Bradley Cooper’s unrecognizable face  in snap with Gigi Hadid sparks social media confusion: ‘Is that AI Bradley?’

Bradley Cooper’s appearance in a group shot from a Saturday date night with Gigi Hadid had fans chatting Sunday, questioning whether the A-list actor’s appearance had been digitally-altered prior to posting.

The Philadelphia native, 49, was seen in an image posted to Instagram by Alyssa Milano, who is performing in the famed musical Chicago at New York City’s Ambassador Theater on Broadway.

Milano, 51, who plays Roxie Hart in the musical, shared a backstage image of herself posing with costar Kimberly Marable, Cooper, and Hadid, 29.

‘Bradley, Gigi, Erinn, Michelle—and so many more that I don’t have pictures with,’ Milano captioned the post. ‘Thank you to all who came out to see me in @chicagomusical tonight. And thank you to all those who waited my the stage door in the cold (brrrr). 2 more performances left. My heart is so full.’

The Academy Award-nominated star of The Hangover, American Sniper and Silver Linings Playbook was clad in a brown leather coat with gray pants and gray sneakers, sporting facial hair.

On social media, many users sounded off about Cooper’s unusual appearance in the social media shot, with speculation ranging from AI to photoshop.

‘Is that AI Bradley because I have questions… lol,’ one user said, while another said, ‘The filter on this photo is insane’ and one user described the image as the ‘worst photoshop ever.’

Another user added, ‘Plssss the way she photoshopped that first image.’

One user suggested Cooper didn’t look like himself in the image, with one person asking, ‘Is Bradley in the room with us?’ while another said, ‘You can’t even recognize Bradley.’

Multiple comments made reference to the filtering application Facetune, with comments such as ‘this picture is over facetuned;’ ‘girl chill with the Facetune’ and ‘the FaceTune on this is insane.’

One commenter said that Hadid’s appearance was also unrecognizable due to the edits made to the image.

‘Bradley and Gigi look nothing like themselves and no one’s noticing that?’ the user said.

Other celebrities who have been accused of using Facetune to excess include Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Teresa Giudice.
