Rosie O’Donnell will never shy away from pulling back the curtain on her inner world.
After the 64-year-old recently shared she underwent a face lift in January, O’Donnell revealed why she decided to share the news—including the before and after images—publicly.
“Authenticity is the goal in these days and times,” she told E! News at the 2026 Tony Awards. “And I think all that matters is truth and love, and so I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated emotions I had about it.”
In fact, the actress—who wore a black, gold and grey, geometrically-patterned suit to the annual award show—shared that her youngest child, Clay, wasn’t the biggest fan of the idea of the procedure in the first place.
“My little autistic 13-year-old said to me, ‘If you do it, I would not be able to respect you ever again,'” O’Donnell said. “And that put me off it for a few months, but then when I went and did it in January, I came home 10 days later, and they never noticed.”
