Bruce Jenner shows the strain as he puffs on a cigarette after 'mean' magazine adds lipstick to cover photo and claims he would come out as 'transwoman' in 2015

Bruce Jenner has emerged looking stressed and upset after a magazine published a doctored image of him wearing lipstick and blush on the cover.

The former Olympic hero, 65, was seen puffing on a cigarette in his car while out in LA on Wednesday.

At one point, he had his head in his hands and looked decidedly downbeat.

He was pictured just hours after InTouch magazine released its latest cover, which used a Photoshopped image of the reality TV star wearing lipstick, curled hair and a woman's green silk scarf for their cover. The headline was, 'My Life As A Woman.'

The image on the cover, clearly Photoshopped, however was not completely computer generated. 

In fact, as first spotted by Buzzfeed, the image appears to be one of British actress Stephanie Beacham with Bruce's had transposed onto the image - with make-up and lipstick added in.

Bruce's former wife Kris Jenner is said to have been upset by the publication, with a source telling TMZ: 'She is outraged.'

The insider, who is close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians producer, also said, 'It's just mean to do whether or not it's true.'

A source for the 59-year-old mother of six also said, 'She has contempt for the magazine jumping to conclusions and then altering the image to fit its story.'

Some of the bullet points on the cover are 'Kris panics over his big announcement,' and 'What he told the Kardashians.' 

InTouch made it seem as if the former Olympian wanted to live his life as a woman.

Though the athlete has stepped out with polished nails, longer hair and Spanx in recent months, he has never said he wanted to live his life as a woman.

'He wants to look as glamorous as possible - full makeup with a bold wardrobe.'
