Amanda Bynes, 39, Looks Unrecognizable in New Photo After Weight Loss and Multiple Cosmetic Procedures
Bynes has led a rollercoaster life since announcing her retirement from acting in 2010.
“Being an actress isn’t as fun as it may seem. If I don’t love something anymore, I stop doing it. I don’t love acting anymore, so I’ve stopped doing it. I know 24 is a young age to retire, but you heard it here first,” she told stunned fans.
Bynes was put under a conservatorship in 2013 after being put on a psychiatric hold following a series of troubling incidents.
The following year, the former Nickelodeon star revealed she had been diagnosed with bipolar and manic depressive disorder, but that she was “fine” after working with a psychiatrist.
A judge ended the conservatorship in 2022 after nearly nine years.
Bynes has tried several career paths as an adult.
She graduated from the Los Angeles Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019. In 2022, Bynes told fans she was enrolling in cosmetology school to become a manicurist.
The What a Girl Wants star revealed in 2024 that she hadn’t yet passed her state board exams, but planned to retake them after returning to school to study manicurist theory and work on her acrylic skills in hopes of landing a job at a nail salon one day.
