Many of you never heard of Charice until she was cast on the second season of Glee. Well now the 18 year old singer from Philippines is making a name for herself because she got Botox and Thermage to make her round face more narrow for her Glee debut. According to what Vicki Belo told ABS-CBN Television, “Charice’s face, I’ve been noticing, it’s been getting wider… That’s why she looks mataba, although the body is very small, because your face is getting wide. One of the reasons for that, nagchew-chewing gum [siya]… Our chewing muscles, if you chew a lot of gums, it gets bigger.†So now that she has gotten the work done, she will no longer chew gum. Maybe she should have tried quitting gum and did some jaw exercises before getting the cosmetic procedure.
Charice said she decided to get it because, “”All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure.” Well I wonder how much pressure she is going to feel when she can’t show as much as emotion because of the Botox. She is way too young to have gotten any work done because they say once you start, you can’t stop. I really hope this role was worth it for her because I am not sure after hearing what she did if I will be able to watch her on the show. She was a pretty girl before she got the work done and she so didn’t need it.
UPDATE: Her rep told Us Weekly she got the cosmetic procedure for a different reason,
But her rep tells UsMagazine.com the point of the procedure was “to relieve a jaw problem similar to TMJ.”
“It did not hurt; it relieved the pain,” Charice’s rep tells Us. “You’ve seen her face – she doesn’t have a wrinkle in it so she wouldn’t need it for cosmetic purposes. The Glee people are thrilled with the way she looks which is why she got the part.”
