The 49-year-old Maestro star was spotted with a new facial hair style that had fans wondering. Bradley Cooper kept his mustache and sideburns but trimmed the front of his face down to his chin. The actor completed his casual look with light wash jeans, a flower-detailed button up and black sunglasses. This is a stark difference from the way Cooper looked just days before, when he joined rock stars at a music festival with Gigi Hadid.
Is It For A Role?
As an actor, Bradley Cooper is accustomed to being a bit of a chameleon. The 49-year-old star fluctuates between short and long hair, five o’clock stubble and bushy beards, and even changes up his hair color from time to time. But his latest look has fans a bit puzzled – the Maestro actor is sporting a strange new style to his facial hair. While out and about in New York City on Monday, the actor was seen with a clean-shaved patch of skin under his chin.
The actor has a reputation for being quite a stylist when it comes to his tresses, but this recent cut looks a bit extreme. It is a stark contrast from his usual look, which is a slicked back and combed forward beard with medium length hair. This unconventional look was first spotted by paparazzi as the actor strolled through NYC. The star looked well-groomed in a black button up shirt with ivory floral embroidery, jeans and a pair of Air Jordan sneakers.
He was joined by his girlfriend, supermodel Gigi Hadid. The couple have been dating since last year, and have recently gotten extremely PDA at various events, including attending the BottleRock Food and Music Festival together over Memorial Day weekend where they were seen dancing to Stevie Nicks on stage.
Is It Just a Personal Choice?
The actor has been sporting a funky new facial hair style lately – and it’s leaving fans wondering why. Coop, 49, was spotted out and about in New York City on Monday with a section of his beard clean-shaven, leaving the rest of his scruff intact. It was a very different look, considering he was just spotted with a full beard last Friday. The Maestro star was clad in a black button-up shirt featuring ivory floral embroidery, blue jeans and a pair of Air Jordan sneakers as he strolled around the city. He completed his casual look with a pair of sunglasses and a can of coffee in tow.
Despite his busy schedule, the handsome actor seemed relaxed and happy as he made his way through the city with a close friend. This comes a week after he and girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 29, were spotted swaying together during Fleetwood Mac?s performance at the BottleRock music festival in Napa Valley.
Gigi and Bradley have been enjoying their time together in the West Coast, as they celebrated their one-year anniversary last month by taking in a Los Angeles Lakers game at Staples Center. Earlier in the month, the duo packed on the PDA while dining at Tribeca hotspot Forgione. The pair also hit the beach and cheered on their favorite teams – the Phillies and the Sixers.
Is It a Facial Hair Trend?
Bradley Cooper is rocking a funky new facial hair style that is making many do a double-take. The actor was photographed strolling around New York City on Monday with a clean-shaven patch on his chin surrounded by full mustache and sideburns. He wore the bold look with a black button up shirt featuring ivory floral embroidery, blue jeans and Air Jordan sneakers.
The 49-year-old Maestro actor reportedly shaved the patch on his chin because he is working on an upcoming movie. The actor is starring and directing Is This Thing On?, which also stars Will Arnett and was penned by the actor himself along with Mark Chappell. But the plot details have remained under wraps.
But he might also just be trying out a new look to see how Bradley Cooper likes it. The actor recently sparked romance rumors with supermodel Gigi Hadid, and the pair have been spending a lot of time together lately. The duo was spotted packing on the PDA during a recent date night in NYC and enjoying a day at BottleRock Food and Music Festival in Napa.
The couple also enjoyed a family outing this week as they took their seven-year-old daughter Lea on a stroll through the Big Apple. They also attended a gala in honor of the Arthur Miller Foundation earlier this month, where the two looked sharp dressed in suits and ties.
Is It for a Movie?
The multi-hyphenate star is a busy guy. In addition to directing the 2024 hit film A Star Is Born, he’s also producing another movie about a famous sports figure — this time, he’s working with iconic actor Steve McQueen on the upcoming adaptation of his classic film Bullitt.
As Bradley Cooper preps for the new project, Cooper has been trying out a different look in his facial hair. The Maestro actor was spotted on June 10 with a new style that sees him missing a large chunk of his beard.
While the rest of the scruffy mane is still intact, he’s sporting a clean-shaven patch around his mouth and chin. The 49-year-old star teamed the unusual look with a blue button-up shirt and blue jeans, finishing off his casual outfit with sunglasses and trainers.
Fans have been reacting to Cooper’s latest facial hair decision. Some have speculated that the change is a nod to his character in the upcoming movie, while others joked that the actor was suffering from a shaving disaster.
Regardless of whether the beard is for a movie, it’s clear that Cooper is feeling confident in his latest look. After all, he just recently won an Oscar for his work in A Star Is Born — so maybe it’s the perfect look to celebrate his big win!
