Bradley Cooper has sparked speculation about cosmetic surgery after appearing with a noticeably puffy and feminine look at a recent red carpet event. The actor, 50, stepped out in New York for his new film Is This Thing On? looking 'suspiciously inflated', according to observers.
Social media users were quick to comment on his changed appearance, with many suggesting Botox, fillers, or a facelift. Critics described his formerly crinkly eyes as 'too bright', his cheeks as 'chipmunk-like', and his brows as 'frozen in surprise'.
Commentator Jana Hocking lamented the transformation, arguing that men often look better with age, citing examples like George Clooney and Brad Pitt. She warned that overuse of cosmetic procedures can lead to unnatural results, as seen in a male friend who underwent Botox before a dating show and ended up looking 'permanently startled'.
Surgeons report a surge in men seeking cosmetic treatments in recent years, but Hocking urged Cooper to embrace natural ageing, saying his rugged, lived-in look was more appealing.
