Peter Jackson Looks Lovely at 'Bones' Premiere

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 28th 2009 09:05AM

Director Peter Jackson has never been one to look after his image or style, as the 'Lord of the Rings' director is known for attending premieres and press conferences with unkempt hair and generally disheveled clothing. That all changed at the premiere of his new movie 'The Lovely Bones,' as Jackson showed up to the Rome premiere of the movie 70 pounds lighter (via Huffington Post), eyeglass-free and looking like a new, groomed man.

After the Oscar-winning director wrapped up shooting 'King Kong' in 2005, he began to take charge of his health and lifestyle, according to PEOPLE. The magazine reported that Jackson quickly changed his eating habits, and even underwent laser eye surgery to help out his vision and allow him to ditch his signature circular glasses.

Jackson's new film 'The Lovely Bones' is set for a January release date in the U.S., and revolves around "a murdered young girl who watches from heaven as her family attempts to cope with their devastating loss, and tracks her killer as he stealthily covers his tracks and prepares to claim his next victim."

I would rather watch Rihanna's "lovely bones".

By Wemdu

I'm surprised he's kept the weight off eating only yogurt and one other thing. He does look so much younger though and very cute.

By MoYenBX

Wow, he has really nice eyes!

By Pandahh

does anyone else think he looks like a young Spielberg - like Jaws-era Spielberg - in these pics?

He looks younger and healthier and from the joy in his face, probably feels pretty darn good too. Good for him! Long life and good health to you, Peter! And may it be forever an adventure you enjoy!
