If I ask my business partner, it'll be don't do it, I gotta do what I want to do for myself." Before his tooth gap got filled at the second appointment, he said, "Here's the moment 50 years in the making!" After the procedure was done, he raved, "I love it! Holy f**k!"
Many of Michael's fans were in disbelief over his tooth makeover and convinced that it was only a prank. One user replied, "Just in time for a big 'April Fools' reveal! I don't believe it lol." Another sent similar sentiment, "This better an April fools joke- I mean you look good either way but still!!"

The former NFL player also received mixed reactions from his famous followers. One in particular was Heidi Klum who penned, "oh no." Lindsey Vonn exclaimed, "No you did not!!" Jenni "JWoww" Farley, meanwhile, showed her support by noting, "Whatever makes you happy."
Michael's tooth gap, however, was unveiled to have been closed temporarily. TMZ reported that his dentist Dr. Lee Gause "proposed a temporary solution -- essentially a removable dental piece that gives the look of a filled-in tooth line."
