Kai Ebel has thrilled Formula 1 fans for RTL for years. From the pit lane he will probably look very different in the future.
RTL presenter Kai Ebel has undergone cosmetic surgery. This emerges from a video that the 61-year-old himself posted on Instagram. Accordingly, he had a hair transplant in Turkey.
In the video, Ebel explains that he is completely surprised to have “so many donor hairs,” so-called grafts. He also explains that, logically, he was shaved beforehand “so that you can see where things are happening”, so it has to be done.
Ebel did not show the result in the video. Sports fans will probably have to wait until the next broadcast in which Ebel will be in action. Rather, the video only shows what Ebel looks like shortly after the operation with the many puncture sites for the transplant.
