Andy Cohen Says Joan Rivers ‘Used to Beg’ Him to Get Botox

Andy Cohen isn’t rushing to book a Botox appointment anytime soon—despite some strong encouragement over the years. Among the most memorable is Joan Rivers, who, according to the Watch What Happens Live host, used to “beg” him to give it a try before her passing.

“I’ve not touched [my face]. I’ve never even had Botox,” Cohen shared while making a guest appearance on the “How to Fail With Elizabeth Day” podcast on Tuesday, November 19. “Joan Rivers, before she died, used to beg me to get Botox.”

“And every guy that I know who’s hosting a TV show, mainly all of them are younger than me or about my age. They all have had Botox,” he added. “I look at their foreheads. I’m like, ‘Your forehead does not move.’”

Still, Cohen jokes that he’s the exception. “How about that? The gay guy is the one that doesn’t have the Botox! But I haven’t done it yet. It’s not something that I think I need to do. I don’t know who I would be doing it for,” he said. However, he hinted that he might reconsider. “I will probably do it soon, maybe. I don’t know.”

For the uninitiated, Botox is one of the go-to FDA-approved neurotoxins for temporarily smoothing forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines. Over the years, the name “Botox” has become synonymous with the treatment itself, but other big players in the neurotoxin game include Jeuveau, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify.

Whatever the brand, the treatment is a go-to for everyone from regular people like you and me to celebrities and TV hosts alike, but Cohen has resolutely remained Botox-free—at least for now.
