Joel McHale Reveals He’s Gotten 4 Hair Transplants

by

Joel McHale is getting candid about his hair journey.

For Community alums who fall into this category, it involves regularly getting various cosmetic treatments to maintain their blond hair.

He informed We Might Be Drunk podcast hosts Mark Normand and Sam Morril during the June 16 episode that he was completely bald, adding that it was the result of four hair transplant procedures.

Joel shared his experience, saying, “I had that hair transplant technique where they take a strip of scalp, which was quite painful. I wouldn’t recommend going for a strip method.

Reflecting on his personal experience with organ transplants, he strongly advises anyone considering it: opt for the least painful option available.

“Do plucking,” he emphasized. “Now they pluck it from the whole back section, and it’s a miracle.” 

Beyond mentioning that many opt for Turkey as a destination for hair transplant surgeries because of the reduced costs, Joel himself chose to undergo the procedure in Los Angeles. He acknowledged spending around $10,000 on his treatment and added that the cost might have increased since then.

He jokingly mentioned, “I could provide you with the name of someone in Turkey,” and added, “However, be cautious, as if someone says they’ll do it for $3,000, it might not be the best idea.

As he stressed, “You get what you pay for.”

Besides Joel, it’s not just one celebrity who has been honest about having a hair transplant; John Cena confessed to the treatment in November 2024, following jokes from fans about a noticeable bald patch.

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show in April, John expressed, “You all tore me apart over an inherited issue that I have no power to change. In sync, your chants made me feel insignificant and humiliated.

The 47-year-old man explained that it was nothing to be ashamed of when dealing with his hair issue because so many men experience it, but he would have preferred not to receive criticism about it.

As a lifestyle advisor, I would say, “I find that behavior downright unacceptable and outdated. I appreciate your unwitting role in nudging me towards surgical hair restoration; it’s a testament to the limits you’ve helped me reach.

For more celebs who have been transparent about their cosmetic procedures, read on.

On Instagram, posted by the celebrity from Shark Tank on June 4, 2025, was an open account detailing various aesthetic treatments and surgeries she had undergone throughout her life.

As a dedicated follower, I’d like to share an update: The host of “Watch What Happens Live,” who’s always been transparent about shunning Botox, surprised us all in March 2025 by disclosing his decision to step into the world of cosmetics. He admitted to undergoing the injectable treatment, designed to soften wrinkles.

He mentioned during the season 11 reunion episode of Married to Medicine, “I experienced it for the first time in my life about a month ago. I was only given a small amount.

In a February 2024 episode of her self-named podcast, the lifestyle expert finally admitted that she undergoes Botox, fillers, and laser treatments to maintain her skin’s tightness. She clarified, “I don’t dwell much on aging, but I don’t want to appear as old as I am.

Back in February 2024, an alum of “One Tree Hill” spoke candidly on her “Whine Down” podcast about her cosmetic enhancements, such as Botox and breast augmentation. During this episode, she admitted a significant remorse she holds regarding her breast enlargement surgery.

Jana shared, “What I most regret about getting breast implants is that I’m unsure if I made the decision entirely for myself.” Her advice? “It must be something you wholeheartedly want and not influenced by others.

In a video published by Vanity Fair in September 2024, the actress from Wicked disclosed, “I’ve used injectables such as fillers and Botox in different areas, but I ceased about four years back. That’s the limit of it.

The former star of “Teen Mom 2,” who is a mom of seven children, had a Brazilian butt lift and a tummy tuck in 2016, followed by another tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast reduction surgery in December 2024.

A month later, she spoke candidly about her struggles with her body.

She expressed her hope that her children never feel such intense pressure about their bodies that they resort to harmful surgeries to become thin on Instagram. She considers cosmetic procedures like a nose job or breast augmentation acceptable, but she strongly believes that striving for thinness to the point of undergoing extreme measures is a sign of mental distress. This statement is made with utmost respect for those grappling with this issue.

In April 2024, approximately three months following her release from a seven-year stint in prison for her involvement in the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, Gypsy opted for both rhinoplasty and septoplasty, often collectively known as a ‘nose job’.

