    Something Fishy Going On: Did Nemo’s Dad Have Plastic Surgery After “Finding Dory?”

    Marlin looks... different.

    We’re not the only ones who see it, right?! Does Nemo’s dad look …different?

    With speculation running rampant that yet another Finding Nemo sequel is in the works, the web has been abuzz with clips of the cast and crew responding to questions about it. And that’s when we started to notice that Marlin, the loving father who tracked his only son across the ocean in original 2003 classic has definitely had some work done.

    I mean, it’s totally obvious, right? We caught up with Dr. Ted Hamish, a noticed plastic surgeon with a long list of celebrity clients, to get to the bottom of it. “It’s not uncommon for celebrities to have some work done from time to time. Fans don’t want to see Marlin with all those new frown lines and crows feet, and Marlin knows that.”

    Dr. Hamish tells us that he agrees. “Normally I would not speculate about whether someone has had a procedure or not. But Marlin does appear to have more masculine cheekbones.” Don’t be shy, Marlin! Show us that beautiful new face!

    Fans have had mixed reactions to Marlin’s new look. We posted a picture of the “new” Marlin on twitter last week, and almost none of the replies reference his face. Kids commented things like “Marlin is my favorite!” but not “Did he have plastic surgery!?” Which makes us wonder, are we just seeing things? “It’s really between him and his doctor. There’s no way to tell.” said Dr. Hamish.

    Moms, on the other hand, liked the new look. “He’s handsome,” commented one mother. “That’s one sexy fish.” Get a room, you two!

    As for the rumors about a possible Finding Dory sequel, Pixar only has one movie in production, 2018’s Grapes, about a family of grapes.
