As a seasoned observer of celebrity transformations, I must say, Jimmy Carr’s journey to self-improvement is nothing short of captivating. It’s fascinating how he approaches his physical appearance with such humor and candidness, making it less about vanity and more about personal satisfaction.


Jimmy Carr has been transparent about his surgeries throughout the years, and it’s clear that his looks have undergone a significant transformation since he rose to prominence in the early 2000s.

The humorist from Channel 4, who’s 52 years old, has consistently taken his fondness for cosmetic treatments in stride and even uses self-deprecating humor to poke fun at himself regarding this topic.

Previously, the presenter of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown admitted to undergoing various cosmetic procedures, such as a hair transplant, dental veneers, and Botox injections.

It seems that Jimmy is content with his looks now, as he’s disclosed that his own plastic surgeon discourages specific procedures for him.

2021 saw the celebrity disclose his struggle with a ‘middle-age awakening’, confessing that he had experienced dissatisfaction with his physical appearance.

During an interview on Gabby Logan’s Midpoint podcast, Jimmy expressed that he chose to modify his physical appearance because he felt let down by the fact that he doesn’t look as attractive in person as he seems on TV.

He said: ‘I got my teeth done, that’s the first thing I had done, they’re more than veneers. I got every tooth in my head done in one sitting.

On the initial day, I spent 12 hours seated, and followed by another 12 hours the next day. It felt more like an extended, three-day session involving temporary fixtures, as it was quite intense.

‘It seems like someone administered Rohypnol to me through an IV, causing me to lose consciousness and feel disoriented. Everything around me feels unreal and I’m not entirely aware of what’s happening, as if I’m in a dream-like state.’

Jimmy has also confessed that he wants to maintain his looks rather than change them too much.

He expressed the idea that ‘People tend to overlook the essence of age, as their skill lies primarily in recognizing patterns; they focus on features like teeth and hair.’

‘The key is maintaining [your appearance]. I don’t believe there’s any kind of cosmetic surgery or enhancement that will make you look better. Instead, aim to keep things as they are – that’s the best you can hope for.’

The star appears unfazed about talking about his methods, weaving them into his comedy acts, and even quipped that his Botox usage is beneficial for parenting.

In 2022, he mentioned: “I consume a lot of omega-3 fish oils, eat healthily, and exercise regularly, but who knows if I’ll still remember everything or where I put my keys by then. At least I can maintain an appearance that suggests youth. I’m counting on my plastic surgeon to ensure my son doesn’t suspect I’m older than the other fathers.

He chooses to confide in me about his issues as I always appear understanding and non-judgmental, unlike other fathers. This is due to the fact that Botox prevents me from showing facial expressions that might suggest shock or surprise, disappointment or sadness. Everyone eventually passes away, but in my case, certain parts of my body will not decompose as naturally as others. I suppose my teeth may be the last things standing among us all.

That year, the star underwent a hair transplant procedure and humorously suggested during a podcast discussion that he might opt for a more unconventional approach – transplanting pubic hair onto his scalp for the surgery.

He said: ‘The hair thing, I really researched it, I came up with Edward Ball at the Maitland Clinic down in Portsmouth. I went to all the places in Harley Street.

Upon entering, you’ll find an exceptionally clean office environment. A very pleasant man is handling the sales, and he happens to have a well-groomed hairstyle.

Afterward, you encounter a general practitioner who offers to perform the procedure, but they are not the right choice. Instead, you require a board-certified plastic surgeon with an artistic eye for aesthetics. The individual I chose was indeed a skilled plastic surgeon.

1) They acquire it from the back of their skull. Completely shaving one’s head left an impression on me, as it turned out to be quite fitting, unexpectedly surprising me.

He added: ‘ I’ve had the same hairline since I was 17, I had a big widow’s peak. I looked like a vampire’s accountant. It was just post lockdown I got it done.’

Apart from the visible transformations, he’s also been very active with exercise routines and has been consuming a high amount of protein supplements and vitamins.

He said: ‘The cosmetic stuff is sort of nonsense, it’s the feeling better. And there’s the exercise I do and the pills I take – I take a lot of pills as part of a health overhaul. 

But despite the lengthy list of procedures the presenter has undergone, there is one operation his surgeon refuses to perform on him.   

In March the comedy quiz show host revealed his doctor will not perform one major treatment on him.

He told the Happy Hallow Jeans podcast: ‘I’d asked him about buccal fat reduction, one of the guys from One Direction had it done, I think it’s Liam [Payne].

It seems likely that you’ll be able to upload a photo, however, they often trim the areas where the cheeks meet the jawline – areas which have been fuller on me due to my naturally plump cheeks.

As a committed follower, I find it irrelevant how much weight I shed; even if I were to reach 50kg, my face would still retain its plumpness, characterized by chubby cheeks. However, the procedure to remove fat from this area [indicating my cheeks] transforms my appearance, giving me a sculpted, model-like look instead.

The comedian mentioned that his surgeon had expressed worries about the outcome of plastic surgery, stating that many people who’d gone through the process in the 1950s often ended up looking less appealing afterwards. Consequently, he was cautioned against undergoing such a procedure.

However, the star now appears significantly more content with his looks compared to before, and he has openly shared that he underwent plastic surgery to align his exterior with the image he envisioned in his mind.

Back in 2021, I found myself uttering a truth that struck me deeply: ‘The enchantment of being on TV – you gaze upon yourself, flawlessly made-up and bathed in brilliant light – then you cast your reflection in the mirror and sigh, “Oh, that’s disheartening.”‘
