During his media hiatus, Benjamin Castaldi completely overhauled his lifestyle. The 55-year-old presenter now sports a sculpted silhouette and prominent abs that he no longer hesitates to show off to his followers on social media. Thanks to a strict regimen that blends intermittent fasting with intense workouts, the former host managed to transform his body after years of fluctuating weights. But beyond daily physical efforts and athletic routines, the columnist has also been very candid about his forays into cosmetic surgery to address stubborn insecurities.
In addition to his regular strength training, the presenter meticulously guards his overall well-being with a tailored morning routine. While he says he has never feared aging, Benjamin Castaldi did not hesitate to turn to medicine to adjust his appearance when he deemed it necessary.

An Eyelid Surgery Prompted by Remarks
His first cosmetic procedure dates back to a decision spurred by repeated remarks from his professional circle, notably Cyril Hanouna. The host would regularly point out that he had tired-looking eyes and drooping eyelids. Encouraged by these persistent jabs that eventually bred a real insecurity, the fifty-something finally gave in. “I had my eyelids redone,” he admitted when describing this facial tweak.
To preserve the results of these interventions and his overall condition, Benjamin Castaldi pairs these treatments with a controlled diet and daily physical activity. The host insists on keeping time’s effects at bay, championing a strict routine with no excesses.
A rarer procedure on the chest
This Thursday, October 22, during a TV appearance, Benjamin Castaldi revealed another, far more unusual intervention on his torso. He explained that he had removed glands beneath the nipples due to a birth defect that caused an unsightly swelling. “I had the nipples a bit swollen, pointed, so I removed them. I removed the glands underneath,” he detailed to a set that laughed and were taken aback by the confession. Facing jokes from his colleagues about a modified chest, the host owned up to this surgical mammoplasty aimed at harmonizing his torso. This medical step allowed him to definitively eliminate a birth defect and feel fully aligned with his new image. Today, completely unselfconscious and proud of the path he has taken, Benjamin Castaldi combines openly discussed surgery with rigorous athletic discipline to showcase peak physical condition. A total transformation that he loudly asserts to his audience.
