I haven’t paid much attention to Dane Cook in recent years. In fact, in the past two years, we’ve only written about him twice – once when he was rumored to be hooking up with Miley Cyrus and once when he admitted to Andy Cohen that he slept with “a few hundred” groupies in his earlier days as a comedian. Both of those stories are seemingly related to the same issue: he’s a 44 year old man who still wants to live in the bro glory days of his 20s. But does Dane want to look like he’s in his 20s too? Star Magazine says that Dane has been messing around with Botox and it’s starting to get really noticeable, as evidenced by his Instagram and public appearances.
Audiences at Dane Cook’s recent comedy show were left snickering after his set – but it was his freakishly frozen face, not his act, that had fans cracking up!
“When he tried to laugh along with the jokes, his eyebrows couldn’t move properly – he looked like Spock from Star Trek,” said one fan who caught him at the Hollywood Improv on April 22. “It looked like he’d had too much Botox.”
An insider says: “Dane is obsessed with looking youthful and hot, but won’t admit he’s gotten injections.”

The photos included in this post are all from the past several weeks, including Dane’s appearance on the red carpet premiere of Captain America: Civil War. I actually don’t think he looked Botoxed at the premiere… more like he looks “fillered,” as in he’s been playing with fillers around his eyes and in his cheeks. Either that or he’s gained weight in his face and it just looks weird. But the Instagram shots tell a different story, as do these photos from 2015, where he looked as fresh and unlined as a Botoxed baby. So, yeah… he’s hittin’ up the needles, but I don’t think it’s a weekly/monthly thing. Also: we note all the time when women look Botoxed or frozen, so it’s this, to me, is just equality. Celeb dudes are getting ‘Toxed too.

Male or female, young or old, it’s very sad actually. It’s always going to be an outward reflection of towering inward insecurities in my book.

Completely. Plus, if it looks noticeable, why get it? The whole point is to look better without looking obvious…but most of the time, it IS obvious, and then you might as well wearing an “IM VERY INSECURE” sign around your next.
A lot of people at my work get it once a year actually and you’d NEVER be able to tell. It’s when people start wanting every wrinkle gone that it gets problematic. If you just get it done lightly no one can tell!!!
In fact, looking at my older co-workers…it definitely convinced me to go that route once I need it.
Agreed! I want to start using it too but it’s just like anything else such as sunless tanner, makeup, weightloss….one can lose perspective.
Agreed – the key in my experience *COUGH COUGH* is to find a plastic surgeon who does it well and knows how to place the injections so the brow looks right 😉
I noticed his dog’s face looks pretty frozen too. Hmmm, wonder what that dog’s story is. Trying to recapture his puppy days I guess.
I liked him in Dan in Real Life, but that’s all I got.
Agreed. His 15 minutes are long gone.
Remember when Dane Cook was a thing? Thank God that’s over.
He was a thing for 6 months.
When was he a thing? I’ve only heard he allegedly steals material from other comedians and that he is unpleasant. Those references are all I know of him.
At one point he was selling huge venues, which I remember other comedians complaining about.
I too am glad he’s faded back, always found him super annoying.
He was definitely a “thing” at one point. I even bought one of his DVDs…stupid me!
He sold out huge venues and had several comedy specials. He also starred in several romantic comedies before “Dan in Real Life”. He was pretty well known and popular for a while. He got a lot of flack from other stand up comedians which was mostly sour grapes.
All comedians steal material from other comedians. Most recent example is Amy Schumer.
He had two huuuge arena tours that did really well. I went to both actually, and I thought he was pretty funny but now he’s trying too hard to be an actor or something.
Why am I seeing my second Dane Cook reference in two days? Did his agent come back to life?
If you were to look up douchebag up in the dictionary, Dane cook would be shown. He looks ridiculous.
P.S he’s not funny
agree with all of your words.
D-BAG.
Sad
Two comments?
No one is interested in Dane
At 44 Hes still is nowhere
he should rent space out on that forehead
Didn’t he used to have horrible acne scars on his cheeks? I could see where that would slam your self confidence. Maybe he went a little overboard with the ‘resurfacing.’
When I saw the header clip I thought it was Theo Von- the guy that’s dating Brandi Glanville now.
Second pic is seriously creepy… he’s staring directly into my soul… and he wants to eat it… or something…
It is not normal for anyone’s forehead to be that smooth as an adult. Everyone needs to be called out on it, male or female.
Paralyzing your face and injecting crap in it cannot be good for anyone long term.
Hey! Someone figured out how to make Dane Cook creepier!
Lol!
His face doesn’t look normal.
It looks likes he got resurfacing for acne scars and probably fillers for the deeper ones. I don’t care either way. Who am I to tell someone how or from where to get their confidence. Some people are born with instilled confidence, others are not. As long as ‘how’ you get it is not hurting anyone, or yourself, it doesn’t and shouldn’t matter to anyone else. Now, is he or isn’t he a douche is still up for debate!
I follow him on snapchat, he can be funny. But, if I’m not wrong, he mentioned on his fb a long time ago something about botox for his acne scars which were horrible. He also put on some weight.
He looks like a wax figure!
He’s on Bumble–or at least he was maybe a month ago last time I was on it–and he claims to be 31.
Ridden hard and put away wet.
I don’t know why I personally find this funny. I’ve seen his routines not really a fan.
The sad thing is not that his career dried up – one does not need constant fame and attention to be successful in life. He’s pathetic because he hasn’t grown up. He’s a middle aged child who pines for his 20s when he was a promiscuous douchebag who made a slew of horrible films. Instead of trying to mature as an actor and a comedian, settle down with a long term girlfriend or get married, he’s now getting Botox to turn back the hands of time. He has aged horribly so the Botox has not helped him at all.
