Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper recently spoke out about rumors regarding plastic surgery, finally setting the record straight. Fans had been speculating that Cooper had changed his appearance after noticing his smoother skin and sharper features during press appearances for his latest film, Is This Thing On?. Social media users debated whether he had cosmetic work done, comparing his new look to other celebrities.
Bradley Cooper Speaks Out About Plastic Surgery Rumors
During a recent appearance on the SmartLess podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, Cooper denied having plastic surgery. He explained that while people frequently comment on his appearance, he has not gone under the knife. Arnett confirmed that everyone assumes Cooper had cosmetic procedures, but that is not true. Cooper said that he often hears people complimenting his looks, but the rumors frustrate him because they are not accurate.
Some experts suggested that Cooper’s changed appearance could be the result of subtle cosmetic procedures, like jawline tightening or a minor facelift. However, Cooper has explained in the past that his appearance changes are often due to acting roles. For instance, in the 2023 film Maestro, Cooper used a prosthetic nose to accurately portray composer Leonard Bernstein. He emphasized that the prosthetic was for authenticity, not cosmetic enhancement, showing his dedication to his craft.
Currently, Cooper is promoting Is This Thing On?, a film he directed starring Laura Dern and Will Arnett. The movie explores the challenges of middle-aged life and the slow breakdown of a marriage, focusing on love, family, and identity. Cooper’s visibility during these promotions has brought extra attention to his appearance, which fueled the recent speculation online.
Outside of work, Cooper has been seen with model Gigi Hadid, his reported girlfriend since October 2023. The couple attended a Broadway performance of Waiting for Godot together in December 2024. Despite public scrutiny, Cooper continues to focus on his acting and directing career, proving that rumors about his looks will not distract him from his work.
