First things first, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge my admiration for the fact that Helen Hunt clearly has opted to age naturally and I have to applaud that. But I would by lying if I didn't admit that these candid images taken of through a car window were quite jarring. Sorry, but they did. I'm only human, dammit!
I have always thought Helen's mouth looked perpetually pinched. Maybe if she just relaxed a little, it wouldn't look so bad. Poor thing, she's not even on the red carpet.

Ms. Hall says:
Is that really her?
c says:
Looks like Candice Bergen
peachpie says:
yamma hamma! she looks like a mean ole school marm!
dana says:
When you get to a certain age, you need some meat on your bones. Fills out that drwan look. Go eat some cookies Helen.
Jeanne says:
At least she's not all puffed up from injections like other celebs, but she could stand some facial rejuevenation or weight gain.
green cardigan says:
I just googled her date of birth. It says 15 June 1963, which makes her 45 this year. Her skin looks like that of a woman 20 years older or more.
I'm all for ageing naturally but Crikey ! that's ageing in the speeding lane (while overtaking!).
Eat, wear sunscreen, stop smoking !
green cardigan says:
Sorry about that. I've just been bashing my keyboard like a lunatic. Blog Rage.
I know feel absolutely fine with having a cream bun after my lunch. It's for a good cause. Smooth skin when I'm older :)
Jeanie says:
I thought it was Candice Bergen too. I'm glad I have a chubby face, unlike Helen here. I'll stay looking younger longer.
Gry says:
She looks 70. Maybe she's ill. Something is clearly wrong, though.
Me says:
I actually just did a TV show with her and she didn't look like that. I call bad angle or fake.
bd says:
is that a black eye i see? or makeup? or shadow?
Suez says:
That's what borderline anorexia and bad implants do to a face.
iowa girl says:
bd...i saw that too. Maybe she's starting with the eyes, and then will do something with the rest of the face?
c...i agree. i does also look like it could be Candace Bergen
Sean says:
Jeez, that's a rough-looking 45-year-old.
cam says:
She must be sick. There is something seriously wrong with her.
Wicki says:
This is how she looks. I saw the previews of her new film (she plays a romantic lead opposite Colin Firth) and I admit I was shocked. I am ashamed to say it was uncomfortable watching it, she looked so aged. Ashamed because I am 47 myself, but...fatter. So I guess there's the secret.
Jinxy McDeath says:
Lifestyle Lift!She can afford the 4k and it would be a wise investment unless she's dying to play the 'grandma' part in movies. Wow. Obvs I have insomnia and watch paid programming before dawn.
slagreznor says:
I agree with Cam -- there is DEFINITELY wrong with her. Anorexia? Leukemia? SOMETHING, definitely.
iieee says:
She looks like a chemo patient.
lisa says:
Wow...I'm glad to see the people that had the same first impression that I did. Without the header, I would have bet money this was Candace Bergen. Although, as my husband said, her face is far thinner than Candace's. I'm going to be 46 in July and may I say, I look FAR better than her? Makes me happier about my extra 30 pounds.
Tokyokitty says:
there is no way she is in her 40's. My mom is 76 years old and does not look like that. I'm really shocked to see that. Maybe she is sick, as one poster said. Or genetics?
fauxpas says:
Is she a smoker? That would be my guess.
wednesday says:
Starvation, vomiting.. NO FAT diet and stress will suck the youthful life out of you.
Zelda F. says:
I just plain don't believe the photo is real. It's got to be doctored. No way she looks like that, regardless of her fat or cigarette intake. I call bullshit.
henry blince says:
Her brother Mike will come get you.
britegray says:
She's never been pretty anyway. She has an extremely high forehead and very thing lips that are always pursed. And now this just looks worse. Poster "C" was right, she does look like Candice Bergin.
idl3mind says:
Mad about WRINKLES
keek says:
Is it just a shadow or does she have a black eye underneath her sunshades? I hope not. It's obviously not a plastic surgery scar, I truly don't mean that in a nasty way, but it obviously isn't.
Jose says:
Oh My, I would suspect some photoshopping here, Helen Hunt is only around 45...in any case, if it is accurate then this is a good reason why women should put on a few pounds as they age and forget that they are not 20 anymore.
Morris says:
You are all missing the point.
She can suck a golf ball through a hosepipe, that is all that really matters.
Mr.Mann says:
No!! This IS NOT Helen Hunt!!
Mr.Mann says:
No!! This IS NOT Helen Hunt the actress!!!
Richard H says:
This is a doctored or trick photo.
Richard H says:
Trick photography.

Tina says:
Yes, it IS Helen Hunt! Just saw her new movie, and she looks like that thru the whole thing! I was surprised too.....poor thing. I agree, some cookies would be good!
