Dr Jonny Betteridge has gone viral after suggesting Hollywood star Brad Pitt has gone under the knife in a secret surgery costing £100,000

Brad Pitt’s secret to his glowing, youthful looks at the grand age of 60 might be down to a six-figure facelift, according to an aesthetics doctor.

Dr Jonny Betteridge has gone viral on TikTok after suggesting the Hollywood star has gone under the knife in an under-the-radar operation that could have cost the actor more than £100,000 – and viewers can’t help but wonder if it’s true.

While there’s no suggestion Brad has actually had surgery, Dr Betteridge dissected two photographs of the A-lister, three years apart, and says he looks so much better.

He noted “significant” changes in Brad’s face, sparking cosmetics conspiracy theories.

“The Brad video has gone viral because people can’t believe how good he looks at 60,” the cosmetics expert told The Sun. Looking at the pictures I posted, Brad does look like he could have had a facelift.

The changes are significant in that time.

“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.”

The doctor says he would have paid more than £100,000 for the operation, needing months of recovery.

Comments suggested Brad’s good looks are nothing but a decent skincare routine, with some refusing to believe he’d resort to surgery.

The actor who starred in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – a movie about a man who ages in reverse – consistently steps out barely looking a day older than when he first rose to fame in the 90s. Brad has never publicly admitted to going under to knife or having any tweakments

“Brad truly looks after himself. He’s not trying to look younger, but looks the healthiest version of himself,” the UK medical director of the New York Dermatology Group at the Harrods Wellness Clinic, Dr Costas Papageorgiou explained in 2020.

“Brad also appears to have protected his face and neck from the sun to preserve skin elasticity, inflammation and redness.”

The dermatology expert continued to muse how Brad seems to have shunned obvious plastic surgery or tweakments in order to retain his movie star looks, noting the actor’s face boasts a “lack of botox or visible surgery”.

But earlier last year, another beauty expert suspected Brad may have finally succumbed to the needle and had a few subtle tweakments following his 2016 split and subsequent divorce from actress Angelina Jolie, with whom he shares four children with.
