Side-by-Side Photos of Same-Age Male Stars, Who Have Cosmetic Procedures Done and Not

When it comes to aging in Hollywood, not all men take the same route. Some embrace the natural look, while others turn to plastic surgery to maintain a youthful edge.

Information regarding the cosmetic procedures of some individuals is based on public speculation and may not be confirmed by the celebrities.​

1. Mickey Rourke and Jeff Goldblum (born in 1952)

Mickey Rourke’s appearance has undergone significant changes, primarily due to injuries sustained during his boxing career in the 1990s. He admitted to undergoing multiple surgeries to address these injuries, including five operations on his nose and one on a damaged cheekbone. Rourke stated, “Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing, but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.”

In contrast, Jeff Goldblum has consistently denied undergoing any cosmetic procedures. In a 2016 interview, he remarked, “I’ve... never used Botox, never had plastic surgery. I think when nature changes your face—especially if you live a clean life—your body is designed so it all looks right together. When you try to be youthful, it only makes you look older.”

2. Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey (born in 1962)

Tom Cruise’s youthful appearance has led to speculation about the use of cosmetic procedures. However, Cruise has not publicly acknowledged any such interventions, and his appearance may also be attributed to genetics and a healthy lifestyle.

During a 2020 appearance on Conan, Jim Carrey openly discussed aging and emphasized that he had no intention of turning to cosmetic procedures or surgery in an attempt to maintain a youthful appearance, “I’m not afraid to age. I really just want to do this gracefully.”

3. Sylvester Stallone and Eugene Levy (born in 1946)

Sylvester Stallone’s appearance has sparked discussions about possible cosmetic enhancements. In one of the interviews, he had the following to say regarding his plastic surgery, “Why not do it? You have body work done on your car.”

Eugene Levy, known for his distinctive features, has largely remained unchanged over the years. He has not been associated with significant cosmetic alterations, maintaining a consistent and natural look throughout his career. He reportedly revealed his secret of looking young, saying, “I guess it’s just genes. Actually, you know what it is? It’s eliminating stress from your life. I just block it out.”

4. David Schwimmer and Adam Sandler (born in 1966)

David Schwimmer’s appearance had drawn attention after the Friends reunion. Although he didn’t confirm any cosmetic enhancements, there are speculations over the Internet that he may use Botox and have undergone rhinoplasty.

Adam Sandler has maintained a steady appearance with minimal changes over the years. He once admitted that he’s firmly opposed to plastic surgery because he doesn’t want his children thinking it’s okay just because their dad chose to do it.

5. Bradley Cooper and David Harbour (born in 1975)

Experts believe that Bradley Cooper has benefited from plastic surgery. He may have a more contoured and defined jawline. There are also rumors that he might occasionally opt for minimally invasive treatments like neurotoxin injections and cheek fillers to help preserve a youthful, radiant look. It’s speculated that Cooper may have also had a neck lift in addition to his facelift. However, he hasn’t publicly commented on these procedures.

David Harbour’s evolving look, especially noted in Stranger Things, is attributed to character development rather than personal cosmetic choices. He continues to present a natural appearance in his personal life and promotes the idea of real people on TV, “I love the idea of real bodies on television. And I love the idea of making real people beautiful and loved.”

6. Zac Efron and Tom Felton (born in 1987)

Zac Efron’s appearance has been a topic of discussion, particularly regarding his jawline. Speculations suggested he may have undergone procedures to alter his facial features. After some time, the actor finally addressed the truth behind the changes to his appearance.

Zac Efron revealed that the alterations to his jaw were a result of an accident at his home. While running indoors, he slipped and severely injured his chin. The road to recovery was difficult, and during the healing process, his masseter muscles, which are involved in chewing, became overdeveloped and noticeably enlarged.

Tom Felton has maintained a consistent appearance since his Harry Potter days. There is no public information indicating he has pursued cosmetic enhancements, and people believe that he embraces a natural aging process, “I respect the fact that he’s one of the few actors that will post pics without photoshop and filters. I’m also going to assume he hasn’t had any cosmetic procedures. No hate to anybody that has, but it must take a lot of confidence and self-love to post yourself naturally.”

7. Dwayne Johnson and Eminem (born in 1972)

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has changed a lot over the years—from a lean college football player to a bulky wrestling star and Hollywood action hero. His dramatic transformation has sparked rumors about possible plastic surgery. While he’s never confirmed going under the knife, some believe he may have had liposuction to stay shredded, a nose job to refine his features, or even Botox and other tweaks to keep his face looking fresh. Muscle implants have also been mentioned in speculation.

Eminem has been in the spotlight for decades, and fans have noticed that his appearance has changed over time. The rapper, known for his intense lyrics and raw honesty, now looks noticeably smoother and more youthful than he did in the early 2000s—sparking rumors of possible plastic surgery. However, Eminem hasn’t addressed these rumors publicly. Changes in appearance could also be due to weight fluctuations, better skincare, or simply aging naturally in the public eye.

8. John Travolta (born in 1954) and Pierce Brosnan (born in 1953)

John Travolta’s appearance has changed over the years, with noticeable alterations that have led to speculation about cosmetic surgery. He has not publicly addressed these changes.

Pierce Brosnan has maintained a distinguished look, with subtle signs of aging. He has not been associated with significant cosmetic procedures, embracing a natural aging process that complements his classic appeal. In one of the interviews, he said, “I have not had any plastic surgery in any shape or form. No implants. And my hair is not dyed.”

While some male celebs age naturally and others opt for cosmetic procedures, the difference can be striking. But it’s not just the men — female celebrities face even more pressure to have youthful appearance. So next, let’s take a look at how plastic surgery has impacted same-age female stars and the beauty standards they navigate in Hollywood.
