PHOTO | The former child star looks unrecognizable: "Drugs and alcohol have taken their toll"
The American actress Amanda Bynes was a favorite child star, starring in the hit comedies She's the Man and What a Girl Wants. Over time, she developed an addiction to alcohol and drugs and completely changed her physical appearance.
Bynes has now been spotted on the streets of Los Angeles, acting unrecognizable. The actress had blonde hair for a long time, and now she dyed it black. She looks moody in the photos, but she doesn't seem to have paid attention to the paparazzi.
To recall, Amanda Bynes was in rehab for addiction, which she says she no longer struggles with. However, her past has left a mark on her appearance and she no longer looks anywhere near the way she did at the height of her career.
In 2012, the actress was arrested for driving under the influence of opiates, and a year later she was caught smoking marijuana in the lobby of the building where she lived at the time. That day she threw a glass bong at the police.
Later that year, she set a fire in front of the house of people she didn't know, so she was placed in custody. She was under supervision for nine years, and last year a judge ruled she was capable of taking care of herself and her custody was terminated.
Last year, Bynes ended up in a psychiatric hospital for walking naked on the street.
