Bradley Cooper has not had plastic surgery.

The 51-year-old actor addressed online rumors that suggest he had been under the knife, noting he has also been stopped in the streets by people to ask him about his appearance.

Speaking on the Smartless podcast with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, The Hangover star said: "Some people came up to me the last couple weeks. They're like, 'Oh, you look good!'"

Will added: "It made me mad because people say that all the time and I'm like it's such a hilarious thing. Everybody thinks that they know. You know you read that bulls*** stuff."

The A Star Is Born actor - who has been dating Gigi Hadid since late 2023 - addressed the plastic surgery speculation after Will was asked to reveal something people don't know about Bradley.

Will shared: "I said, 'Well, there's a lot'. And then I was gonna say, because we keep reading it, 'everybody thinks that Bradley's had plastic surgery.'

"Everybody keeps saying that. I'm like, 'What people don't know is that he hasn't.' Of course, he hasn't!"

Although Bradley has not been under the knife, the actor has had to wear prosthetics for his movie roles.

 

During the making of 2023's Maestro, Bradley - who portrayed composer Leonard Bernstein in the film - had to undergo a five-hour makeup process to transform into character.

Speaking at the New York Film Festival, Maestro's makeup artist Kazu Hiro said: "The last stage, he had covered pretty much everywhere, the bodysuit and arms. That took over 5 hours.

"The last stage, the whole time, our call time was 1 in the morning.

"The other thing was he wanted makeup to be finished before the crew call, so he would appear as Lenny to set up the shoot and everything. That also kind of made our call time two hours earlier than normal, so that was quite tough."

Hiro explained that the length of time Bradley spent in the makeup chair varied as they filmed scenes from across Bernstein's life.

He said: "[We had to] keep adding because as he gets older, we had to add more elements. The younger stage was the nose and lips and chin and a wig. After the third stage, he started having cheek and neck [additions]."
