Jimmy Carr shows off new look after hair transplant, new teeth and weight loss overhaul

Jimmy Carr has unveiled the results of a hair transplant and weight loss following a dramatic transformation in the last few months.

The 48-year-old comedian was spotted debuting his striking new look while enjoying a stroll with fellow comedian Russell Howard around London's Primrose Hill.

For his outing, Jimmy opted for a brown leather jacket, a shirt and tie and finished his ensemble off with a pair of navy jeans.

His thick dark locks were also noticeably fuller than his previous hair styles.

Joining Jimmy was Russell, who opted for a puffer jacket and jeans as he walked his pet pooch.

Jimmy's latest outing came just over one month after he confirmed that he had undergone a hair transplant and intensive cosmetic dentistry as well as casting his focus toward improving his diet.

Speaking to Gabby Logan on her Midpoint podcast at the start of March, Jimmy explained that some of the inspiration behind his decision came from wanting to look more like he does on TV.

"It's the illusion of being on TV – you see yourself in full makeup looking your best and lit well, then you look in the mirror and go, 'Oof, that's disappointing'," he said on the podcast.

Jimmy then went into detail about sitting in the dentist's chair for 12 hours at a time across several days as they gave the 8 Out Of 10 Cats star his new smile.

"I did 12 hours in the chair the first day, then 12 hours the second, it was like a three-day thing where you've got temporary things on, it's pretty full on," he said.

Touching on his hair transplant, the star later added: "I went into the hair transplant clinic and said, 'I want to look like an Armenian cab driver – the eyebrows and then the hair to start, like a beautiful, thick, hair. It's a great look'."

He also revealed that he had begun to take health supplements and exercising in order to improve how he felt on the inside - which, for the star, is more important than his appearance.

Last year, Jimmy also admitted to having 'a bit of Botox here and there, nothing too alarming.’

"‘I was seeing a guy, getting a bit of Botox, and I was chatting to him and he said, 'Oh I do Simon Cowell,' and I went, 'Yeah I think I better leave,"' he joked on Just For Laughs.

The funnyman also opened up about the simple trick he uses to keep trim.

"I stopped eating after six in the evening,” he explained during an appearance on Loose Women.

When asked if he was working out too, Jimmy confirmed that he hadn't.

"No exercise, nothing, I’ve just stopped eating at night."
