Bradley Cooper has been trending for a lot of reasons this year, and believe it or not, one of the main reasons was his face.

The Star is Born actor recently addressed the rumors and conversations surrounding his face, especially rumors that he’s had some kind of cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery done in the last few years. His different appearance has been the talk of the town on social media, but while guest-starring on the famous podcast, Smartless, he briefly spoke about the rumors alongside actor Will Arnett. Read more about his transformation and what the internet had to say below.

Bradley Cooper Is Featured On 'Smartless' & Is Asked To Address Plastic Surgery Rumors

If you've been a fan of the Hangover trilogy icon for a few years now, you've likely been noticing and seeing the online discourse regarding the difference in his face, which seems to be making more headlines than some of his latest film work.

Bradley, who has been promoting his new film and latest directing venture, Is This Thing On?, was recently a featured guest on the famous Smartless podcast hosted by actors Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and his film's leading man, Will Arnett.

At one point, the Will decided to bring up a question that's been on many people's minds - whether or not Bradley has been getting Botox or fillers, or has undergone plastic surgery to achieve his "new face."

"Everybody thinks that Bradley's had plastic surgery," said Will. "What people don't know is that he hasn't, right? Of course he hasn't!"

Bradley Acknowledges His Plastic Surgery Claims On 'Smartless' As The Internet Reacts

Although there haven't been many reporters or in-person interviewers able to ask the dad-of-one about his facial transformation, the internet has been having a field day with it, as many fans and other users can't seem to get over how "unrecognizable" he's looking these days.

"He's absolutely ruined his face," wrote an Instagram user in the fall. "I'm devastated. I loved his original face with its expression."

"The character in his face is gone," added another. "Everything that made him attractive has been replaced."

On the podcast, after Will opened up the conversation surrounding his face, the Oscar-nominee seemingly confirmed that any plastic surgery rumors are false, and joked about how people have been trying to bring it up to him in person.

"I have people [coming] up to me the last couple of weeks," he recalled. "And they're like, 'Oh! You look good.'"

It seems that many internet users are still unconvinced that he hasn't taken on some kind of injection or cosmetic tweak, but for now, it looks like Bradley is settled in his narrative that he is aging naturally.
