nose job.

[Peter Pedant]

// Personally, I'm fed up seeing her on TV - she's never off our screens.//

nope I am not ( fed up etc..) I think she can act and lift a plot and a series

[Cloverjo]

She is brilliant. I don’t think I’d have watched the silly Finding Alice if Hawes hadn’t been in it.

[Zacs-Master]

‘ I spent a serious amount of time giving her my undivided attention’

Surprised you had any time for Gloria H in there, Andy!

[Deskdiary]

I've had an enormous crush on Keely Hawes for years - I've lost count of the times I've watched Ashes to Ashes.
