Jessica Capshaw is a talented American actress who rose to the limelight for her performances in several movies and TV shows. But, her work in the ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy was the one that helped her rise to the top.

In that television show, she portrayed the role of Dr. Arizona Robbins. Her character was first introduced in the 11th episode titled ‘Wish You Were Here’ of the show’s fifth season, which aired on January 8, 2009.

Although her character of Dr. Robbins was originally intended to appear in three episodes only, Capshaw’s performance forced the show creator Shonda Rhimes’ hands to continue Dr. Robbins’ character arc for several seasons.

Fans of the show last witnessed Capshaw’s portrayal of Dr. Robbins in the 24th episode titled ‘All of Me’ of Grey’s Anatomy‘s 14th season, which premiered on May 17, 2018. During the course of the show, the audience saw Dr. Robbins fall in love, get married, and divorce.

In season eight, she also got into a horrific plane crash. Thankfully, she survived the crash, but two beloved characters, Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) and Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), didn’t. However, that crash did have a huge impact on Dr. Robbins’ life – she had to lose her leg.

So, the answer to “Did Arizona Robbins lose her leg in real life?” is yes; Capshaw’s character of Dr. Arizona Robbins did lose her leg. As for “how did they make Arizona’s leg look amputated?” green material was used to hide Capshaw’s leg, and it was later edited out in post-production to make it look amputated.

Does Jessica Capshaw have a fake leg?

Capshaw doesn’t have a fake leg in real life. The queries about the actress having a fake leg started after her character in Grey’s Anatomy got into a plane crash and had to lose her leg to stop developing a life-threatening infection in her left leg.

Going more into the topic, Dr. Robbins was initially against the idea of surgeons amputating her leg. But, when her condition became serious, she agreed to it and had to cut off her left leg. After that surgery, Dr. Robbins took some time to come to terms.

Finally, in the fourth episode of season nine, she agreed to pay a visit to the hospital and get fitted for a prosthetic leg. As per reports, the Grey’s Anatomy team had hired A Step Ahead Prosthetics to create “realistic-looking, high-heeled transfemoral prosthesis” for Capshaw’s character.

A special prop leg with a harness for a non-amputee was further designed by the medical lab team. It’s reported that the prop leg was made from a cast of Capshaw’s upper thigh and used real prosthetic components.

In the end, the prop leg was covered with silicone skin color to match the actress’ skin tones.

Jessica Capshaw used the fake leg only once in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

Grey’s Anatomy viewers saw Capshaw’s Dr. Robbins wear a prosthetic leg sometime after her plane crash in season nine until her exit from the show in season 14.

However, they might be surprised to learn that the actress used the fake leg only once in the show. During a Grey’s Anatomy reunion on Stars In The House on January 15, 2021, Capshaw made a special guest appearance.

During that moment, the hosts asked the actress one of the burning questions that fans had regarding her character in the show, which was “What was it like filming with a prosthetic leg?”

In reply, she said, “So, this was a common question. What was confusing was that I wasn’t actually filming with a prosthetic. We only shot with a prosthetic when we shot Arizona without her pants on. I didn’t film with a prosthetic very much.”

As she went on, she mentioned that many of her scenes that showed her amputated leg were done behind a green screen, and the visual teams did CGI on them.

She further mentioned that when she filmed a prosthetic leg, she tied her leg behind her back and then tied a prosthetic leg on.

Several years before mentioning these statements, on March 14, 2014, Capshaw had actually a photo via Twitter and showed how her legs looked before and after using CGI.

Jessica Capshaw is set to return to ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

A familiar face is set to return to the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital as a guest star in the upcoming Season 20 of Grey’s Anatomy.

Capshaw, beloved for her portrayal of Dr. Arizona Robbins in the long-running medical drama, will be making a highly anticipated comeback. Capshaw’s tenure on the show spanned from 2009 to 2018, endearing her to fans throughout her time on the series.

The announcement of Capshaw’s return was made by the network during the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, California, on Saturday.

Alongside Capshaw’s reprisal, the show has also enlisted Alex Landi to revisit his role as Dr. Nico Kim, a previous love interest of Dr. Levi Schmitt.

