Pavel Durov, co-founder and CEO of Telegram, has recently attracted significant media attention not only due to his arrest in France but also because of a dramatic change in his appearance. Before-and-after photos circulating online reveal that Durov now sports a full head of hair and a notably sculpted physique, leading to widespread speculation about potential plastic surgery.
The viral comparison, posted by a popular X (formerly Twitter) account, highlighted the stark contrast between Durov’s earlier and current looks, with the caption, “Pavel Durov (Telegram CEO) before his hair transplant and plastic surgery.” This post has ignited intense discussions on social media.
Public reactions range from curiosity to criticism, with some users expressing that wealth can significantly alter one’s appearance, while others criticize the impact of plastic surgery. One comment noted, “This just goes to show. We’re not ugly, we’re just poor,” while another remarked on the transformative effects of plastic surgery.
Compounding the intrigue is the timing of Durov’s appearance shift, which coincides with his recent legal issues in France. The overlap of his arrest—linked to serious allegations involving his app—and his transformed appearance has further intensified media scrutiny and public speculation.
