Jessica Simpson surprised fans with a dramatically altered appearance in the new Hulu series All’s Fair. To portray Lee-Ann, a character who suffers from botched plastic surgery, Simpson wore extensive facial prosthetics.
This role marks Simpson’s first acting appearance in over ten years. She explained to Entertainment Tonight the physical demands of the process: “Filming All’s Fair was incredible. I had a blast. I did eight hours of prosthetics, so it was very intense.”
“I really embody someone that I am not, so I was definitely acting,” Jessica added.
In flashbacks, Simpson’s character falls in love with a rock star and engages in an intense relationship. After turning 40, the man advises that she should have surgery. Things take a turn for the worse when the surgery goes wrong, leading her to seek legal aid from Kim Kardashian’s character, Allura Grant.
Despite the botched surgeries, the character eventually wins a major court case with her legal team’s help.
This role has showcased a bold new facet of Jessica Simpson’s career by challenging her with intense physical effects and complex character work.
