Jimmy Carr has admitted he can’t stop getting ‘tweakments’.
The comedian, 56, said he had “gone a bit crazy with it” in an interview with The Telegraph.
Throughout his career, Carr has always been open about getting cosmetic procedures - such as Botox, hair transplants and new teeth.
“Christ, I'm like the Forth Bridge - it never stops,” he said, making reference to the bridge in Scotland which is famous for the tale it needs constant repainting.
“Maintaining is the thing - I don't think there's anything you can do plastic surgery wise, or augmentation wise, that makes you look better, you can just stay the same, that's what you can hope for.
“I’ve gone a bit crazy with it, I've got the new teeth and the new hair - I've had a proper midlife crisis. Like, 'Right, let's get everything done.’”
But, despite the work, he also added that he doesn’t think “he really suit[s] being young”.
In 2020, the comedian told Just For Laughs that he spent lockdown getting a hair transplant.
“I’ve had a lot of work done. I got my teeth knocked out and put back in,” he said.
“And then I had a hair transplant in the lockdown, which I didn’t particularly need, but what else are you going to do in lockdown?”
Last year, Carr revealed he was “close to death” when he was diagnosed with meningitis as a child.
The comedian said he was treated in hospital in Ireland when he was still a toddler and was told he “nearly didn’t make it”.
Speaking on the podcast Where There’s A Will, There’s A Wake with Kathy Burke, he said: “You’ve got to be cruel to be kind … I think that is the first thing I ever said that my mother thought was funny.
“I had meningitis when I was a child. So my first memory is a lumbar puncture in Limerick in the General (hospital).
“I was three, I think, and … I was always told it was very close to death.
“The doctor sort of went, ‘it’s going to be very painful’. And somehow I’d heard the phrase, and I went, ‘you’ve got to be cruel to be kind’, in a little child’s voice.”
He added: “And I kind of appreciated that thing of life, because I was always told, ‘oh, you nearly didn’t make it’.”
