The unnaturally tight complexion he displayed just two weeks ago may well have relaxed, but Shane Warne’s seemingly evolving features continued to prompt questions as he stepped out in London on Tuesday evening.
The former cricketer was in attendance at a Class of ’05 Ashes reunion screening, after-party and charity dinner at Chelsea Town Hall, where a series of comical facial expressions ensured he caught the eye.
Shane, 45, was clearly in an upbeat mood as he squinted his eyes while offering a grin and a playful peace sign for photographers gathered outside the venue.

Making an exit later that night, the sports personality – who has previously promoted a range of hair loss treatments – adopted a rather bewildered expression while venturing onto the street.
On July 4 the tight, line-free complexion and markedly fuller looking lips he revealed in a selfie taken alongside Neighbours star Nicky Whelan raised further suspicions – and a barrage of comments across social media.

‘What happened to your face Shane,’ one of his 173k-plus followers asked, while another boldly stated ‘looking very plastic.’
One particularly concerned user commented: ‘OMG Shane what the hell have you done to yourself. A bit too much Botox.’
Shane first encountered rumors of cosmetic treatment in 2024, but said on 3AW Radio at the time that ‘I have never even had a consultation with a plastic surgeon’.
He also Tweeted in 2024: ‘Questions re facelife/Botox etc are absolute rubbish’ in response to claims that his face was suspiciously wrinkle free during cricket games in England.’
Shane also had a little bit of fun with the whispers, last year spoofing them in an ad for Sportingbet that saw him go under the knife and get a pair of butt implants.
But while he dismisses claims of cosmetic treatment, a New York based surgeon claims the Australian star has undergone numerous surgeries, amongst them botox.
Referring to his recent Twitter snaps, Dr. Michelle Copeland, who has never met Shane, told New Idea: ‘It’s also very possible he’s had a facelift, because in one of the pictures the appearance of the front of the ears seems altered.
‘He may have had some eye work done, although he still has some hooding of the upper eyelid.’
