Bradley Cooper set the record straight on whether or not he has gone under the knife.
Cooper, 51, sat down with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett during a Monday, January 5, episode of the “SmartLess” podcast and spilled the tea on plastic surgery rumors.
During the episode, Arnett, 55, recalled a moment where he was asked something that fans didn’t know about Cooper. “I said, ‘Well, there’s a lot,’” he reminisced. “And then I was gonna say — because we keep reading everybody thinks that Bradley’s had plastic surgery — everybody keeps saying that. I’m like, ‘What people don’t know is that he hasn’t,’” Arnett said. “Right?”
Bateman, 56, agreed. “That he hasn’t.” Arnett then agreed, “Yeah. Of course, he hasn’t.”
Cooper then joined the convo, explaining that people have been speculating if he has made any enhancements to achieve his youthful appearance. “No, I get people [coming] up to me the last couple [of] weeks. They’re like, ‘Oh, you look good! Yeah. Yeah, but it’s a crazy [thing].”
Arnett added that people “think that they know” all about Cooper, but that it’s “bulls***.”
Cooper isn’t the first celebrity who put plastic surgery rumors to rest. In December 2025, Sydney Sweeney clarified that she’s never had work done while taking a lie detector test with Vanity Fair alongside Amanda Seyfried.
While hooked up to the machine, Seyfried, 40, asked the Euphoria star, “There’s been a question on everyone’s mind recently, and I just have to ask. Are your boobs real?”
Sweeney, 28, replied, “Yes!” which showed true on the machine. Seyfried then questioned if she’s “ever had any work done on” her chest.
“No, I’ve never gotten any work done anywhere,” she answered. The test administrator confirmed that her response was “truthful.”
Sweeney previously shared that she also hasn’t gotten any injectables. In October, she told Variety, “I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m going to age gracefully.” She added, “It’s really funny. I’ll see things online like ‘comparison pictures.’ I’m like, ‘I’m 12 in that photo. Of course I’m going to look different. I have makeup on now and I’m 15 years older.’”
Another reason that she’s steered clear of Botox and filler is because of her phobia of needles. “I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing,” she shared.
Ariana Grande also got candid about plastic surgery rumors in September 2024 during her own Vanity Fair lie detector test.
At the time, her Wicked costar Cynthia Erivo questioned the singer if she got her “nose done.”
Grande, 32, quickly replied, “No,” which the test showed was truthful. She also denied getting a “boob job,” a “fox eye lift,” a “chin implant,” and a “Brazilian butt lift.”
The one procedure that Grande said she was “open” to getting down the line is a facelift.
Grande did, however, share that she’s experimented with injectables before.
“I’ve had fillers in various places and Botox, but I stopped, like, four years ago,” she said. “And that is the extent.” Grande also noted that she supports anyone who chooses to get work done.
