Exclusive: Keith Urban's changing face

In exclusive pictures of Keith Urban obtained by Be the singer looks almost unrecognisable as he poses for his high school photo.

The Aussie hunk rocked his signature long hair and was all smiles as he stood next to his fellow high school students in the 1982 snap.

We spoke with two leading Hollywood plastic surgeons, who claim that his vastly different appearance might not just be down to ageing.

In fact, the experts seem to think that the singer may be turning to surgery to keep himself looking youthful.

“If you look at his cheek contour, you can tell it’s fuller and rounder,” US plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn says, adding that usually, as people get older, they “become more skeletal”.

Another reputable surgeon, Los Angeles-based Dr Stephen Grifka weighs in, “It definitely appears he’s had something done to his nose. It looks thinner, and the tip is more refined.”

Both surgeons agree that Keith's new look makes him look great, and that it appears he's had a lot of work done on his teeth.

“His teeth look better than they did when he was an adolescent, they’re very white. He may have had veneers, or bonding to fill those gaps. The teeth have all been filed down so they match.”

Keith also looks noticeably younger than he did in the 1990s, with Dr Anthony pointing out, “This is a subtle enhancement and done very well. He may well have had some Botox around his forehead and eyes,” he suggests, but warns: “Too much Botox could worsen his extra upper eyelid skin.”

The singer has never confirmed nor denied surgery rumours, but his wife Nicole Kidman, 49, has been more open.

In an interview in 2011 with a German magazine TV Movie she revealed, "I've tried a lot of things, but apart from working out and a good diet, most things don't help."

She continued on to admit: "I even tried Botox."

The star then claimed, "now I don't use it anymore, and I can move my forehead again."
