Steve Bannon got to enjoy his own little glam squad makeover ahead of his ’60 Minutes’ interview, which will air this Sunday on CBS.
The recently departed White House Chief Strategist, 63, was free of the normal blemishes and discolorations that cover his face for the sit-down with Charlie Rose, showing off a never-before-seen even complexion.
This was most noticeable on his nose, which was transformed from deep red to a peach-like flesh tone.
Bannon’s greasy and mopish hair was also cleaned up for the interview, appearing pushed back from his face and neatly parted.
There were still some signs of the old Bannon however, most noticeably in his blood-shot eyes.

Bannon sat down with ’60 Minutes’ host Charlie Rose for the first time since leaving the White House, and had harsh words for those insiders who would side against the president, casting himself as the ultimate loyalist.
‘When you side with a man, you side with him,’ Bannon said.
He said he was ‘proud to come out and try to defend President Trump in the media’ following Trump’s comments on Charlottesville.
The president was widely criticized after calling out violence on ‘both sides’ after clashes between neo-Nazis and counter-protesters.
He called out economic advisor Gary Cohn and ‘other people’ at the White House, whose exasperation with Trump for his handling of the situation made it into the press.
‘You can tell him, “Hey, maybe you can do it a better way.” But if you’re gonna break, then resign. If you’re going to break with him, resign. The stuff that was leaked out that week by certain members of the White House I thought was unacceptable. If you find it unacceptable, you should resign,’ said Bannon.
Asked who he was talking about, Bannon replied: ‘I’m talking – obviously, about Gary Cohn and some other people. That if you don’t like what he’s doing and you don’t agree with it, you have an obligation to resign.’
