Fans Stunned by Lionel Richie’s Drastically ‘Different’ Look

In a recent video, legendary singer and American Idol judge Lionel Richie expressed his delight at the birth of his daughter Sofia Richie Grainge’s newborn girl.

While the video was heartwarming, it created a surge of suspicion online, with viewers commenting on Lionel’s dramatically different appearance and speculating if he had done cosmetic procedures.

In the film, the ‘All Night Long (All Night)’ singer expressed his excitement over his newborn grandchild, fondly referring to her as a “diva.”

Lionel, who has long expressed his passion for becoming a grandfather, stated in the video, “My baby is having a baby, and I’m so thrilled for Elliot and Sofia. They are just over the moon.”

Lionel has previously expressed his emotions about grandparenthood, telling ET Online: “Being a grandfather is an exciting adventure for me, but I’m not ready to be called grandpa. I’m Pop-pop. We’re not going with ‘grandpa,’ that’s a bit much. Pop-pop is the name we’ve settled on.”

Despite the warmth of Lionel’s message, online people instantly focused on his appearance, speculating whether he had undergone cosmetic surgeries to improve his appearance.

Speculation like this is prevalent in the entertainment world, where celebrities are frequently pressured to keep their youthful appearance. While some celebrities choose plastic surgery, Lionel Richie has indicated a desire for a more natural approach to aging.

Lionel has underlined the significance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which includes being hydrated, getting enough sleep, and reducing red meat. He has even jokingly attributed his youthful appearance to a good s3x life. Lionel rejected the thought of plastic surgery, telling the Daily Mail: “God might not recognize me, so I want to make sure he knows me.”

Despite the online hype around his appearance, Lionel Richie is enjoying being a grandfather. His attention is still on his family and the excitement of his new role as “Pop-pop” to his granddaughter!
