Before that, Kylie Jenner revealed the exact recipe for her own implants while details of her mother Kris\u2019s facelift had everyone praising her surgeon, Dr. Steven Levine. Jennifer Lawrence spilled not long ago that she\u2019s looking forward to having a facelift done in the future herself. It seems that we\u2019re in an age of radical honesty when it comes to celebrity beauty treatments\u2014but only among women. Sure, a solid handful of famous men have gone the route of aesthetic transparency, but A-listers like Bradley Cooper aren\u2019t rising to meet the moment just yet.<\/p>\n<p>After months of speculation surrounding what internet commenters have called his \u201cnew face,\u201d rumors about the actor\u2019s appearance have finally been addressed\u2014though not by Cooper himself. During his January 5 appearance on <em>SmartLess<\/em>, a podcast hosted by Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes, Arnett said he\u2019s been asked multiple times during the press tour for <em>Is This Thing On?<\/em> to name something people don\u2019t know about Cooper (the director and one of his costars in the film). But instead of sharing a random fact about his favorite food or what he likes to do off-set, Arnett decided to address the plastic surgery gossip on Cooper\u2019s behalf: \u201cWe keep reading [that] everybody thinks that Bradley&#8217;s had plastic surgery\u2026 What people don&#8217;t know is that he hasn&#8217;t,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>While Cooper laughed along and said that strangers have been approaching him to say he \u201clooks good\u201d lately, he didn\u2019t explicitly address the plastic surgery speculation. Still, Arnett replied that the \u201cbullshit\u201d rumors made him mad. \u201cPeople say that all the time, and it&#8217;s a hilarious thing,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody thinks that they know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I mean, he\u2019s right. Plenty of surgeons and random civilians on social media have speculated that Cooper might have received an upper blepharoplasty, a lower face and neck lift, hair transplants, and laser treatments, too. To Arnett\u2019s point, rumors like these should be taken with a healthy dose of salt, and we can never know for sure exactly what a celebrity\u2019s getting done without their or their doctors\u2019 acknowledgement\u2014but these rumors didn\u2019t come out of nowhere. After appearing late last year with a noticeably brighter complexion and seemingly tighter skin around his eyes, it\u2019s hard to accept a claim that he\u2019s had <em>zero<\/em> work done when the masses can collectively tell that <em>something<\/em> has changed.<\/p>\n<p>Although I\u2019m of the mindset that celebrities do not owe us an exhaustive explanation of their aesthetic choices, Cooper coming clean about his treatments could open doors for even more men to open up about the pressures they face to stay young and hot. As it stands, the perception of male vanity still carries a number of very real (and often homophobic\/misogynistic) taboos that, to be perfectly honest, we could do without. And, let\u2019s be real\u2014if women are expected to share every single detail of their aesthetic upkeep down to their cup size, it&#8217;d be nice if men could grant the masses the same honesty. At the very least, they could admit they love a good facial.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong>More celebrity beauty news:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just two months ago, Simone Biles answered fan questions about her boob job and opened up about getting a lower blepharoplasty.
