Yes, LOL that some people are so clueless including but not limited to those who note the change and state without irony that he's aging backwards. But even from the likes of the dailymail there are a lot of hints that he had help. From dermatologist(s) if not necessarily a plastic surgeon.
He's about the same weight as he was when he won his Oscar in 2020 but his face now is tighter, less craggy, his jawline less saggy and that simply does not happen naturally esp. at his age.
The difference was obvious in his appearance at this year's Cesar where he was front and center giving David Fincher an award. The photos from Tourtour are lo-res and grainy and much of his wrinkles are around the eyes which were covered.
I don't think there is anything wrong with getting help. He's an actor and his face is his asset he will want to take care of. Whoever helped him did a good job. Some of the procedures Angelina's dermatologist talks about below could already account for improvement in Brad's appearance.

Laura Kay, cosmetics specialist and founder of Laura Kay London, told FEMAIL the Oscar Award-winning actor's young appearance can be explained by a combination of a good skin maintenance programme, plus a few procedures here and there.
She said: 'Brad appears to have very subtly invested in some 'tweakments' to retain a youthful appearance.
'He has reduced fine lines today and his skin is dewy and fresh. Therefore he may have has botox to reduce wrinkles and face peels will help to rejuvenate his skin.
'He could also have focused on certain areas including the neck, jowls and his hairline/hair that are very noticeable signs of ageing – and with a skilled practitioner people will hardly notice the difference, yet it will look transformative.'
Men are also booking in for botox, fillers, face peels, brow treatments and hairline work, to name a few.'
Angelina gave her dermatologist, Dr. Rhonda Rand, a plug a few years back:
Angelina Jolie revealed the identity of her life-long dermatologist, Dr. Rhonda Rand, in an interview with InStyle back in March, but now Refinery29 caught up with the doctor to learn more about Jolie's anti-aging secrets.
“It’s who my mother brought me to when I was little with my first scar,” Jolie told Instyle of Rand. “To have somebody who is very encouraging of being as natural as possible has really helped me, I think.”
With Jolie's permission, Rand spoke to Refinery29 about the actress's minimalist skincare routine, her favorite in-office treatments, and how early menopause has impacted her skin.
"She’s always been such a natural beauty, so she didn’t ever have to do much. It was really just sunscreen, proper cleansing with a mild, gentle cleanser, antioxidants, sometimes glycolic [acids], and natural products. Some alpha hydroxy [acids] are good too, and they’re very natural. She doesn’t need major scrubs or products with lots of chemicals," Rand told Refinery29.
When Jolie travels—which she does often—she takes along the Dermbasics RR Perfection Cream from Rand's line Dermbasics. "It’s a chemical-free antioxidant sunscreen and that’s a good thing to travel with," she says. "We also have another product she likes and takes with her: Dermbasics Glycolic Acid Pads 20%. They remove the stratum corneum, increase collagen and elastin, keep pores clean and appearing small, and even out discoloration."
When Jolie visits Rand's office for treatments, their main goal is to reduce pigmentation from the sun. "When I got pregnant, I had darker areas [on my face] that got darker. So I do IPL [intense pulsed light] every once in a while," Jolie told InStyle. Rand added that she does light laser resurfacing in addition to IPL. "[Laser resurfacing is] used to improve your skin and give it a little bit of a glow, but it’s a little more than a facial...And sometimes, when she’s in very sunny climates working, she can get some pigmentation, too. We can help take care of that with a photofacial or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). We’re super careful. None of these things change the quality of your skin or cause scarring," she notes.