The main character from “The Real Housewives of Dubai” openly shared her facelift experience in November 2023, along with updates on her recovery process, via various social media platforms.

She shared with TopMob News an exclusive account of her experience, stating that she wanted others to understand the reality of the procedure, showing its aftermath – the scars, cuts, and the true extent of it. Five days post-procedure, she resembled someone who had been in a car accident but lost to the vehicle, while ten days later she was dining out without any issues.

What led the Bravo star to be so forthcoming about her facelift experience? She explained that, given her role in a reality TV series, it would appear unusual if she returned for the next season noticeably younger than before, which is indeed the case.

The singer has said she has gotten Botox.

Previously known Bravo celebrity has openly discussed her cosmetic surgeries in the past such as a rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and experiments with Botox and fillers. Now, she’s opted for CellSound’s body contouring treatment to firm up her abdomen.

In a March 2024 interview with People, she confirmed, “I genuinely possess defined abdominal muscles now. Lines on my stomach have reappeared that were absent since before my pregnancy. I believe any mother understands the skin’s elasticity won’t regain its pre-pregnancy state post-childbirth.

In response to a comment on Instagram accusing the Vanderpump Rules star of having lip fillers, Botox, jawline contouring via liposuction, and eyelid surgery, Madix admitted openly to all her previous cosmetic enhancements.

She shared on Instagram in July 2024: “Here’s what I’ve had done!”

In more detail, she has Toxin injections in her forehead and neck, which were performed by @theneckdoctor in 2019. She also had a minimal amount of lip filler due to the small size of her face, and a bit in her chin. However, there’s no filler anywhere else on her body and definitely no blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) yet.

She added that she’d update everyone if she decides to make any more changes.

In a June 2024 Instagram video, Jill revealed that she underwent a lower facelift along with a few small adjustments. She also shared that she received a fat transplant in her hands as she disliked their appearance. The process of liposuction from her leg to fill her hands was particularly uncomfortable for her, she admitted, and this was the most painful experience she’s had so far.

The Valley star revealed she underwent facial liposuction before filming the new Bravo series.

In the March 2024 edition of her “When Reality Hits” podcast, she shared that she underwent a procedure to address her inherited double chin, which is often humorously referred to as the turkey gobbler in our family. Regardless of what challenges or weight loss she experienced, she always felt there was something noticeable about it.

After parting ways with David Harbour on Stranger Things, the “Smile” singer disclosed that she underwent enhancements, specifically breast augmentation.

In an episode of my beloved podcast, Miss Me?, I candidly opened up about a personal matter back in March 2025. I confessed that when I strip down to my bare essentials, there’s an undeniable wow factor. However, it’s hard not to notice the stark age difference between my youthful face and my… well, less youthful chest.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 star has spoken publicly about her nose job and her breast implants.

Apart from openly discussing her use of Ozempic for weight loss, the chat show presenter confessed that her 2021 facelift was a regrettable decision, stating in December 2023, “It made me look like a character from X-Men (specifically Cyclops)”.

In 2013, the ‘Born This Way’ singer confessed to radio host Howard Stern that she had a phase where she was heavily into smoking marijuana and became fixated on getting facial injections. She would visit a strip mall in Chicago, where people thought she was crazy. Under the influence of cannabis and alcohol, she would drive there with a friend, get injected with various substances like Juvéderm, and then leave, despite not being entirely mentally stable at the time.

Speaking as a fervent admirer, I’d rephrase it this way: “I went on to say, ‘Now everything has vanished. Just before the ‘Applause’ video shoot, a friend who happens to be a photographer expressed his affection for me by saying, “Lady Gaga, I appreciate you, but if you don’t halt those injections on your face, I might just have to end it all.’

The Real Housewives of New York star got breast implants in 2005, but removed them in 2008.

