Sydney - Australian cricket great Shane Warne has denied claims he used Botox or had a facelift, saying his youthful look was to do with moisturisers, healthy eating and exercise.
The 41-year-old, who reportedly had a recent affair with British actress Liz Hurley, has appeared with more luminous skin in recent photographs, sparking rumours that he may have gone under the knife.
But Warne, currently playing for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, said it was nonsense.
"Questions re facelift/Botox etc are absolute rubbish," he said via social networking site Twitter.
"I am 86kg. Lost 7kg and (am) close to being the fittest I have ever been.
"Fitness and being healthy is now a daily habit I feel great and never been happier in my life.
"I am also eating very healthily and am flattered that people think I look younger. I have worked hard over the last five months on fitness."
Warne admitted he used moisturisers to improve his look.
"New Estee Lauder moisturisers for my skin have made a big difference," he said.
