Ryan Seacrest Appears On The Red Carpet For The 'American Idol' Season 24 Finale
Over the past two decades, the radio and television show host has managed to become one of the biggest media personalities in America. Though he's covered on-air radio interviews, appeared in films, hosts Wheel of Fortune, and more, he'll always be more notably known for his role as the host of American Idol.
Last week, the famous singing competition series concluded its 24th season, with Hannah Harper being declared the winning singer. Before and after the big, elaborate finale episode aired, all members of the show's cast took to the red carpet to pose for photographs and be interviewed, including Ryan.
On Instagram, PauseRewind shared an interview with the 51-year-old where they asked him fun questions like which American Idol cast members he'd put on Mount Rushmore. In the video, the camera stays zoomed in on his face, where viewers can see some changes in his appearance, as well as his long eyelashes and blonde hair. You can watch it here!
Social Media Users React To Ryan's Face & Accuse Him Of Getting Cosmetic Work Done
Like most celebrities who have been around since the early 2000s, it's typical and expected for a notable person like Ryan's face to change. After all, he recently turned 50 and has been in the spotlight since the first season of Idol in 2002.
However, in recent months, some fans of his and other social media users have been concerned by what they've seen on air and on his profiles, as in their eyes, his face is starting to look less recognizable, with speculation that he's received plastic surgery or undergone major weight loss growing. In the comment section of his latest red carpet interview, they left all sorts of comments on the matter, even comparing him to an animated film character.
"Is he okay?" asked an Instagram user. "Who is that??"
"Omg, it looks like he's struggling to speak because his face can't move," added another.
One user wrote that Ryan's face was another where "trying to figure out what these celebrities do to their face is like trying to find Waldo."
"What is happening?" asked a user. "Truly concerning. This is not aging alone. Don't say it's normal. It's not."
There was also a lot of conversation surrounding the show host's long eyelashes, which are certainly more noticeable than in years past. It's to the point where many are convinced he's getting some kind of lash lift or extensions.
"Did my guy get a lash lift?" commented a fan.
"Why does he look like the beautiful dragon from Shrek?" asked another.
"He has to be on a bi-weekly lash lift appt, and he's addicted," speculated a user.
