Grease fans were left stunned when a popular movie star Stockard Channing made a very rare appearance on ITV’s Lorraine show.

Channing’s appearance on Lorraine has sparked a debate amongst viewers, who were quick to discuss the Grease actress’s new look.

The actress, who is famed for playing Rizzo in the 1978 film, looked a far cry from her 34-year-old self whom people are used to seeing when watching the classic movie.

Channing has had an incredible career following the success of Grease, and went on to star in The West Wing as Abbey Bartlet, a role which earned her an Emmy. She also appeared in the Good Wife as Veronica Loy, as well as in countless films, TV shows, and plays.

Channing has never admitted to getting any plastic surgery procedures done, but she has opened up about her still-booming career. During her Lorraine interview, she opened up about an exciting new project. “I’m now in a play on Broadway. It’s been a fantastic run, it’s been long, 16 weeks. It’s a great company of people,” she said.

And when asked about the movie’s popularity, Channing said:

“I don’t really want to believe it! I don’t want to think about that number! I am the world’s oldest living teenager! It is a little daunting, coming out of the theatre with people shoving photos in your face.”

The 73-year-old made a rare TV appearance to talk about her new West End show Apologia. But fans on Twitter were more interested in what she now looks like.

One cried on social media: “What the hell had Rizzo done to her face?!?! (sic).”

“Good grief, Stockard Channing looks unrecognisable on #Lorraine. Such a shame that people feel they can’t simply age gracefully.”

“Oh dear. Stockard Channing is looking a tad scary on @ITVLorraine.”

“What the heck has Stockard Channing done to her face? She can barely talk.”

More people joined the comments on Mirror’s website.

“It is such a shame that ( mainly) women feel they have to keep having various procedures to keep looking youth full. I bet she would have aged splendidly without all the fillers and pulling around she is an attractive woman.”

“I see women in their seventies and eighties and they look lovely with wrinkles and their skin look nourished I don’t know why these celebrities bother why don’t they just except getting older.”

“Is it any wonder that people with more money than sense try to retain a look they had 40 years ago and fail. Leading to them actually looking rather frightening. There is no shame looking 73 and if more actors and actresses stood up to those that demand they don’t look their age then maybe things would change for the better.”
