IN THE PITT OF IT
Brad Pitt facelift rumours go viral after doctor’s TikTok video explodes on internet
If Brad has gone under the knife, it would, according to Dr Jonny, cost upwards of £100,000 and require a two to three-month recovery period
IT’S the celebrity viral video everyone is talking about, with Brad Pitt’s mug now more discussed than when he became the first A-lister to be voted People Magazine’s sexiest man twice.
More than 5.5million of us have watched the clip, put on Instagram and TikTok by British aesthetics wizard Dr Jonny Betteridge, who has speculated that Brad could have had a secret facelift.

While there is no suggestion Brad has gone under the knife, looking at two images of the actor posted online by Dr Jonny, one from a red carpet event in 2020 and one from the Wimbledon tennis tournament last summer, I have to admit he does look a hell of a lot better. If that was even possible.
And Dr Jonny thinks Brad’s ability to age backwards could all be down to a quick trip to a top surgeon.
I grabbed him for a quick chat to get his thoughts after the video started trending.
He told me: “The Brad video has gone viral because people can’t believe how good he looks at 60.
“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.”
Dr Jonny, who runs jbaesthetics.com in London, said a facelift often leaves a scar by the earlobe — a clever touch which allows people to keep top secret the fact that they have had one.

If Brad had gone under the knife the procedure would, according to Dr Jonny, have cost upwards of £100,000 and required a two to three-month recovery period.
I’ll be honest, if I have that kind of money in 25 years I’ll be doing exactly this — whether Brad has done it or not.
Others have weighed into the debate and said Brad’s youthful good looks are all down to a healthy skincare regime and decent genes.
Mum and Dad, I’m looking at you.
Harry out in his ’hood
HARRY STYLES kept it low-key as he was seen for the first time since it emerged he’d had a run-in with an alleged stalker.
The singer was left “shaken” by the incident on Monday, which involved a woman who was later arrested and up in court the following day.

Harry put a brave face on the incident and went out to the shops with his girlfriend, Canadian actress Taylor Russell, close to his home in London.
The alleged incident happened just after Harry had returned from a holiday in the Caribbean with Taylor and his mate James Corden.
Harry is a really decent lad and has kept his life as normal as possible.
When a friend of mine bumped into him in a park at the end of last year, he stopped for a selfie with their kid and was, according to them, “the loveliest guy you could ever hope to meet”.
I’m sending him my very best.

Ariana's spell ends
ARIANA GRANDE’s 16-month stay in the UK is over after filming for the Wicked movies finished.
The Yes, And? singer, who will play Galinda, confirmed on Instagram yesterday the two films were finally done, ahead of the first instalment’s release in November.
After director Jon M Chu said he would “never forget my year with our Galinda,” Ari, who will star opposite Brit Cynthia Erivo, posted: “I will never forget even a minute of my year(s) with her either, or you, or my Cyn.
“Permanently and preferably intertwined.”
Playing Galinda paid off for Ariana, who cast a spell on co-star Ethan Slater to be her real-life boyfriend.

IT wasn’t just Dua Lipa who stole the show at the Argylle movie premiere.
One of my favourites of the Love Island lot, 2022 winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu, wore this Ibiza-style cream skirt and corset on the red carpet in London on Wednesday.

Ekin hung out with the film’s stars, including Henry Cavill and Samuel L Jackson.
It certainly beats the people she was with in the villa.
Awkwardly, bar Ekin and her on-off bloke Davide Sanclimenti, I can barely remember them.

After spending the past couple of years fuelling himself on cheese at his new home in France, Pete now looks in far better shape than he ever did.

But as to why he’s carrying a rug out of the Cavern Club, I haven’t the foggiest.
Maybe a job at Carpetright beckons if the new record doesn’t work. out?
