We’re talking about hyaluronic acid facial fillers — those miraculous-seeming injections that add a bit of plumpness here and there to replace the erosion of youthful collagen over time.
But we’ve all seen in recent years those “um, what’s wrong with their face?” photos of celebrities who suddenly looked distorted. And it’s not just Cowell and actresses, either, though male actors have been far quieter about such efforts (Tom Cruise, for instance, was accused of being one of “the chipmunk chaps” several years back when he suddenly sported very puffy upper cheeks when he smiled).
Tom Cruise, pictured at a Dodgers-Giants game in 2021, is among those rumored to have had filler-induced “chipmunk cheeks.”
