The Telecinco presenter has been given a new face, literally. Last week, in Survivor All Stars, tried to hide his face. He wore sunglasses, and the production always showed him in a wide shot so that the radical cosmetic surgery he had undergone couldn't be seen. This week, he connected with his network colleague Joaquín Prat by covering his face with a scarf, creating even more mystery around his image. And finally, when the show started Jorge's Diary, we discovered, with amazement, the results of his complete facelift and all kinds of complementary interventions.Hello everyone, I'm Jorge Javier, even if it doesn't seem like it.His appearance was grotesque. He had lost all his natural facial features and expressiveness. The general swelling of his face gave him a rigid expression; he even seemed to have difficulty moving his mouth. He was struggling to consolidate his witness program despite his initial lack of confidence. In reality, it was an excuse to justify what he really wanted: "Remember something and let it stick in your brain: programs, like faces, need time to settle.It remains to be seen how the facial flesh settles, but right now it's as if the presenter's transformation were part of the show itself, in a fascinating mix of horror and morbidity. Many presenters and contributors undergo constant treatments and interventions to survive in the television medium, making the surgical manipulation of their faces obvious. Cameras understand that surgery is necessary; over time, new surgeries are required to adapt to the new standards. correct The physique.
In the past, a presenter's face was a tool for mediating with the audience. It was necessary to convey proximity and trust, acting as a kind of mirror for the viewers. Now, faces, especially on Telecinco, are masks. The same network ends up normalizing fake faces to which the audience becomes accustomed. And thus contributes to the creation of new image standards where the unnatural is naturalized. Instead of conveying authenticity and credibility, they communicate imposture, falsehood, and insecurity, in addition to physical prejudices and ageism. Jorge Javier Vázquez, rather than emanating youth, has ended up possessed by the same artificiality, aberration, and farce as the content he presents on television.
