Los Angeles, January 8

Bradley Cooper has finally addressed the ongoing chatter about his appearance.

Cooper recently appeared on the latest episode of the SmartLess podcast, as reported by E! News, where the Hollywood star spoke playfully about the ongoing talk surrounding plastic surgery.

The actor appeared on the popular podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. During the discussion, Cooper spoke about how people have been reacting to his appearance in recent weeks. He shared that some people have approached him and made comments about how he looks.

Talking about these moments, Cooper shared his experience and said, "Some people came up to me the last couple of weeks. They're like, 'Oh, you look good!'"

The conversation then moved to online discussions and rumours about cosmetic surgery. Will Arnett chimed in, saying such comments often upset him and that people assume things without knowing the truth.

"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...," Arnett said.

Cooper previously underwent a striking transformation for his portrayal of legendary composer Leonard Bernstein in the 2023 film Maestro, according to Page Six.

As per the publication, the 51-year-old Hangover star, who shares an 8-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, with ex Irina Shayk, sparked plastic surgery rumours in late 2025, following a series of appearances with Will Arnett for their movie Is This Thing On?

Honestly, the media needs to chill. In India also, we do this with our stars. Everyone ages, everyone's appearance changes. Let the man live his life!

It's his personal choice, yaar. If someone wants to get work done, it's their business. The online trolling culture has become too much. Good on him for addressing it with humour.

I feel for him. The pressure in Hollywood must be insane. In Bollywood too, actors face constant scrutiny about every little change. It's a tough life in the spotlight.

Respectfully, while I agree the speculation is rude, celebrities also profit from their image. It's a bit of a double-edged sword. The public curiosity, though intrusive, comes with the territory of fame.

He handled it so well! Taking it lightly is the best way. We need more of this energy instead of getting offended by every little thing. More power to him! 👍
