The actor was photographed a few months back attending a Broadway show with his model girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, who posed for pictures with some cast members. After the pictures were shared on social media, fans and other internet users couldn’t stop themselves from pointing out how different he looks, as he’s been receiving many plastic surgery and Botox allegations these days.

Bradley Cooper Attends A Broadway Show & Poses Backstage With Gigi Hadid

The Hangover star has been all over the place over the last six months, attending film festivals, conducting interviews, and more as he's been promoting his latest movie, Is This Thing On? In addition to his promotional moves, he's also been out and about with his trending girlfriend, famous model Gigi Hadid.

 

Last week, the headline-making couple was out and about in New York City, attending a Broadway show together, The Unknown, which stars the actor's good friend Sean Hayes. The couple watched the show, then were discreetly filmed by a fan, and the footage was later shared on social media. From there, fans got to take a good look at some of the changes in his face.

 

In the video, which can be seen here, Bradley is wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and some silver wire glasses as he stands beside Gigi, who wears a chic brown coat as she kisses his hand.

Fans React To Bradley's Facial Transformation On Social Media

Although he's made some pretty stellar accomplishments over the last few years, one of the biggest conversation topics surrounding the 51-year-old's career is his face and its transformation.

 

Over the last year, Bradley has been receiving accusations and sparking speculation that he's gotten some kind of plastic surgery procedure or has been getting cosmetic treatments like Botox and fillers. People have noticed his cheeks looking fuller, the shape of his eyes changing, etc. It's gotten to the point where people are even accusing him of looking like Barry Manilow.

 

Therefore, once the video of him and the mom-of-one was shared on social media, there were numerous users who weighed in on his face.

 

"He shouldn't have messed with his face," wrote an Instagram user. "He looks so different."

 

"Doesn't even look like Bradley Cooper," added another.

 

"They look like father and daughter," noted a user, as another critical fan wrote, "I'm still sad he ruined his face."
