The conclusion on social media: A beauty doc must have been at work here. Because, what we all tend to forget: Men in Hollywood are also under pressure to look eternally young for the film cameras.

Ryan Gosling surprises with full cheeks
Did Ryan Gosling help? Within a few hours, this question was mixed into the general discussion of outfits and winners of the 2024 Academy Awards. It was already during the press tour of the film “Barbie”, for which he was also nominated for an Oscar for his performance as “Ken”. that the actor’s face appears strikingly youthful. With his appearance on the evening of March 11th, he underlines this impression once again. You have to admit: Ryan’s face actually looks plumper and firmer in the official photos. Creators on TikTok denounce the fact that his “distinctive facial contours” are missing. It is also noticeable that his facial expressions seem more rigid. Dr. Dascha Berek took a close look at the actor’s face for GALA and classified it. “The cheeks appear significantly fuller and the jawline is very contoured, which suggests treatments with filler materials. The forehead wrinkles were probably deliberately not treated with muscle relaxants or only treated very subtly in order to maintain facial expressions that were as natural as possible, which is particularly important for actors.” , said the expert.

According to expert: Ryan Gosling “a little puffy”
A normal procedure in Hollywood – even for men who are constantly exposed to the public eye. But “this attempt at anti-aging has unfortunately led to an inharmonious and inconsistent result. The cheeks appear too plump and stand out visually, which almost makes them appear a little puffy,” says our expert. This phenomenon is called “pillow face” and could be one of the reasons why the 43-year-old now seems to be missing his cheeky facial features.
Younger than ever: Bradley Cooper appears with a smooth forehead
Bradley Cooper, 49, is going in a similar direction with his appearance at the Oscars. Also nominated for an Academy Award, the attention of various film fans is on the 49-year-old – and notices a wrinkle-free forehead. What’s also striking, however, is that the facial expressions of the “Sexiest Man Alive” from 2011 seem more agile than their colleague Gosling. Small wrinkles appear in the corners of the eyes and put the smooth appearance of the forehead into perspective. “It can be concluded that there was more emphasis on relaxing and firming methods and less filling,” says Dr. med. Berek a. A facelift or the selective use of hyaluronic acid would also be possible.

Bradley Cooper: That’s how much an actor’s appearance is worth
Bradley Cooper’s beauty behavior supports our expert’s assessment. As “Bild” reports, the SAG Award winner invests around 45,000 euros a month in his beauty. What does he do for his skin and hair with this chunk of money? He is said to treat himself to facials almost every day, as well as facial steaming, a treatment that is said to leave particularly fine pores and clear skin. In addition, a make-up artist should take care of the Hollywood star’s facial hair twice a week and pluck his eyebrows. The 49-year-old is also said to be a big fan of waxing. The rest will go towards shelves full of beauty products, including anti-aging care. Who should be surprised by Bradley’s naturally toned face?
