Gordon Ramsay Blames Simon Cowell For Botox Treatments

You might know Gordon Ramsay best as the foul-mouthed chef who tortures contestants on Hell’s Kitchen.  I know that some people think he’s exceedingly cruel but I actually kinda like him.  I even think he’s attractive and sexy in his own way. 

I was disappointed to learn that he had given in to the trend in Hollywood and had had Botox injections.  I wasn’t surprised, however, when he explained how he came to arrive at that decision.

According to The Insider, 42-year-old Ramsay said:  “It’s Simon’s fault. He leaned over and prodded my chin saying: ‘Mate, you’ve got to do something.’  I was like: ‘F*** off!’ I’ve always looked like Freddy Krueger [the serial killer from A Nightmare On Elm Street], but more people were commenting, so I did it – Botox. And no one has f****** noticed.”

It’s no shocker that Simon said.  He told Us magazine the following: “Yes, I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way. Then again, every guy I know who works in the city has had it now.”

That’s the worst – when you give in to peer pressure and feel like you are making a change for the better and then no one even notices the difference.  It’s a good lesson for doing what you feel is right and now what other people think you should do.
