Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox shared a joint Instagram post on Sunday, August 17, instantly sparking conversations online. Many fans zoomed in on the selfie, with some alleging the two had undergone excessive cosmetic work that altered their natural looks.
The post itself was warm and playful, featuring a sweet selfie of Cox and Aniston smiling with strikingly similar blue eyes. Alongside the snap was a shot of their wellness products displayed together in the shower. Leaning into the parallel, the caption read, "We look so cute next to each other….so do they 😉♥️."
The lighthearted moment quickly lit up social media. One follower wondered aloud, "Have they had work done?" while another person pointed out, "They look alike."
Not everyone was convinced by their current look, with one netizen insisting, "They don’t look the same. They looked better before they had plastic surgery." Another person chimed in with a blunt take, "So much plastic surgery."
Comments about cosmetic work kept rolling in. One critic declared, "Should have never got a face lift.......looks weird," while another individual accused, "CC ruined her looks with plastic surgery!! 😳"
Some thought both stars had gone too far, as one person claimed, "Their plastic surgery is starting to resemble each others. Courtney Cox barely resembles herself anymore! She was so pretty. Such a shame that these actors do this to themselves."
