It’s not unusual for celebrities or high-profile individuals to get plastic surgery, but with Matt Gaetz’s considerable wealth, you might expect him to choose a top-notch surgeon.
Recently, Gaetz made headlines at the Republican National Convention with a new look that didn’t quite hit the mark. Instead of the fresh and flattering appearance he might have hoped for, his face lift resulted in a transformation that’s been widely criticized as alarmingly off-putting.
Comparing Gaetz’s typical look to his revamped “comic book villain” appearance, it’s clear that his new face has sparked a lot of reactions, mostly negative. The public had a field day with his new look, likening it to a variety of characters that are far from flattering.
One observer humorously noted that Gaetz now resembles “two white tigers and a life partner from having a Vegas act,” while others compared his new face to a “Snapchat filter.” There were also queries like “How do I mute Matt Gaetz’s face?” expressing the general dismay over his new appearance.
The comparisons didn’t stop there—people have compared Gaetz to everyone from the Bogdanoff twins to a character from *Escape from L.A.*. Some even joked that his new look might make him a good fit for a *Real Housewives* spin-off.
In the midst of the mockery, there were a few backhanded compliments. One X user praised the surgeon for enhancing “the creepy pedo look” while also maintaining Gaetz’s “extreme punchability.”
Overall, Gaetz’s new appearance has only intensified the public’s negative perception of him. His face now seems to match the controversial and off-putting image many already had of him. It’s almost as if his new look makes it even clearer just how much people disapprove of him, even before he speaks.
