Hollywood star Bradley Cooper has addressed the online chatter around alleged cosmetic surgery, dismissing the rumours as baseless and “crazy” during his guest appearance on the SmartLess podcast.
The Podcast Moment: “He hasn’t”
The topic surfaced when co-host Will Arnett brought up the persistent social-media speculation and insisted Cooper has not had plastic surgery. Jason Bateman echoed the point, and Cooper also supported the denial on-air.
Cooper noted that people have been commenting on his appearance in public—“Oh, you look good!”—which, he suggested, has helped fuel the gossip cycle, before laughing it off as “crazy.”
Why the Rumours Spiked
Reports tie the renewed chatter to Cooper’s recent high-profile public appearances and the promotion around Is This Thing On?, his latest directorial film. The project was selected as the Closing Night film of the 63rd New York Film Festival, with a world premiere date set for October 10, 2025.
The Film in Focus
Is This Thing On? stars Will Arnett and Laura Dern, and the discussion on SmartLess coincided with the film’s promotional run.
Personal Spotlight: Gigi Hadid
Cooper has also been in the headlines for public outings with Gigi Hadid. The pair were photographed at a Broadway matinee of Waiting for Godot on December 20, 2025—a production starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter—adding to the overall attention around Cooper in recent weeks.
