Carrot Top Denies Plastic Surgery & Steroid Rumors
19 Sep
Summary
- Carrot Top attributes his changing appearance to makeup, not surgery.
- He revealed intense workouts caused him to gain muscle mass.
- The comedian has consistently denied undergoing plastic surgery.
Comedian Scott Thompson, widely known as Carrot Top, has recently debunked long-standing rumors about plastic surgery. He explained that his changing appearance is primarily due to the extensive makeup he uses, rather than cosmetic procedures. Thompson stated that intense workout routines led to a period of significant muscle gain, which he believes fueled speculation about him going under the knife or using steroids.
During an appearance on 'Oprah: Where Are They Now?', Thompson shared anecdotes about his look becoming a target for jokes on roasting shows. He humorously responded to accusations of plastic surgery by suggesting that his current appearance was the result of hard work and makeup, not surgical intervention. He also clarified that his nickname "Carrot Top" was given to him by a swimming coach due to his red hair, a name he adopted because he found his birth name, Scott Thompson, to be uninspiring.
Thompson reiterated his denial of steroid use and plastic surgery in a separate interview, calling the plastic surgery rumors the most 'absurd' thing he had heard about himself. He emphasized that his dedication to working out was the reason for his bulking up, not cosmetic enhancements. He added that his close circle is aware of his hard work and lack of time for any such procedures.
