Rosie O’Donnell lifts the lid on future post-facelift surgery plans
Rosie O’Donnell showed off her new facelift under the bright lights of the Tony Awards red carpet and revealed whether or not she plans to go under the knife again, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The 64-year-old Broadway-loving actress made a rare appearance in the United States after moving to Ireland in January 2025, explaining why she chose to make her cosmetic enhancements public before anyone else could make it a “gotcha” moment.
O’Donnell told it E! News on the red carpet that after hosting the Tony Awards three times, she wanted to take the audience experience with her, and plans to spend her summer in New York with a one-woman show after living abroad for more than a year.
She then talked about any plans for more plastic surgery.
“No, I don’t think so,” she said about getting more work done, then talked about why she wanted a facelift in the first place.
“I’ve been taking Mounjaro for the past three years. I also have diabetes and I’ve lost over 50 pounds, and that accounted for a lot of the extra skin I had around my face,” she explained.
O’Donnell revealed that residents of her new adopted country unintentionally pointed out features of her face that led to this The Flintstones star to go under the knife.
“There were two lines that made me look sad,” the former daytime talk show host revealed, pointing to the sides of her mouth and then her chin.
“In Ireland people would say, ‘Are you mad, honey? What’s wrong, honey?'” O’Donnell noted, in an Irish accent. “And I thought, ‘That’s just my face. I’m not angry, it’s just the way I look.'”
O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland before Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term as president, stopped short of turning political when explaining why she went public with her revelation that she had undergone cosmetic surgery.
“Authenticity is the goal in these days and times, and people lie to the American public all day, every day. It’s very disturbing to me,” said the Its own competition star famous.
“And I think the only thing that matters is truth and love, and that’s why I wanted to be honest and say all the complicated emotions I had about it.”
O’Donnell also shared that the results of her procedure were so subtle that her youngest child, Clay, didn’t even notice she had a deep facelift, despite feeling “embarrassed” about the cost.
“My little autistic 13-year-old said to me, ‘If you do it, I could never respect you again,’” O’Donnell said. “And that put me off for a few months, but when I went to do it in January, I came home 10 days later, and they never noticed.”
“I just felt it was better to be honest than not,” she added, saying she didn’t want to be caught in a “gotcha” moment about the work she had done.
“I just wanted to say, ‘Here’s what I did, and here’s the doctor, and if you want. But it’s very expensive – it’s more expensive than any car I’ve ever bought, but I can’t drive around in my face,'” O’Donnell half-joked about the cost of the facelift.
