Brad Pitt facelift rumours go viral after doctor’s TikTok video explodes on internet
IT’S the celebrity viral video everyone is talking about, with Brad Pitt’s mug now more discussed than when he became the first A-lister to be voted People Magazine’s sexiest man twice.
More than 5.5million of us have watched the clip, put on Instagram and TikTok by British aesthetics wizard Dr Jonny Betteridge, who has speculated that Brad could have had a secret facelift.
While there is no suggestion Brad has gone under the knife, looking at two images of the actor posted online by Dr Jonny, one from a red carpet in 2020 and one from trhe Wimbledon tennis tournament last summer, I have to admit he does look a hell of a lot better. If that was even possible.
And Dr Jonny thinks Brad’s ability to age backwards could all be down to a quick trip to a top surgeon.
I grabbed him for a quick chat to get his thoughts, after the video started trending.
He told me: “The Brad video has gone viral because people can’t believe how good he looks at 60.
“Looking at the pictures I posted, Brad does look like he could have had a facelift.
“The changes are significant in that time period.
“To have that degree of lift to the face and contour especially in the mid and lower face, you can’t achieve those results through non-surgical methods.”
Dr Jonny, who runs jbaesthetics.com in London, said the procedure often leaves a scar by the earlobe — a clever method which allows people to keep their results top secret.
If Brad has gone under the knife, it would, according to Dr Jonny, cost upwards of £100,000 and require a two to three-month recovery period.
I’ll be honest, if I have that kind of money in 25 years, I’ll be doing exactly this — whether Brad has done it or not.
Others have weighed into the debate and said Brad’s youthful good looks are all down to a good skincare regime and decent genes.
Mum and Dad, I’m looking at you.
HARRY STYLES kept it low key as he was seen for the first time since it came to light he’d had a run in with an alleged stalker.
The As It Was singer was left “shaken” by the incident on Monday, which involved a woman who was later arrested and up in court the following day.
Harry put a brave face on the incident and went out to the shops with his girlfriend, Canadian actress Taylor Russell, close to his home in London.
It’ll be a horrible reminder for Harry, who has previously been targeted by a female stalker, prompting him to up his security.
The alleged incident happened just after Harry had returned from a holiday in the Caribbean with Taylor and his mate James Corden.
Harry is a really decent lad and despite his super stardom has kept his life as normal as possible.
When a friend of mine bumped into him in a park at the end of last year, he gamely stopped for a selfie with their kid and was, according to them, “the loveliest bloke you could ever hope to meet”.
I’m sending him my very best.
Justin’s so selfish with Jess
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has returned with his first solo song in six years, called Selfish.
The track, all about his love for wife Jessica Biel, will be on his newly-announced album Everything I Thought It Was, which is out on March 15.
JT’s track leads a raft of new releases today including Megan Thee Stallion’s Hiss and Swedish pop sensation Benjamin Ingrosso’s Kite.
The unlikely combo of Ariana DeBose, Boy George and Nile Rodgers have teamed up for Electric Energy from the soundtrack to new movie Argylle, while Heidi Klum has dropped a cover of Corey Hart’s 1984 song Sunglasses At Night, produced by Tiesto.
Elsewhere, Yungblud and Lil Yachty have teamed up for a collaboration called When We Die (Can We Still Get High?), written during a trip to New Orleans.
Dua Lipa also confirmed our tale about her second single, Training Season, which is out now.
THE world and his wife is trying to replicate the success of Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s Barbie film.
Now Jennifer Lopez has thrown her hat into the ring and is producing another Mattel movie.
But hers is a far taller order, as she has signed up to produce the live-action version of Bob The Builder…
ARIANA GRANDE has finally completed work on the Wicked movies – 16 months after moving here to work on them.
The Yes, And? singer, who will play Galinda, posted on Instagram yesterday to confirm that the two films were finally done, ahead of the first instalment’s release this November.
After director Jon M Chu said he would “never forget my year with our Galinda,” Ari, who will star opposite Brit Cynthia Erivo, wrote: “I will never forget even a minute of my year(s) with her either, or you, or my Cyn.
“Permanently and preferably intertwined.
“Thank you, Jon, for leading the way with such compassion, openness, brilliance and kindness.
“I have never seen someone conduct a space the way you do.”
Ariana also met her boyfriend Ethan Slater on set, so she certainly has something to remember her time there by.
CRAIG DAVID has been picked as the only British act on the line-up for one of America’s most in-demand festivals.
The one-day Lovers & Friends in Las Vegas on May 4 will also include sets from Janet Jackson, Usher, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Backstreet Boys, Sean Paul, Jason Derulo, TLC and loads of others.
He is in incredible company on that line-up. Room for a tubby one in your luggage, Craig?
IT wasn’t just Dua Lipa who stole the show at the Argylle premiere.
One of my favourites of the Love Island lot, 2022 winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu, wore this Ibiza-style cream skirt and corset on the red carpet in London.
Ekin hung out with the film’s stars, including Henry Cavill and Samuel L Jackson.
It certainly beats the contestants she was hanging out with in the villa.
And awkwardly, bar Ekin and her on-off boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti, I can barely even remember them.
It’s a rug ’n’ roll life, Pete
PETE DOHERTY is giving me Inspector Gadget vibes in this blue trench coat.
The Libertines rocker looked smart leaving a gig at the Cavern Club in Liverpool with his band, whose new record All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade is out on March 8.
After spending the past couple of years fuelling himself on cheese at his new home in France, Pete looks in far better shape than he ever did.
But as to why he’s carrying a rug out of the Cavern Club, I haven’t the foggiest.
Maybe a job at Carpetright beckons if the new record doesn’t work out?
