WTF has Simon Cowell done to his face?!

Just (been forced to) watch (unfastforwardable) Barclaycard ad. His face is all the wrong shape and filled in in weird places. And the colours are all wrong. He looks like a bloody anaphylactic badger FFS.
Why do people do this? It never looks good.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to have noticed. I exclaimed, “what the fuck’s up with his face,” when I saw that advert.

GertrudeCB · 04/05/2019 21:25

Yup, I thought that too....

GunpowderGelatine · 04/05/2019 21:27

Yep, his teeth look like he ordered them off the Wish app

mommybear1 · 04/05/2019 21:31

I've thought this for a while .... looks awful

BeardedMum · 04/05/2019 21:31

Too many people do this but I supposed amongst celebs it’s normal. I saw this on the graham norton show on Friday too. Kylie Minogue and Keane Reeves. Makes me embrace my wrinkles.

princessTiasmum · 04/05/2019 21:32

Too much cheek filler i think too, besides the white teeth
If you watch the ad where he is frozen, [ cant remember what advertising]his teeth are completely different

user1471465525 · 04/05/2019 21:49

Just said that to my husband ,he can just about move his top lip nothing else lol.

RuffleCrow · 04/05/2019 21:52

Fillers

DaisyDreaming · 04/05/2019 21:52

It’s shocking. I watched greys anatomy the other day and also the woman who plays meridith being interviewed. It struck me how rare it is to see someone with some lines on their face! She looks beautiful but looks older than she did 20 years ago, that’s so rare for tv stars! They normally just look weird after a while. Sad that it seems amazing for someone to be naturally beautiful and look their age(ish)

Ninkaninus · 04/05/2019 21:57

That’s not actually him. He’s obviously retired and he’s got some bionic waxwork clone doing his job for him.

JaneEyre07 · 04/05/2019 21:59

I think he's got some issues.... the whole falling down the stairs thing and heavy plastic surgery. I think an equine dentist did his veneers.

He has the look of someone whose had some facial reconstruction done..... sniff sniff, sort of thing.

No disrespect to anyone but when I do see people with "excess" (ie noticeable) fillers I do think "issues".

Facial reconstruction eh? Can you snort so much your face collapses?!

I'm all for having your teeth 'sorted' if they're wonky or poor quality but they do have to be "age appropriate"... and face appropriate, frankly!

He looks like a bad waxwork!

motheroftinydragons · 04/05/2019 22:23

DH and I were saying this exact same thing tonight! He looks so weird! Puffy, frozen and oddly shaped.

It's a shame with people go ott with the tweaks. I'm all for people doing what they want with their own faces and bodies but for the love of god people stop before you start looking like a waxwork.

I'm looking at you too, Julie Bowen (Claire
on Modern Family) and Cheryl!

ssd · 04/05/2019 22:27

I agree he looks... Odd.... But what the hells he doing this advert for, he doesn't need the MONEY??

supersop60 · 04/05/2019 22:30

He doesn't look like himself.
I saw a woman the other day whose lips were so huge, she couldn't close them.

motheroftinydragons · 04/05/2019 22:32

@ssd So many of the mega rich do it. I follow a few on Instagram and noticed the other day that Sofia Vergara, Eva Longoria and Reese Witherspoon all promote loads of products/do adverts.

All of them are multimillionaires several times over with current, successful careers. They've no need to hawk jeans, butter (Hmm) coffee machines or department stores but there they are, cluttering up my feed with their tat. Unfollow I think!

ssd · 04/05/2019 22:33

It's weird isn't it.

TapasForTwo · 04/05/2019 22:35

Is there a link with recent photos? I have googled him, but don't know which pictures are the most recent.

KarenTheCashRegister · 04/05/2019 22:36

He looks like he’s wearing his nan’s teeth.

I also find it odd when celebrities sell utter shite. Do they really need the money that badly?

newroundhere · 04/05/2019 22:37

He looks weird.

And nothing beats the old Barclaycard ads with Rowan Atkinson in...

SeaWitchly · 04/05/2019 22:45

He looks quite odd - cannot move his upper face, only lower lip appears to still have movement.

Summersunshine2 · 04/05/2019 22:45

His teeth annoy me. I've had mine done and they look NOTHING like that. I saw an award winning dentist who matched my natural colouring (after a little teeth whitening) and my natural shape. I just look like I have good teeth, not blindingly white gnashers! What self respecting dentist does that!

WineIsMyCarb · 04/05/2019 22:51

Yes also to why he's doing the money. Surely they're only paying him, say, a few million (ha! Find more downt'back of me sofa amirite?!) Is it worth it?! I know a lot do it "outside their area" like in Japan or whatever, but in your domestic market? Why?!
