The Heat...
The UK poster...
Getting the (unnaturally altered) picture?
Yup, McCarthy's face and neck appear to have been drastically altered.
Even her eye color seems different.
Neither 20th Century Fox nor McCarthy's rep have responded to requests seeking comment.
And it's not like McCarthy looks all that natural in the U.S. poster either...

It's just that the entire poster has been highly stylized.
Alas, this isn't the first time this has happened to McCarthy. This was her solo character poster for Bridesmaids, before she was a bona fide movie star.

Sigh.
At least we know the secret of McCarthy's sudden change in appearance.