She shared with Life & Style that she now feels at ease. “Should there be anything that makes you uneasy, and if you can change it, then that’s fantastic,” she added.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I can share that in my personal experience, I’ve found myself drawn to cosmetic treatments like Botox. To put it candidly, I’ve indulged in several sessions, as recently shared during an interview with BBC Radio 2 at the age of 50.

Back in 2013, one of the co-hosts of The Talk shared on air that she had undergone plastic surgery early in her career to enhance the appearance of her eyes and make them appear larger.

After completing it, she mentioned, “The ball then started moving in my favor.” And she pondered, “Did I yield to his influence?

She stated, “I must deal with the consequences of each choice I’ve made, which brought us here. I won’t dwell on the past.

In an interview with The Telegraph in 2002, the actress admitted to having undergone various cosmetic procedures. She mentioned she’s had some minor facial enhancements like plastic surgery, liposuction, and Botox injections. Surprisingly, she found that none of these treatments were effective in achieving her desired results.

In 2007, the actress shared with People magazine that she had corrected a deviated septum, which she considered the best decision she ever made. She confessed that for the first time in years, she slept like a newborn baby. Regarding other speculations, she admitted that, although not very exciting, they were still her own stories to tell. All of it, she emphasized, was still hers.

In the year 2010, one of the stars from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” publicly disclosed her decision to undergo a rhinoplasty (nose job), mastopexy (breast lift), and liposuction.

“I’m very comfortable and confident in myself,” she told People. “I just wanted a tune up.”

In 2015, the reality star referred to Dr. Lenny Hochstein as her “breast deity,” due to his work on her well-shaped breasts. Notably, this television personality has been transparent about her other cosmetic enhancements, such as a tummy tuck and lip augmentation.

At the age of 24, the star from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” got her lips filled with silicone. In 2010, she decided to have some of that injected material taken out.

Back in 2013, I shared my thoughts on a popular talk show called Today, expressing my fascination over its massive popularity. It’s incredible how many women have adopted the trend of enhancing their lips, and here I am, feeling like an early adopter! In fact, I was among the first to try it out and speak openly about it. Looking back, if given another chance, I would definitely do it again. You could say my lips have paved the way for a career of their own, as they catapulted me into the spotlight before I had any other professional accomplishments!

In 2009, at the age of 23, the actress from “Hills” underwent a comprehensive makeover involving 10 cosmetic surgeries performed all in one day. Besides Botox, chin reshaping, and a rhinoplasty, the reality TV personality also opted for lip augmentation using fat injections.

In the April 2015 edition of Vogue magazine, the Australian rapper openly admitted to having undergone a breast augmentation four months prior. She candidly confessed that this was something she had contemplated for her entire life.

In her 2018 memoir titled “Perfect Is Boring”, the supermodel disclosed that she opted for cosmetic surgery early in her career to alleviate an itchy sensation caused by growing bones in her nose. She mentioned in her book that although she could breathe normally, she still chose to undergo this procedure. She openly admitted to having fake hair and a reshaped nose as well.

The founder of SKKN expressed to Allure magazine for its August 2022 issue that she deeply values appearance and takes it very seriously. In fact, she might care more than most individuals on Earth. Balancing motherhood, school, and all the other responsibilities can be challenging, but even when tired at day’s end, she dedicates time to her beauty routines. Typically, she performs skin treatments late in the night, once everyone else is asleep.

Kim admitted that she’s had a small amount of Botox, but she’s not used lip or cheek fillers. She clarified, “I’ve never used fillers. I’ve never filled my lips or cheeks with anything.

During an Instagram Story Q&A session on August 2022, the reality TV star candidly addressed a fan’s inquiry about her chest. “I’m going to be honest with y’all,” Kristin started off her reply. “After nursing all three of my children, I decided to give myself a little boost.

While The Hills alum isn’t opposed to cosmetic procedures, she admitted she’s “never done” Botox.

She wrote: “It doesn’t suit my style. However, I have noticed it looking fantastic on others.” Her worry is that we don’t fully understand its long-term impacts (specifically, after 20 years) and she believes that our faces are like muscles, so they should be exercised just as we would any other muscle.
