The following year, she portrayed Bess Throckmorton in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, a sequel to the 1998 movie Elizabeth. Reception for the movie was mixed and it earned over $74 million on an estimated budget of $50-$60 million. In 2008, she starred alongside Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Stop-Loss.
Subsequent Projects and Plastic Surgery Reports
Despite the film’s positive reception, it became a box office flop, only earning over $11 million worldwide on a budget of $25 million. In 2009, she played Fanny Brawne in the British / Australian film Bright Star. The film is about the last three years of poet John Keats’ life and his romantic relationship with Brawne.
For her performance as Fanny, she earned various nominations, including an Australian Film Institute Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, a British Independent Film Award for Best Actress, a London Film Critics Circle Award for Actress of the Year and a Satellite Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama.
She has since starred in other feature films, including Limitless (2011), Sucker Punch (2011), W.E. (2011), The Girl (2012), Seven Psychopaths (2012) and RoboCop (2014). She stars in the 2014 upcoming movie Solace.
Cornish became more controversial after her name was attached to her Stop-Loss co-star Ryan Phillippe during his highly-publicized divorce from Reese Witherspoon in 2007. Her relationship with Phillippe, however, ended in 2010. The issues don’t stop there. There have also been rumors that Cornish went under the knife for a rhinoplasty procedure.
Based on her old and recent photos, it looks like the Bright Star actress had her nose reshaped to achieve a more refined appearance. Her original nose was said to be flat and dull, far different from the present, which looks sharp, refined and has a more accentuated look.
It has also been reported that the Australian beauty had her facial mole on her left cheek removed. Previous photos show the actress flaunting her distinctive mole but it’s been noticed that it’s now long gone. Rumor has it that she underwent another cosmetic procedure to have it removed.
