George Clooney has reportedly had a more difficult time aging than he is ready to admit. According to a new report, his friend Brad Pitt is his go-to advisor for beauty recommendations as well as how to recover his mojo again in general.
“George puts this brave face on his aging, but privately he’s been very alarmed by how old he’s starting to look, especially when he compares himself to his Hollywood friends, particularly Brad,” an unnamed source told In Touch Weekly.
George, who is 63 years old, and Brad, who is 60 years old, have been close for many years. During a joint interview with GQ that took place on Tuesday, August 13, the co-stars in "Ocean's Eleven" recently discussed the ways in which they maintain the strength of their connection.
“We also check in on each other every once in a while, which is an important part of this. Things get complicated in life and you always have to make sure everybody’s O.K.,” George said of his friendship with Brad.
Brad echoed the sentiment. “I’ll call George on numerous occasions when things get bumpy. I know he’s got my back. I got his back,” Angelina Jolie's former husband stated.
Most, if not all, fans are aware that, thanks in large part to his partner Ines de Ramon, Brad has recently adopted a healthy and sober lifestyle, which includes regular yoga and meditation sessions. He has also been practicing meditation.
There is little doubt that the “Troy” star is able to maintain his trim and wrinkle-free appearance by avoiding alcohol and marijuana. However, according to an undisclosed informant, George is suspicious that there may be another factor that is assisting his pal in maintaining his youthful appearance.
“[George] wants to get rid of his jowls and wrinkles, improve his posture and just bulk up overall so he looks younger and more virile. [Brad] seems to be like the true Benjamin Button of his generation and George has decided to swallow his pride and ask for his help. Brad has clearly worked some sort of magic; he doesn’t admit to it, but George wants all the secrets and he’s not going to let him off the hook and just pretend Brad looks this good thanks to his great genetics,” the tipster explained.
The actor from "ER" is not the only one who has suspicions. There was a resurgence of speculation that Brad had received some form of surgical intervention, and this speculation gained significant momentum after a doctor on TikTok made a comment that went viral regarding his anti-aging treatment.
Although Brad has never publicly acknowledged that he has undergone any type of cosmetic surgery, facial aesthetician and former British National Health Service doctor Dr. Jonny Betteridge is of the opinion that the "Seven" star may have undergone a facelift. A facelift may cost well over one hundred thousand dollars and can take anywhere from two to three months to properly recover from.
“’It was at Wimbledon … where his transformation was noticed. Look at the change in his face and how more youthful he looks when you see him from the side on profile,” the physician, who has not yet provided treatment to Brad, makes a reference to photographs of the ageless actor's face that were taken in the year 2020.
Compared to recent photos, the doc said, “You can see the change in the lower face contour is really impressive. You can tell this is related to a face lift by looking for this scar,” the doctor concludes, pointing out a mark that is indicative of the procedure.
“Everyone knows he’s had some help, even if he likes to deny it and George is determined to get his playbook. He’s willing to sign an NDA if that’s what it takes but if George has his way he’ll be getting the Brad treatment and shaving a decade or two off his face and body over the next year,” the expert continued.
