Gordon Ramsay, celebrity chef and star of Hell’s Kitchen, recently received some cosmetic surgery advice from American Idol judge Simon Cowell. His beauty tip? Botox.
Chef Gordon Ramsay, famous – or infamous – for the reality TV cooking competition Hell’s Kitchen, has ‘fessed up. He admits to having had Botox injections…on his chin.
The grouchy celeb was inspired by another cranky British import to American TV: Simon Cowell.
Simon, whose famous frown doesn’t wrinkle his own forehead due to Botox injections, reportedly told Chef Ramsay that he “had to do something about that” chin.
And after a makeup artist and a few friends also made disparaging remarks, Ramsay was off to get a smoother looking chin. From Botox. Which is a little confusing, because that miracle wrinkle eraser is intended more for eyes and foreheads, where muscle movement creates furrows.
Sure enough, Ramsay says no one has noticed the difference. Well, he actually said something that was bleeped out, but the upshot is that no one noticed.
Cosmetic Surgery Bible suggested he consider using a dermal filler, like Juvéderm or Restylane, but we think that his frown is an integral part of his persona.
After all, who wants to watch Ramsay drop the F-bomb with no expression on his face? We say, ‘Work it, Ramsay!’ Character actors have faces with character… so should reality TV chefs who trade on their anger.
Dr Ashey Hague responded:
He’s clearly had dermal filler injections rather than botox. Botox wouldn’t do anything for those lines in his chin. If you ask me, it looks like he’s had rather too much filler as well – it looks a little too puffed out.
