Amazing facts about Gordon Ramsay! Things you never knew about the famous celebrity chef host of Kitchen Nightmares and The F-Word

#16. ‘Wrinkle-free Ramsay’- There has been a lot speculation on whether or not Gordon Ramsay has been over-doing the plastic surgery lately. Though he denies most of the rumors, he did admit in 2009 to undergoing treatment to have the grooves in his chin filled-in to flatten out his famous face. He says he decided to have it done to make his face more appealing to the American audience on the advice from American Idol creator Simon Cowell. He also did it to stop the teasing of his family. On one occasion he awoke from a nap and his daughter Matilda was shoving pound coins into his wrinkles. After that, he swore that he would never have any more procedures especially on his iconic forehead.
#15. “Kicking and Screaming” Before becoming a celebrity chef cursing and cooking all over television screens. Gordon Ramsay had a very different dream, playing professional soccer. He started playing from a young age in Scotland but his soccer-playing really took off when his family moved to England where he played in numerous youth leagues catching the eye of the Glasgow Rangers a pro club who scouted him for three years. He finally got his chance at the age of 15 joining the team on a tryout basis. Luckily for the culinary world but painfully for him his soccer career was cut short when he tore the cruciate ligament in his knee. The final of many unfortunate injuries he suffered during his playing career ended his hopes of making the team, but launching him to overwhelming success at making dinner.
#14. “Cooking up Coin”- We all know Ramsay has achieved great fame and fortune owing to his fabulous restaurants and several popular T.V. shows, but it may surprise you to know just how much he’s worth. As of 2017, Gordon Ramsay is worth $160 million dollars which makes him the richest and most successful celebrity chef of all-time. He also makes over two-hundred thousand dollars per episode of Hell’s Kitchen. But the money hasn’t completely gone to his head and definitely won’t go to his children’s. Despite his enormous fortune, Ramsay still keeps a tight wallet when it comes to his children’s wants and desires as he believes in raising them to succeed on their own as his father raised him. He also states that when he dies his children won’t receive any part of whatever money is left.
#13. ‘It’s Not Ramsay, It’s DiGiornio’- Ramsay may skewer the chefs on Hell’s Kitchen for not respecting the process and cutting corners but in 2009 it was Ramsay himself who was on the receiving end of that criticism. Four of his restaurants were accused by the London newspaper The Sun of using pre-made food. They alleged that some of the most popular cuisine from sausage rolls to fishcakes were made at a food production facility in south London. The most ghastly revelation was that the restaurants were using boil-in-bag coq au vin. “Sacre Bleu!” The restaurant’s defense was that they had to prepare the food this way because their kitchen’s were too cramped. A spokesperson for Ramsay unabashedly said they could have made half of the food in such facilities but would never prepare fresh produce and meat this way. But we wouldn’t be surprised if Ramsay’s face starts showing up next to Uncle Ben and Betty Crocker in the supermarket! .
