Good Morning America host Michael Strahan closed the iconic gap between his front teeth on Tuesday, sharing a video of the procedure with his fans.

Strahan noted in the video that many fans and loved ones have adviced him not to get rid of the defining feature, yet he explained this is something he wanted to do for himself.

Dr. Lee Gause at Smile Design Manhattan performed the procedure, who specifically gifted Strahan with a temporary removable dental piece, according to TMZ.

“It’ll be 50 years in the making,” he cracked in the video, later exclaiming, “I love it! Holy fuck!” with a large smile on his face.

Some fans and Twitter users were quick to note that April 1, or April Fools’ Day, is just around the corner, especially as just last week, Strahan wrote that he rocks his “gap with pride.”

“I rock my gap with pride! It’s who I am!” Strahan wrote. “Which of my friends do you think can rock it with me???”

Dr. Gause, however, seemed to confirm the that procedure was legitimate in a statement to E! News, saying, “There are lots of miraculous things that can be done with cosmetic dentistry and Michael Strahan has probably the most signature gap on television. It just shows the miracles that are possible with cosmetic dentistry to be able to close a gap that is the size of Michael Strahan’s. I think he looks great. I think he was pretty excited about it.”
