The question regarding Simon Cowell’s affair with plastic surgery is not whether he has had work done, but how much alteration there has been. The 51-year-old producer and TV personality admitted to the Daily Mail that he has had Botox injections, but heartily rejected his fellow 2007 "X-Factor" judge Louis Walsh’s theory that Cowell also had received pectoral implants. Surgeons have said of Cowell’s look on this fall’s season of "X-Factor" that overuse of Botox has given Cowell an “unnatural appearance,” though in the Daily Mail interview, Cowell insists that he does not use Botox in an “obsessive way.”
Famous men appear to be nipping and tucking their way to a more youthful look. From Steve Martin, to Simon Cowell, see 8 male celebrities said to have had lifts, Botox and other cosmetic procedures.
Steve Martin, 66, has hair that’s been snow-white as far as most people can remember. But with the release of 2009’s "It’s Complicated"—in which a character played by Martin’s co-star, Meryl Streep, considers plastic surgery after her husband leaves her for a younger woman—rumors swirled about Martin’s own dabbling in the cosmetic arts. Surgeons have speculated that Martin’s largely unchanged look over the past 20 years may be due to an injection of “conservative facial fillers and Botox,” though the star has never confirmed or denied it. Martin has revealed, however, that he is not opposed to the idea. While chatting with MTV and his "It’s Complicated" co-stars, Streep and Alec Baldwin, Martin said, “I think there's a cliché of how people look when they have it done. I don't have anything against it theoretically if you don't end up looking weird, like a non-person."
Time’s inability to alter Billy Crystal’s forehead or crow’s feet has been spurring plastic-surgery rumors since at least 2007, when the 63-year-old actor attended the American Film Institute’s 40th birthday bash. But it wasn’t until after his surprise cameo at this year’s Academy Awards that Crystal started winning his own awards for worst celebrity plastic surgery. The juxtaposition of Crystal’s smooth forehead and sagging neck and jaw line have led some cosmetic surgeons to speculate about the use of Botox on his forehead and “dermal fillers or fat grafting” on his now-plumper cheeks. The Oscar-hosting veteran sailed right through the controversy, however, and expressed an “itch” to take on the hosting gig “maybe one or two more times.”
Clint Eastwood may be known for his rugged looks and badass charm, but after the 2007 Golden Globe awards, rumors milled about the "Dirty Harry" star’s possible eyelid surgery and laser skin resurfacing. Wrinkles and sun damage—no doubt brought on by his extensive time outdoors while filming such classic Westerns as "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Unforgiven"—abruptly seemed to fade, although, as one plastic surgeon told MSNBC, “There is no obvious evidence of it.” Eastwood himself has condemned the ever-increasing use of cosmetic surgery by saying, “Plastic surgery used to be a thing where older people would try to go into this dream world of being 28 years old again. But now, in Hollywood, even people at 28 are having work done. Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model all your life. But I figure I might as well just be what I am.”
After Michael Douglas was photographed in Barbados in 2005 with a bandage under his left ear and a seeping wound under his right, rumors sprang that he was recovering from a facelift. His spokesman denied the rumors and asserted that the marks were the result of a surgery that removed several non-cancerous lesions. The 67-year-old actor then announced in 2010 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer, further debunking the facelift rumors. He did, however, admit to a lift procedure before his wedding in 2005 to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who is 25 years his junior.
Ashley Tisdale’s nose job might be the most buzzed-about cosmetic procedure of the "High School Musical" cast, but her co-star Zac Efron is also rumored to have received a rhinoplasty. Pictures of the star when he was much younger show a broader nose bridge and wider nostrils—and unless his nose has somehow shrunk with time, the rumors seem credible. Since the surgery appears to have been performed before the nearly 24-year-old idol reached the height of fame, however, his subtly altered nose has largely failed to get the same media attention that Tisdale’s received.
Although 49-year-old Tom Cruise’s plastic surgery rumors have ranged from nose jobs to liposuction to laser skin treatment over the years, it was all speculation until a “source” told In Touch Weekly last year about the extremes Cruise was willing to go to for his reprise of the starring role in this year’s "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." In addition to a “strict fitness routine and diet” that included “daily three-hour workouts and a low-carb meal plan consisting of 1,200-1,300 calories per day,” Cruise also reportedly was considering Botox injections to help shave 10 years off his appearance.
Burt Reynolds has been plagued by financial troubles this year, but the now 75-year-old "Boogie Nights" star has also frequently been dogged by rumors of bad plastic surgery. Speculators have been ascribing Reynolds’s stretched-back appearance to an overzealous facelift since at least the late ‘90s, but the former heartthrob denied facelift rumors in an interview with OK! Magazine this year, saying, “I was never lifted. I would not have a problem with the truth, but I inherited my smooth skin from my father.” He did admit, however, that he had work done on his eyes “in the mid '80s, after some fights in a film” because his eyes “were not in form anymore.”
