De Niro's makeover got rid of wrinkles (6)
I believe the answer is:
ironed
'got rid of wrinkles' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'de niro's makeover' is the wordplay.
'makeover' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'de'+'niro'='deniro'
'deniro' is an anagram of 'IRONED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ironed that I've seen before include "De Niro (anag)" , "Had an evening out" , "flattened" , "Smoothed with domestic device" , "Removed creases" .)
