"Feeling as beautiful as ever": Glenn Close shocks fans by revealing bruised face in make-up-free Instagram photos

Hollywood actress Glenn Close may have lost the Oscar a record eight times, but she aces her Instagram game. Close, best known for roles in the movies Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons and the TV show Damages, shocked her fans when she posted her bruised face on Instagram.

Glenn Close posted a carousel of pictures on Instagram on March 18. She started the post's caption on an enthusiastic note, but she also addressed her fans' concerns and mentioned that she had a "tiny break" in her nose.

"I think this is going to be a particularly GOOD day. (Ignore the bruises. I had a tiny break in my nose fixed.) Feeling as beautiful as ever."

She posted three pictures. In the first, she acted shocked, and her facial expressions were taut in surprise. In the second, she looked playful and stuck out her tongue. In the third, she looked determined and was enjoying herself.
