In the 1980s, it still was a big surprise when one changed the color of their hair, style of dressing or even interest in certain sports. But now with the new technology available to us, one can even completely change their looks.
At an event last month, Renee Zellwegger shocked everyone as she walked in looking completely different from her old self. Although she still is lovely as ever and her great talent for acting has not changed, sooner or later it should no longer surprise us if changing one’s looks will become a common thing. In the end if it will make the person happy then we should also be happy for them.
I asked some personalities whose face would they want to have if they had the chance to change their face?
Dom Hernandez, venture capitalist
I would want to have Benjamin Franklin’s face, because I’ve always wanted to know how it feels to have your face printed on money.
Trisha Verzosa, entrepreneur/restaurateur
I have always loved the face of Diane Kruger, truly a face that could launch a thousand ships. She wasn’t cast to play Helen of Troy for nothing. Her beauty is not one that is loud or intimidating, it is simple, graceful and timeless. Personally, I could never get tired looking at her because she’s so pleasant and delightful to look at. She exudes a youthful glow that other pretty faces don’t possess. It is true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; Diane, however, provides an exception.
Henri Calayag, beauty guru
I would choose to be a lady this time. I would love to have the face of Jennifer Lopez, who was voted “The Most Beautiful Woman” by People magazine. For me, she has the most perfect face, eyes, brows, cheekbones, lips, forehead and hairline. She’s a perfect canvas to any hair and makeup artist. She has perfect symmetry and bone structure and will age beautifully and gracefully! I imagine I would be the envy of men and women in the world!
Rock Drilon, artist
I don’t want to change my face. Not even to the one I had when I was much younger.
OJ Hofner, designer
Shakyamuni Buddha’s face, because it effortlessly evokes serenity, immutable yet transferable, creating a multiplier effect of serenity from beginning-less time and for all eternity.
Margie Moran Floirendo, Miss Universe 1973,
Ballet Philippines president
I would like to have the beautiful and sexy face of Demi Moore who, despite her age, captured the heart of Ashton Kutcher.
Dhang Cunanan, president, Lions Club
Alice Dixson because her face is timeless and she’s lovely with or without makeup.
Nina Boiser, retail manager
I think I’d want to have Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco’s face. One look at her and you’d see all that is good—philanthropy, second chances and family as a priority. Grace transcended Hollywood became royalty but did not detach herself and from all the realness of this world.