Additionally, guest stars Natalie Morales from White Collar and Freddy Miyares from DMZ are set to join the cast, adding further intrigue to the upcoming season.

Besides Grey’s Anatomy, Capshaw was part of the movie Dear Zoe, and appeared in a television show Tell me Lies.

Zendaya Is Thriving – Inside ‘Dune 2’ Star’s Life and Some Remarkable Fashion Moments

Zendaya—there’s hardly any millennial or Gen Z with a social media presence who doesn’t know the name. She is currently one of the most prominent celebrities in the West, and she owes a big chunk of that attention to her fashion sense. With Dune 2’s success and Challengers lined up to release in 2024, Zendaya is as busy as ever.

Zendaya is popular for her role as a disturbed teen addict, Rue, from the show Euphoria and as the latest Mary Jane in the Spiderman franchise, where she is seen alongside her beau, Tom Holland. Despite being the youngest Primetime Emmy-winning actor in a lead role, Zendaya is a woman of many talents, one of which is to serve looks.

Zendaya was recently seen in London for the premiere of her new film Dune 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Dune, which was released in October 2021. Given her track record of serving looks on every red carpet that she marks her presence on, her costume was one for the books.

Thousands of fans who were on the lookout for her look were not left disappointed.

Zendaya stunned the red carpet to the premiere with Mugler’s suit of armor known as Machine Human. The shiny silver suit is from Mugler’s Fall-Winter 1995-96 collection. It is an artistically crafted semi-nude armor from the Mugler archive, and the actress carried it beautifully.

Given that the theme of her new release revolves along the line of sci-fi meets magic, the futuristic armor was a daring yet appropriate choice for the premiere.

While the original piece featured the model with a matching headpiece with the armor and a long black cape, Zendaya’s devoted stylist, Law Roach, played around with the intricacies and replaced the headpiece and the cape with a pair of matching silver gloves and a Bvlgari necklace. Needless to say, the actress looked mechanical and divine.

She later changed into a more comfortable look with Mugler’s black draped dress from the designer’s Fall 2024 collection. The simple yet classic look was accessorized with a pair of vintage Bvlgari earrings and everyone’s favorite Louboutins.

While the armor was a definitive standout fit, Zendaya has had various other noteworthy looks in her book as she promotes her new release. From the custom Louis Vuitton gold look in Paris to the custom Torishéju look in Mexico City, Zendaya remains the queen of the red carpet, all while following the theme of her latest project.

Zendaya may seem like a look-serving machine addicted to slaying her red-carpet outfits, but there’s no denying that she owes many of her fashion moments to her longtime stylist, Law Roach.

Who is Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach?

Roach and Zendaya share a long-term collaboration that extends over 10 years. Roach comments that his collaboration with Zendaya has been fruitful for both of their careers and that he is proud to have a creative counterpart where there is a lot of faith, trust, and experimentation—the ideals of fashion.

We cannot, however, discuss Zendaya’s fashion dominance without mentioning her iconic Cinderella moment from Met Gala 2019.

The Met Gala is New York’s most exclusive event, taking place every year on the first Monday of May. Each year hundreds of celebrities mark their presence at the Gala with a line of exquisite designer wear, making it the most anticipated fashion event of the year. The Gala is an invite-only event, with Vogue’s CEO Anna Wintour making the final call.

The Met Gala serves as a platform for both emerging and established designers to showcase their designs according to the theme. The attendees wear designer outfits and walk through the dreamy carpets, showcasing the artists’ vision to hundreds of photographers gathered right below the infamous Met staircase, as celebrities make their way through the steps of the Met.

The theme for the 2019 Met Gala was ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion,’ and the year saw some of the best Met Gala appearances by multiple A-listers. Zendaya, along with Roach, appeared in a custom Tommy Hilfiger Cinderella gown.

As divine as the gown was on its own, the look went off the charts when Roach, with a couple of waves from his wand and a wisp of smoke, made the dress glow up like a Christmas tree! 8 The final result was a dreamy, magical look taking us on a nostalgic ride to the world of fantasies and fairy tales, and it really happened.

Some of Zendaya’s other iconic looks include

1. Custom Emerald Green Vera Wang Gown with a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit that she wore to the Emmy Awards in 2019.

