Chase Stokes has shut down rumours that he has had plastic surgery.
Chase Stokes has debunked rumours that he has had plastic surgery.
The Outer Banks star finds it “so funny” how “legitimate doctors” incorrectly claimed that he had gone under the knife to improve his looks.
On the latest episode of the I’ve Never Said This Before podcast, host Tommy DiDario asked Chase, 33, for “the most ridiculous assumption or rumour” he has seen about himself on social media.
Per People, the actor replied: “The amount of plastic surgery I’ve had.
“I see these doctors who are like, ‘He’s got an upper [blepharoplasty],’ and, ‘He’s got his lips done.’ Like legitimate doctors.”
Chase shut down the rumours, saying: “On the record, I will say it, I’ve never had any work done on my face. It’s so funny to me to see them go into the details of it all. I’m like, ‘Oh man, you should probably have your license revoked there.'”
The Valiant One alum has learnt to ignore false claims about him after previously speaking out about against them online.
Chase said: “I used to be a little more online with that stuff, but I’ve realised to just shut up. It’s so tough, but then you realise when you comment, you give them more exposure.”
Last month, the star said that some of his organs were “failing” after he finished filming Outer Banks, which ended after five seasons on August 20.
Chase, who played John B. Routledge in the Netflix series, told The Hollywood Reporter: “I had so much s*** wrong.
“I left that show… My liver was failing, my kidney was failing. I had so many health issues that I had to figure out, and my brain was all out of whack.
“It was a really important time for me to get my bearings right versus just go back into work and mask it.”
The Uglies cast member’s testosterone level was “alarmingly low” for his age, and Chase had his blood tested every other week.
He turned to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy to deal with it.
TMS is a “procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of major depression”, according to Mayo Clinic.
Now feeling more like himself again, Chase said: “It’s been a lot of work to get back to baseline, and it was definitely scary for a little bit.”
He added: “Unfortunately, we’ve seen great people leave this earth too soon for just continuing to go [on], and I have a lot to live for. I have a lot that I want to do, and a lot I want to accomplish.”
