Bradley Cooper Debunks Plastic Surgery Rumors: 'I've Never Had Work Done'
At 51, Bradley Cooper is looking better than ever and finally addressing ‘going under the knife’
Hollywood's obsession with aging has led to many celebrities seeking cosmetic solutions. However, actor Bradley Cooper, 51, is bucking the trend. In a recent appearance on the Smartless podcast, Cooper and his friends Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett discussed the scrutiny that comes with being a leading man in his fifties.
Cooper faced rumors of plastic surgery after a series of headlines claimed he had undergone cosmetic procedures to maintain his youthful appearance. His friend Will Arnett quickly defended him, stating, 'What people don't know is that he hasn't [had surgery].' Cooper acknowledged the rumors, saying, 'They're like, "Oh, you look good! Yeah. Yeah, but it's crazy".'
Looking back at Cooper's evolution over the years, his transformation might be attributed to a lifestyle shift rather than surgical enhancements. From his softer, boyish look in The Hangover (2009) to his more weathered appearance in A Star Is Born (2018), Cooper's features have changed, but his commitment to fitness and skincare has remained a constant. Now, at 51, Cooper's face has taken on a leaner appearance.
This isn't the first time Cooper's face has been at the center of a national conversation. He faced criticism for using a prosthetic nose in the 2023 biopic Maestro, but Cooper defended the choice as a matter of artistic balance. 'My lips are nothing like Lenny's, and my chin,' he explained. 'We just had to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe he's a human being.'
Cooper seems content with aging in the spotlight, and his looks have been a topic of discussion among fans and critics alike. With a rumored link to Gigi Hadid and a glowing complexion, Cooper is proof that natural aging can be just as beautiful as any cosmetic solution.
