A new U.K. poster for Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock’s comedy The Heat is getting recognition for possible photoshopping, since McCarthy appears to be slimmer in the pictures.
Some believe McCarthy’s face and neck were digitally altered for the poster, which came out Friday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this isn’t the first time critics have said the actress was photoshopped for a film poster. She also appeared slimmed down in a promo poster for Bridesmaids.
British blog The Shiznit wrote about the alleged photoshop job, “Nobody is unclear [about] what Melissa McCarthy's body size is - she's plus-sized and proud. So why have the designers of this poster done their utmost to Photoshop a good 30 lbs off of McCarthy's face?”
The blog also wrote, “This is one of the worst Photoshop jobs I have ever seen, but it's not just offensively bad craftsmanship – the intention behind it is downright nasty.”
They also created a gif that shows the “before” and “after” photoshop altering. Do you think it’s photoshopped?
