Grace instantly caught the viewers’ attention after landing the role of Shannon in Lost. Since then, people want to know more about her. When she played Liam Neeson’s onscreen daughter in Taken, people began to like her even more. Now that she has already established her name as one of the stars to seriously look out for, Grace is definitely unstoppable.
However, her fame also led her to rumors questioning her beauty and body image. As she often wore a bikini in some of her scenes in Lost, people were critical when she appeared in an event with fuller breasts. This prompted reports of a breast augmentation, which is not unusual in Hollywood that it’s easy for people to assume and be convinced that someone went under the knife, especially if that someone is a celebrity.
She was just 21 in Lost and now that she’s 30, it may be possible that Grace thought it’s the right time to get breast implants. Some who have observed the difference also thought that the implants the actress had were not too big, just the right amount to make it look proportional to her physique considering that she’s a tall woman.
