After Tom Cruise, It’s 69-Year-Old Kevin Costner’s Turn to Face Botox Rumors as Expert Weighs in on His Looks

After hounding Tom Cruise for his Botox use, the internet has now turned its attention to Kevin Costner, who seems to have joined the club.

Hollywood and Botox have been inseparable for years, and despite the rise of Ozempic, the industry isn’t likely to forget its old friend.

Celebrities are frequently accused of using fillers all because of their unnaturally frozen expressions and facial features, especially under the spotlight of red carpets and flashing cameras or based on one bad picture when they are out and about.

While Tom Cruise has long been a target of speculation about his cosmetic enhancements, now a new name has entered the roaster: Kevin Costner.

Tom Cruise Allegedly Spent an Ungodly Amount on Botox!

While many fans wholeheartedly believe in Tom Cruise’s ability to perform his own death-defying stunts, there’s one thing they often question.

His youthful appearance in his 60s.

For years, he has been battling rumors about how he maintains such a flawless look on camera, which he has perfected for over three decades.

According to reports from The Sun, Cruise has allegedly invested around $50,000 in cosmetic procedures.

Dr. Richard Westreich, a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty and septoplasty, has shared his findings on the matter.

He said,

Through the years, it is possible that he may have spent up to $50,000 on cosmetic treatments.

Overall, I think Tom is just getting started with it all.

I think for most people, there’s an inflection point when the problem gets so bad that they decide they want to do something about it.

In the Oscar run-up, Tom’s forehead looked as smooth as a drum.

His eyebrows also look a little lower than usual.

If Botox is done fairly heavily, then the brows can drop, and this looks like pretty heavy Botox to me on his forehead.

Dr.Westreich further noted that looking at past photos of Tom Cruise, his forehead reveals prominent lines when he smiles.

By 2018 and certainly by 2022, those lines became quite deep, suggesting he may have recently turned to Botox.

He pointed to the 2023 Oscar nominee luncheon photos as a key moment where the signs became apparent.

His recent Olympic appearance also made quite a buzz, both for his crazy stunt and puffy face.

He also emphasized that he might have waited to consider Botox.

Throughout his career, it’s likely that Cruise underwent minor cosmetic procedures, such as functional rhinoplasty, laser skin resurfacing, and possibly some liposuction under his chin.

Although these claims cannot be proved definitely the internet seems to believe them.

Kevin Costner Joins the Hollywood Botox Club?

Recently, Kevin Costner has found himself at the center of scrutiny regarding cosmetic enhancements.

This comes on the heels of a significant life change, and that means, Christine Baumgartner, his wife of 18 years, filing for divorce.

Double-board certified, plastic surgeon Dr.

Otto Placik who is primarily Chicago-based, shared his observations with Life & Style magazine, offering insights into the star’s appearance.

He said,

Everyone was whispering about how frozen his face looked.

He’s under a lot of pressure right now to look his best.

He’s doing so many media appearances — not to mention he’s on the prowl again and wants to snag a younger woman — so he’s been a lot more critical of his aging face.

He’s a bit sheepish about it.

So instead of getting advice on what to get done, word is he’s just gone to the surgeon and given the doctor carte blanche — and unfortunately, he’s come out looking very unnatural.

The doctor also noted that the star now appears “overly frozen,” leading fans to express concern about his looks.

Many believe that the wrinkles he once had added to his cowboy charm, making it unsettling to see him morph into a shiny wax model.

His press appearances for the Horizon saga have also been considered a reason for his excessive Botox use, alongside the recent divorce, according to Dr. Otto Placik.

Regardless of the reasons, these claims remain unconfirmed, as the star himself has not commented on his appearance, and it seems unlikely that he will.
