MATT Rife has responded to speculation he’s undergone multiple plastic surgery procedures in his new memoir.
The comedian, 29, sparked rumors he quietly went under the knife after fans discovered old photos of the star with a drastically different look.
In his book Your Mom’s Gonna Love Me, out December 3, Matt insisted he did not get any secret surgeries, but rather went through late-onset puberty at 20 years old.
“Puberty, after its sweet time for more than 20 years, finally decided to hit me square in the face,” he wrote.
“Over a few months, I went from looking like a 13-year-old to look like, you know, my actual age. Like an actual grown-ish man.
“My face got wider, my features became more prominent, I grew a few inches taller.”
Matt claimed regular gym sessions with comedian friend Dane Cook also contributed to his changing body.
“I started every day off by lifting,” he said. “It cleared my head.”
He said the changes from his “bizarrely stunted journey through puberty” launched “a million-and-one internet conspiracies” about a plastic surgery makeover.
Matt accused plastic surgeons who weighed in on his changing face of having a “frightening lack of common sense.”
“Can the medical board please just issue an official certificate telling you to get a life?” he fumed.
He said puberty made him “good looking” – which actually made his job as a comedian “harder.”
Matt Rife’s ‘drastic’ face changes are ‘not just from late puberty,’ says expert – & estimates he spent $10k on work
“As a comic, you’re supposed to make the audience like you, right?” he wrote. “Well, who the f*** likes attractive people? No one!”
Matt’s fans were especially convinced he went under the knife after the release of his Netflix special Lucid in August.
“His jaw fillers are too alarming to look at,” one viewer said on X.
“Matt Rife’s jaw is looking wild lately,” said another.
“What is up with his face?” asked a third.
A plastic surgery nurse told The U.S. Sun at the time that she believed Matt made “some drastic changes” to his face.
“He has a lot of volume in his jawline and could have had cheek implants added and/or buccal fat removal,” celebrity injector Tara Adashev of Neinstein Plastic Surgery suggested.
“It all looks like he has done something surgically, so not necessarily fillers.
“Matt has had something done to shift his face.
“He likely spent around $10,000 on these facial elements as a one-off.”
