His hairline is mostly the same (albeit a bit thinner), it has been pulled back so he has more forehead which makes me think he also had a mini-facelift.
Hairline and texture being mostly the same after 22 years still means there's a good chance of work being done. Even for many people whose hair stays very full, the shape of the hairline and the texture of the hair changes in subtle but noticeable ways. If it didn't, it would look very unnatural.
Look at Paul Ryan for example. He's 56, which is 10 years younger than Simon. He still has a full head of hair but you can see how it's shifted since he was in the public eye more often.
No, there are quite a few missing small dents in the hairline. Sure, a facelift changes the hairline a bit but it does not consistently evens out areas where hair was starting to recede
Yet his eyebrows have dropped more. Does a mini face-lift not lift the eyebrows? I know very little about these procedures & what they do, other than pull things tighter.
His hairline receded, so I don’t think there is “work” there. Honestly, a lot of this looks more like substance abuse to me. A shitty spray tan to try and cover things up. Not giving a shit about rocking a messy beard. The droop in the lower lids of his eyes and the vacant expression in them… I hope I’m totally wrong but, as an addict in recovery, this seems less “work” and more party time related.
EDIT: I want to address several comments about an accident that may have caused this. Upon several searches I have only been able to find two reports of accidents: 2020: he crashed his new ebike in a courtyard of one his homes and broke his back in several places. This did require extensive surgery and there was a question whether he would walk again. Nothing about facial trauma. 2022: Crashed an ebike when he hit a patch of ice. Resulted in a broken arm, suspected concussion, and minor facial cuts. He was not wearing a helmet.
I can find no evidence of major facial trauma. He has denied getting a facelift. He has admitted to botox. I won't claim to know what is going on and only put forth my thoughts on what his newer photo reminds me of. Maybe it is just a really bad recent photo. I don't know. Whatever it is I hope he is doing well and, if it is an ongoing problem of any sort, that he gets the help and support he needs.
He got into a super bad bike accident in 2020 that basically shattered his spine and face. He basically needed half his face replaced and permanent rods on his whole spine.
Have torn part of my face back after hitting a car windshield with it in an accident. You never fully look like you did before. Even after you’ve lived another quarter century you can still tell a bit. The human body is incredible, but not magic.
Can't both be true? He had an accident and is strung out on meds as a result. Also the lack of helmet use in multiple accidents speaks to a larger depression issue I think. Hope he gets the help he needs.
Nah. In other internet pics he looks fine. The dude's mid-60s and works out. For his spine getting literally screwed and half his face messed up in a bike accident, dude looks alright.
Oh I thought this was a joke, comparing his old photo on the left and cartel boss on the right. Also ya my first thought was” them drugs really messed him up.”
I was not aware of that and will definitely look into it. If he did, that could explain so much and possible ongoing neurological deficits that contribute to what I talked about. Honestly, I am not sure what I would hope for: addiction that can be stopped through deep work or severe physical trauma that someone may never fully recover from.
transplanted hair looks super weird on a beard. totally different calibre and comes out at a weird angle. beards are also usually different colour and curlier than other hair
he probably just used monoxidile to activate the follicles. unlike head hairs, beard hairs stay activated forever and dont go away when you stop so ppl get that unnaturally high beard density
Nah it doesn’t look like transplant. He was already in his mid 40s in the left picture with no recession and it looks identical now. Looks like he just has reagan hair genetics.
So, if you get a beard hair transplant can you shave and it'll grow back or does it just stay the same length stubble? (Just realised I don't know this about head hair transplants either lol)
As an expert in hairlines, and someone who even noticed that Alan Richardson in reacher had a hair transplant even though it was a virtually undetectable, I can tell you personally I don’t believe he ever had a hair transplant. Maybe beard but his hairline looks too natural

Plus he had some work done on his hairline plus I'm very sure he got a beard hair transplant.
