Similar to other actors in Hollywood, it took David Schwimmer time to climb the mountain. Early on, Schwimmer had a negative perception of Hollywood. So much so, that Schwimmer almost banned his Friends offer because of a traumatic experience on another sitcom, Monty.
Thankfully, Schwimmer reconsidered, and his career flourished thanks to Friends. However, fans did notice certain changes in the actor along the way, especially during the Friends Reunion.
In the following, we’re going to speculate at the changes David Schwimmer might’ve made to his face along the way. It should be noted that Schwimmer himself never confirmed any of this, and it is just speculation from fans and media.
We’ll reveal what Schwimmer might’ve done, and his thoughts on the success he was able to enjoy in Hollywood. According to Schwimmer, he understood his ‘privilege’ compared to others. We’ll take a closer look at that statement.
Let’s get started.
Fans Noticed A Change To David Schwimmer’s Nose During His Pre-Hollywood Fame, Compared To His Later Days
Looking at the cast of Friends, particularly during the reunion, it seemed evident certain changes were made to their faces – though it could’ve also been the excessive amount of makeup. Nonetheless, Pinkvilla explored David Schwimmer’s surgery secrets. According to the publication, Schwimmer’s nose in particular changed along the years.
“Observers have noted that when comparing images from David’s earlier years, such as those from his school days, to more recent photographs, there appears to be a subtle difference in the appearance of his nose. Specifically, some have pointed out that the base of his nose, including the nostrils and tip, appears slightly slimmer in recent photos.”
David Schwimmer did not confirm whether or not this is true, and it appears to be nothing but speculation. Even if Schwimmer went under the knife, it would be noted that his nose stayed ‘natural-looking.’
Fans and the publication suggest that the actor also did other work throughout his journey in Hollywood, perhaps in an effort to keep his youthful look.
Speculation Suggests David Schwimmer Did More Than Just Change His Nose
Among the other suggestions is that David Schwimmer took on Botox in order to maintain his youthful looks. Again, this was never confirmed by the actor himself, or anyone on his team. A face-lift was also rumored to have taken place.
Pinkvilla writes, “Rumors regarding David Schwimmer’s plastic surgery haven’t been confined solely to his forehead, eyes, and nose; there have also been persistent discussions about the possibility of him having undergone a face upliftment surgery. Some people have noted the overall tautness and youthful appearance of his facial skin in recent years, which has sparked gossip about whether he may have opted for a facelift to maintain his age-defying looks”
Unfortunately for Schwimmer, X was buzzing during the Friends Reunion, particularly because of his different look. Some felt as though the actor went overboard with treatments in an effort to reverse the aging process.
One fan wrote on X, “Jeez the whole cast of friends looks almost unrecognizable because of plastic surgery I think that David Schwimmer is the worst and Matt LeBlanc is the only one who looks mostly normal.”
Despite the negativity, Schwimmer once again remained silent pertaining to the issues presented about his look. However, the actor has been honest in the past about his privileges of being a while male in Hollywood.
David Schwimmer Admits His Background Was A Factor In His Hollywood Success
Given his background, David Schwimmer fully understood the advantages he had over others in Hollywood. Speaking alongside The Guardian, David Schwimmer revealed, “I’m very aware of my privilege as a heterosexual white male.”
He continues, “My mom was a very vocal, groundbreaking feminist activist lawyer [and occasional actor]. So my earliest memories of theatre were watching these feminist productions that my mom was in and being on the picket line with my parents and fighting for women’s rights and gay rights.”
“That’s the environment I grew up in. I’m very aware of my own privilege as a heterosexual white male whose parents were able to pay for a private education for me. I’ve always felt a sense of responsibility to give back and to call things out if I see an abuse of power.”
Schwimmer was also very aware of the lack of diversity featured on Friends during its run.
“Maybe there should be an all-black Friends or an all-Asian Friends,” Schwimmer says. “But I was well aware of the lack of diversity and I campaigned for years to have Ross date women of colour. One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian American woman, and later I dated African American women. That was a very conscious push on my part.”
