Hollywood titan Brad Pitt has surprised people with his incredibly youthful new look that seems to have turned back his biological clock.
Appearing on the red carpet to promote his new film Wolfs alongside George Clooney, Pitt faced claims from fans that he was a real-life Benjamin Button and that the 60-year-old looked several years younger than he did just two years ago. .
Now leading cosmetic doctor Dr Jonny Betteridge has highlighted the series of procedures he believes may explain Pitt’s radical anti-ageing transformation.
One of the key procedures Dr. Betteridge highlighted in a clip that has been viewed more than 20,000 times on tiktok It was a blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift.
This procedure, which costs up to £6,000 in the UK, removes excess skin from the eyelids to reduce signs of ageing.
Specifically, Dr. Betteridge suspects that Pitt has opted for a more subtle lower blepharoplasty, which explains the natural look.
While a complete blepharoplasty alters both the upper and lower eyelids, Dr. Betteridge said men should be careful when altering the upper eyelid, as it can have undesirable results.
“In male patients, this can feminize their face and be an indication that they have had work done,” she said.

Comparing photos of Pitt from before July 2023, when rumors first circulated that he had undergone plastic surgery, with those after, Dr. Betteridge theorized that the star had undergone a series of procedures that had resulting in a “significant improvement in your appearance.”
These included fat grafting to the face, where fat taken from other areas of the body is injected into the face to add volume, combined with a face and neck lift.
Dr. Betteridge also suggested that Pitt had gotten veneers: custom-made porcelain shells that are attached to the front of the teeth to improve their appearance.
Overall, he gave a glowing review of the transformation.
“The changes in the jaw and neck area are really impressive and create a more defined and structured look,” she said.
He added that Pitt was a “great example of a man who had plastic surgery because he still has his facial features but looks more refreshed.”
This is not the first time that Pitt, who played a man who ages backwards in 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, has been suspected of having gone under the knife to improve his appearance.
Dr Betteridge previously suggested Pitt had undergone a £100,000 facelift.
Appearing on the red carpet to promote his new film ‘Wolfs’, alongside co-star George Clooney, 63, Pitt surprised fans with his youthful appearance.
One of the key procedures that Dr. Betteridge highlighted in a clip that has been viewed more than 20,000 times on TikTok was blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift. Pitt here photographed in Mexico during the F1 Grand Prix last month.
Pitt played the title character in 2008’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, about a man who ages backwards, and now fans have called him the “real-life Benjamin Button.”
Sources close to the star have ruled out theories that she has undergone a facelift.
Pitt has previously spoken about his relaxed stance on aging.
In a 2019 interview with Esquire magazine, he said, “You get older, you get more irritable, and comfort becomes more important.” I think it’s as simple as that.
When asked about her beauty regimen, she hilariously said, “I grew up with a country mentality, you know, dial soap once a day and then move on…
“And I think we’re learning that if we love ourselves, if we treat ourselves a little better, that will have lasting benefits.” So let’s age healthily, let’s age healthily.”
