The former star of early 2000s teen comedies, Amanda Bynes, was recently spotted in Los Angeles.
The 38-year-old former actress, now a nail technician, was caught by paparazzi while out for a walk in Hollywood.

New photos of Amanda Bynes have sparked a heated discussion on social media, as she looks significantly different and almost unrecognizable compared to her past self. Recently, the “She’s the Man” star revealed that she had her lip fillers removed to restore their natural shape, underwent blepharoplasty, and changed her hair color to a dark shade.
Most commenters on social media expressed support for Amanda and urged others to leave her alone. Comments ranged from, “A stark reminder to think twice before making your kids famous,” to “This makes me sad,” and “Just let her be, she’s doing her best,” with some even remarking, “I miss the girl we all loved and knew,” and “Courtesy of Dan Schneider.”
Amanda Bynes was one of the brightest stars of the early 2000s, alongside Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff. She starred in comedies like “She’s the Man,” “Love Wrecked,” and “What a Girl Wants,” among others. From 1999 to 2003, she was the star of her own Nickelodeon show, “The Amanda Show,” which earned her four Kids’ Choice Awards. In 2010, Amanda started an account on X.
In the mid-2000s, Bynes struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, leading her to step away from her career. In 2013, Amanda had multiple run-ins with the law, including DUI charges, an altercation with a fan, and an attempted theft.
She was placed under conservatorship, with her mother as her guardian, but after nine years, Bynes successfully petitioned to end the conservatorship.
In 2019, after completing rehab, Amanda began living a sober life and even earned an associate’s degree from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. However, after a couple of years, she returned to rehab. In recent years, she has been training to become a nail technician.
