JOE JONAS, 33, GETS SHOTS TO ERASE WRINKLES

-

OUT-OF-CONTROL insecuriti­es that fuel nip/ tuck obsessions have spread to guys!

Joe Jonas, the middle of the handsome boy-band trio the Jonas Brothers, has come out with a bombshell admission — he’s getting Botox-like injections! Folks, he’s just 33 years old for crying out loud!

Joe claims the shots temporaril­y smooth out wrinkle lines. We’re wondering how many wrinkle lines a 33-year-old — guy OR gal — can have at that young age to justify cosmetic fixes?

And especially for a dude.

It’s true gals favor having a smooth, roundish girlish look. But traditiona­lly for men, a certain amount of facial lines was considered a sign of character and prized. Men with a smooth puss were usually criticized for looking too boyish.

But besides pushing fillers for men, Joe even insists “guys are more openly wearing makeup.” Really? Since when?? Of course, Joe has a financial reason — he’s a partner in the company making the product he claims to use.

Hopefully, his promotion of the filler doesn’t plunge thousands of dudes into the nip/ tuck snake pit.

GLOBE has repeatedly reported on plastic surgery backfires — mostly impacting famous gals like Meg Ryan, Lisa Rinna, Jennifer Gray and the late Joan Rivers, to name a very few.

But some men have tried it

— including Mickey Rourke and the late Michael Jackson — and it also ended in disaster.

Ironically, early in his career Rourke starred in a flick, Johnny Handsome, about a criminal who was born ugly but transforme­d into a hunk by a plastic surgeon before he’s released from prison.

While nip/tucks can be helpful — especially with people born with actual deformitie­s — modern society has gone overboard with cosmetic fixes.

The entire Kardashian clan are poster children for the procedures — and the youngest, Kylie Jenner, at 25, looks totally unrecogniz­able from when she was just 16.

Now, young Joe is shilling for a Botox rival and boasting about how much better he looks for using it. Pretty soon a slew of men will be running around with frozen, freakish faces like too many gals already are.

What’s really ironic is that most of the time you can tell that the work’s been done because the person doesn’t quite look human.

And that ain’t attractive!
