EDITOR'S UPDATE: On April 1, 2021, Michael Strahan revealed that he didn't actually close the gap in his teeth and that this was all just an April Fools' Day prank. The original article continues below Strahan's tweet. On March 30, 2021, former football player and current co-host of Good Morning America -- who has a famous gaptoothed smile -- posted a video on social media that supposedly showed him getting his gap closed by a dentist. We're not calling Strahan a liar, but a prankster... Maybe. While this video was truly posted to Strahan's social media accounts, some viewers were skeptical that the television personality truly changed his gaptoothed smile. The biggest reason for skepticism, of course, is that this video was posted less than 48 hours before April Fools' Day. Another reason for skepticism is that Strahan has repeatedly said in the past that he had no plans on closing the gap in his front teeth. In 2012, for example, Strahan told Elle Magazine that while he had thought about changing the gap in his teeth (he even went as far to have a dentist do mock-ups) he later decided to embrace his imperfections: More recently, Strahan posted a message on Twitter saying that I rock my gap with pride! It’s who I am! Although there's definitely reason to be skeptical of this video, this clip does end with a logo from a real dentist's office. Smile Design Manhattan also shared this viral video to their Instagram page. Smile Design's Dr. Lee Gause told E! News that there are miraculous things that can be done with cosmetic dentistry. However, the entertainment news site noted that Gause declined to comment on whether or not Strahan's new smile was permanent. Gause said: We were hoping to catch a glimpse of Strahan's new smile on Good Morning America, but he was suspiciously absent from the March 31 broadcast.