2. The Chocolate Brown Giambattista Valli gown, with a theatric train and a voluminous skirt which she wore to the 2018 Oscars.

3. Hot pink two-piece outfit from Tom Ford with a metallic crop top and a floor length skirt which she wore to the 2020 Critics’ Choice Award.

As a child actor who started out at Nickelodeon, Zendaya has already had a long career in the entertainment industry. However, if we follow her style and fashion choices through the early 2000s, we can observe that her journey in fashion, like any other celebrity, has not been exempt from some faux pas. She has indeed come a long way.

A lot of this credit goes to her stylist, Roach, which Zendaya makes clear by acknowledging his importance in her career, especially in fashion, every chance she gets. The bond seems to be strong, and the partnership seems to be working fine for both of us.

Zendaya’s knack for creativity and an unfettered choice in fashion has established her as a fashion/global icon at the young age of 27. Her impeccable taste in style, along with her ability to experiment and take risks with different ideas and designs, contribute to her iconic looks.

While clothes, accessories, and makeup do add a materialistic advantage to Zendaya’s already conventionally perfect features, the confidence she emits as she walks along the carpet truly makes her a woman of magnetic presence.

Everything You Need to Know about Taylor Russell’s Dating Life and Boyfriend

Taylor Russell is a talented Canadian actress who has already marked her name in the entertainment industry. She is well-known for her portrayal of Judy Robinson in the Netflix show Lost in Space (2018-21).

Other than that, she is also well-known for her performances in Falling Skies (2015), Waves (2019), Escape Room (2019), Words on Bathroom Walls (2020), and Escape Room 2 (2021).

As the professional life of the actress is no secret, what the people are more invested in is knowing other less-known facts about her. And, one of that is her love life details.

Who Is Taylor Russell Dating?

The present relationship status of the Vancouver, British Columbia native actress is unknown. It seems like Russell is currently single and giving more of her focus towards her career.

The possibility of her being single comes after going through various reports from different online news outlets that state the same. To this date, the actress has not opened up on anything about her personal life.

Additionally, she also hasn’t given any hint on whom she might be dating via her social media handles. She has only shared limited pictures mostly of/alongside her friends and families, and images related to her profession.

However, if that’s not the case and if she does have a boyfriend, then Russell has done an incredible job in keeping her relationship a secret, away from the eyes of the public as well as the paparazzi.

Taylor Russel’s Relationship with Lucas Hedges

In the 2019 movie, Waves, Russell played the role of Emily Williams. Accompanying her in the male lead role was actor Lucas Hedges who portrayed the role of Luke.

The American romance-drama movie’s plot revolved around modern family issues and relationships. Its synopsis is “Traces the journey of a suburban family – led by a well-intentioned but domineering father – as they navigate love, forgiveness, and coming together in the aftermath of a loss.”

In the movie, Hedges’ character was shown as Russell’s love interest. Due to their amazing chemistry in the movie, many viewers believed that they were dating each other in real life.

However, all of the speculations were wrong as they weren’t in a relationship. Russell and Hedges were only friends and talented actors who portrayed their characters very well. Although the rumors were wrong, the one thing it proved was how amazing performers Russell and Hedges are.

Quick Look Into Russell’s Bio

Hailing from the suburbs of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Russell was born in 1994. She celebrates her birthday on the 18th of July every year, making her 27 years of age.

As per her date of birth, her zodiac sign is Cancer. She stands at an average height of 5 feet 4½ inches or 1.64 meters.

Born as Taylor Russell McKenzie, she is the daughter of a Black father and a White mother. Due to that, she has mixed-race. Apart from her parents, it is reported that she has two brothers.

While one of her brother’s names is Mason, the other one’s is undisclosed. Additionally, the details of her parents are also not disclosed.

Initially, she was raised by her parents in Vancouver, but later they settled down in Toronto, where Russell spent most of her childhood and teenage years.

Did Sydney Sweeney Undergo Plastic Surgery? Truth Behind The Rumors

Sydney Sweeney is a talented American actress who came to the height of her career after portraying the role of Cassie Howard in HBO Max’s critically acclaimed drama Euphoria. She has been playing the role since the show’s initiation in 2020.

