Meg, 61, first teased her involvement in the rom-com What Happens Later on Instagram in May last year, sharing a post of the movie’s poster.

In the new trailer, the When Harry Met Sally star is joined by The X-Files alum David Duchovny, 63.

Accompanying the heartwarming trailer, the distribution company Bleecker Street Films wrote: “From the star of ‘When Harry Met Sally’ and ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ comes a new rom-com.

“Meg Ryan and David Duchovny star in #WhatHappensLater, a swoon-worthy story of old flames rekindled amidst the magic of missed connections, directed by Meg Ryan. Only in theaters October 13!”

However, while some fans were excited by Meg’s return, others were more focused on her appearance, and blamed plastic surgery for her new look.

Beneath the trailer, one person wrote: “I like that the title cards had to identify who Meg Ryan is and what she was in because no one recognizes her anymore.”

A second said: “I can not get passed (sic)… that she doesn’t even look like herself anymore…”

“Meg’s plastic enhancements are tragic,” a third social media user slammed.

In a different post, one person compared images of Meg today and in the past, and asked: “Good Lord what the hell did Meg Ryan DO to herself?????”

“She was once a beautiful woman. Not anymore Botox and facelifts ruined her. Sad,” a fan replied.

Another simply stated: “Really bad cosmetic surgery.”

BACK WITH A BANG

Meg Ryan is a renowned actress, yet she stepped away from the big screen for years.

Throughout the 1990s, Meg was a household name – yet over the last few decades, she has removed herself from the spotlight.

In a 2019 interview with The New York Times, Meg discussed the reasoning behind her break from acting and her interest in the other side of filmmaking.

“I wasn’t as curious about acting as I was about other things that life can give you,” Meg told the outlet.

“I wanted to live more,” she added.

LIVING MORE

Meg was born on November 19, 1961, in Fairfield, Connecticut.

After graduating from Bethel High School in 1979, she went on to study journalism at both the University of Connecticut and New York University.

While in college, Megan began acting in commercials and the soap opera As the World Turns.

On Valentine’s Day in 1991, Meg married actor Dennis Quaid, and gave birth to Jack Quaid – now a famous actor, too – in 1992.

Meg and Dennis separated in June 2000, and their divorce was finalized the following July.

Meg adopted her daughter, Daisy, 19, from China in January 2006.

Shocked fans suggested that Meg had 'ruined' her face with plastic surgery, and claimed that she was 'unrecognizable' in the trailer
