This<\/span><\/i> is \u2026 Botox? Fans of Ryan Seacrest<\/strong><\/a> have watched him grow up on television, from his first broadcasting gig on ESPN at 19 years old to hosting <\/span>American Idol<\/span><\/i><\/a> <\/i>for more than 20 years. They\u2019ve rung in every new year since 2005 with him on <\/span>New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve, <\/span><\/i>and they\u2019ve started their weekday mornings with him on <\/span>Live With Kelly and Ryan<\/span><\/i>. Seeing so much of Ryan through the years, many people can\u2019t help but notice: He doesn\u2019t seem to age! Could this be a case of plastic surgery<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n Rumors have swirled for years that Ryan has gotten every procedure under the sun, including Botox, a facelift, a nose job, an eye lift and more. In May 2020, fans speculated that Ryan had a stroke during the <\/span>American Idol <\/span><\/i>finale due to one eye drooping and his speech slurring. His rep quickly shut down the rumors, sharing a statement the next day.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRyan did not have any kind of stroke last night,\u201d the statement read, per <\/span>People<\/span><\/i><\/a>. \u201cLike many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the statement, the <\/span>National Enquirer<\/span><\/i><\/a> later reported that an alleged source close to Ryan said the incident could have been caused by a self-administered Botox injection, which sparked even more rumors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fans again noticed something different about Ryan\u2019s eyes and forehead in December 2020 when he hosted the<\/span> New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve<\/span><\/i> special. He wore a mask, but that didn\u2019t stop viewers from commenting on his face.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUh, what happened to Ryan Seacrest\u2019s face I didn\u2019t recognize him,\u201d one viewer <\/span>tweeted<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAm I crazy or does Ryan Seacrest look like a completely different person,\u201d another user <\/span>asked<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Some viewers blamed plastic surgery for the alleged new look, while others thought it was simply because Ryan sported a longer hairstyle at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n While Ryan and his rep never commented on the <\/span>American Idol<\/span><\/i> host getting Botox, his former <\/span>Live With Kelly and Ryan<\/span><\/i> cohost Kelly Ripa<\/strong><\/a> did offer some insight in September 2022. Kelly, who has <\/span>been open about her own Botox usage<\/span><\/a>, discussed the injection with Andy Cohen on <\/span>Watch What Happens Live<\/span><\/i>. Andy asked who received more Botox between her and Ryan.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOh, definitely me. I don\u2019t think he does Botox and if he does, he and I should talk about it,\u201d she joked.<\/span><\/p>\n Since Ryan has not confirmed any plastic surgery procedures, all we can do is marvel at his transformation through the years. <\/span>Keep scrolling for photos of Ryan from then to now.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