She gave an amazing performance and allured the audience through her portrayal of a teenage character in the show. Cassie in Euphoria has a lot of sexual shenanigans and goes through a lot of relationship trauma.

Speaking more about the show, it deals with different sets of grief, emotional drama, drugs, sex, sexuality, and violence. It also has a lot of nudity, and some prying eyes were keen enough to notice Sweeney’s physical appearance.

And for someone as beautiful and charming as her, the internet was forced to ask some tough questions. Two of them were: “Are Sydney Sweeney’s boobs real?” and “Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts real?” Here is what we know!

Does Sydney Sweeney have a breast implant?

One of the other reasons the topic of Sweeney possibly having a boob job started gaining hype was when she became an ambassador for Rihanna‘s Savage x Fenty underwear line.

She became an ambassador on June 22, 2020. On the same day, she announced the news via Instagram by sharing a picture of herself donning an outfit from the underwear line.

Following that, she shared more pictures to advertise more of her involvement in the underwear line. And those pictures also showed her physical beauty, including her breasts.

So, coming back to the topic: Does Sweeney have a breast implant? Did she undergo a boob job?

The answer to that question remains unknown to this date. Similarly, Sweeney hasn’t confirmed or denied these speculations. Again, however, it’s highly unlikely that she has a breast implant.

Sydney Sweeney believes the media’s biggest misconception about her is her boobs and hair

In October 2021, The White Lotus actress was featured on the cover of Wonderland Magazine’s Fall 2021 Issue.

In her feature, she candidly talked about several things. First, she was asked what the biggest misconception about her in the media was at one point.

At first, she didn’t exactly say it as she was on an 18-hour road trip with her father, Scott Sweeney. “I’m trying to work out how to word it because I know exactly what I want to say, but I’m sitting in the car with my dad right now,” she laughingly said.

But, after that, she mustered the courage and said, “Okay, it’s that I have big boobs, I’m blonde, and that’s all I have.”

In the same interview, she had also talked about pursuing a career in other fields of the entertainment industry while also being an actress. Some of the areas she was interested in exploring were writing, directing, or entertainment law.

Sydney Sweeney is proud of her work in ‘Euphoria’

In June 2019, Sweeney, whose height is 5 feet 3½ inches (1.61 meters), shared a lot of insight on her works in Euphoria during a conversation with HuffPost in a Build Series interview.

She first mentioned that she was initially nervous and hesitant when it was time to shoot her nude scenes. She even had a long conversation with her mother, Lisa Mudd Sweeney, on the same topic.

However, she eventually did the job and told HuffPost that she was very proud of her work on a project that wasn’t afraid to go to that limit to tell the stories truthfully. “The thing about the nudity in this show is that it’s not glamorized. It’s not, ‘Oh, here’s a pair of tits.’ It’s just real.”

“I had to look at the whole picture of the entirety of the show, and I just fell in love with the rawness and the situations and the emotions that all these characters go through.”

She continued, “I always tend to find things that scare me and there hasn’t been a TV show that has really represented a real look at growing up today, and I wanted to be a part of something like that.”

Furthermore, she stated that she fell in love with the arc of her character Cassie. She said, “If many people would read the page, you’d see the stereotypical blonde, sexual, popular, teenage girl. But really, there’s so many layers to her and she’s gone through so much.”

Has Sydney Sweeney done plastic surgery?

Another raising question among the public is if the 24-year-old Spokane, Washington native has gone through plastic surgery.

The plastic surgery talks were initiated after fans saw some differences in Sweeney’s before and after pictures. The notable changes that fans noticed were: 1) Loss of facial fat. 2) A subtle facelift. 3) Little change in her nose, possibly due to a nose job.

So, how true are all of these speculations? Did the actress go under the knives to enhance her beauty? Or are all of these talks just speculation?

The answer to all of these questions is still unknown. Sweeney hasn’t talked about going through plastic surgery, and without an official confirmation, nothing much could be said about it.

Thus, this gossip remains limited to rumors only – just like the talks of her having a boob job. Nonetheless, given how deadly plastic surgery or a boob job can prove to be, it doesn’t seem like Sweeney would take such a high risk.

It could only be said that she glamours her fans with her natural looks, which is enough. Furthermore, on Euphoria, her character looks even more appealing due to the incredible art of makeup.
