Confessing to having had a face lift, People reported that Stallone once responded to a question about plastic surgery by saying, “Sure. Why not do it? You have body work done on your car.”

Simmons was no stranger to cosmetics and was known for applying heavy makeup before every show.

He took it to the next level when he underwent plastic surgery on his reality TV show, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, having a face lift on camera.

Mickey Rourke before

In his youthful prime Mickey Rourke was a sex symbol but years of boxing damaged his face, forcing him to go under the knife.

It’s no surprise that Rourke regrets his plastic surgery, admitting to The Daily Mail that, “most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together”.

Kenny Rogers before

‘The Gambler’ singer once looked natural. Rogers was teased when he was younger about being overweight — something he could later control. But he couldn’t face a few wrinkles around the eyes, leading to his admission of cosmetic surgery.

Rogers told People: “Last year I had so many lines coming in at the side of my eyes up here. So I went in and got my eyes done, and I’m not happy about it. [The surgeon] is going to go in and fix that for me. They’re too tight around the eyelids for me. It drives me crazy.”

Simon Cowell Before

Cowell was recently spotted with a band aid on his ear — a tell-tale sign of a face lift. Cowell explained that he “accidentally cut himself” and has since fought back at the rumours of plastic surgery.

But it seems he has no issue with Botox.

“To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste,” he told Glamour magazine. “It works, you do it once a year – who cares?”

George Clooney before

Named the “sexiest man alive”, Clooney once looked extremely different to the actor he is today.
