Actress Miriam McDonald HD Photos and Wallpapers September 2025

Hey friends, I’ve been sitting with how to put this into words, so I’m just going to be honest. When I watched the documentary back, I didn’t feel good about how I looked. About a month or two before filming (which was almost two years ago now), I had Botox and filler done. Looking back, I regret that choice. Like many people who try cosmetic treatments, I wasn’t feeling “perfect.” I saw little things I wanted to fix—lines when I frowned, under-eye hollowness, even wanting to try lip filler because “everyone else was doing it.” But what I thought would help ended up leaving me looking less like myself. When I first saw the footage, I told myself, “no one will even notice, Miriam, they’ll be focused on the story.” I was wrong. I want to be clear: I wasn’t experiencing a medical issue or complication—just a lapse in judgment. Thankfully, Botox wears off and fillers dissolve over time. But interviews live forever online, and that version of me is now out there to stay. I’d be lying if I said the comments don’t sting. I may have once been an actress, but I don’t live in that world anymore. I don’t have a thick Hollywood skin—I’m just a person. And the truth is, hearing critiques about how I look hurts just as much as it would hurt your sister, your daughter, or your friend. (Continued in comments…)

Hi everybody! I hope you are having a great summer. It has been a while since I have shared anything on this account and just decided to create a post and return this to a public account (hello to all the new people who just got added when I switched this account off of private!) While I still have no plans to use Instagram as an influencer platform, or to share frequent posts, in light of the news that the new Degrassi Documentary will premiering at TIFF this year and the “where are they now” type of questions that will likely surround that, I wanted to update you all that YES!!! I am doing fantastic, life has been so great and I am so grateful for all of it. The reason I’ve gone quiet on social media is mainly because we have come to value and love the deeper sense of privacy, and had experienced some invasions of that privacy, which Id like to entirely avoid. But I certainly don’t want to fuel speculation as to why I dropped of the socials so I felt this message might be worthwhile! Thank you all for the kind and encouraging words you’ve shared back when I was a poster on here, But for now, I’ve retired from the world of IG and just wanted to share that update with you all! Have an amazing day 🌸

Embracing my tiny and brief step back into the past this morning with a few more virtual interviews to help set the record straight and reflect, and share in the anticipation of the Degrassi Documentary premiering this Saturday at @tiff_net it’s going to be surreal to see so many familiar faces after all these years- Get your tickets ready! 🎟️💫

This morning I woke up with a deep sense of relief. Like I’d just stepped out of a surreal time capsule. These past couple of weeks have been a mix of joy, nostalgia, and vulnerability. Seeing familiar faces, reliving both beautiful and difficult memories, and watching pieces of my former life unfold on a big screen was equal parts healing and terrifying. What I feel most grateful for is the life I’ve built now. A private, peaceful one that I cherish wholeheartedly, away from the cameras and spotlight. Degrassi and everything that came with it lives in a treasured little vault inside me. I can revisit it when the time feels right, and just as easily close it when I need to. People have been asking me what I hope fans take away from the documentary, and the answer is simple: I hope you see that, just like many of you, we were kids trying our best to navigate challenges, confusion, and growing pains, while longing for guidance ourselves. Your devotion and love for the show have meant the world, and while there were countless incredible moments, there were also struggles. Both truths can exist side by side. For me, this documentary feels like the final encore of my Degrassi chapter, a chance to reconcile, reflect, and formally close a door that once just slowly faded. And with that, I return with relief, gratitude, and excitement to the private life I love so deeply. Thank you to everyone who has cared, listened, and walked with me on this journey. I wish you peace, love, health, and happiness always. And please, be gentle with yourselves and with others 💜
