Football legend Tom Brady wasn't the only star to attract attention after his mortifying televisual roast, which was livestreamed on Netflix on Monday.

As well as watching Brady squirm, audiences were also captivated by the face of Ben Affleck, who modeled a new, clean-shaven look.

Rumors quickly swirled online that the 51-year-old actor had had a facelift due to his age-defying, crease-free skin.

'Ben Affleck is on stage fresh from a facelift,' wrote one X user, while another commented, 'Ben Affleck's facelift looks insane.'

But what do the experts say? Now, speaking to DailyMail.com, plastic surgeons have given their verdict, concluding that Affleck's face is indeed not all natural.

However, rumors of a facelift are likely unfounded.

Dr Raja Mohan, a plastic surgeon in Texas, told DailyMail.com: 'In my opinion, it looks like he has had Botox and filler treatment to rejuvenate and make his face look younger. [But] it does not look like he had a facelift.

'In the prior photos, he has forehead wrinkles and crow's feet... that you don't see at all in his latest appearance, the areas look very shiny and smooth, which probably means he's had Botox.

'And then, for the jawline and cheek area, you don't see that loss of volume like you do in earlier photos, so he's probably had some filler there.'

He added: 'I don't think he's had a facelift because the change in his appearance is not that dramatic, which would be expected with that type of procedure.'

Affleck appeared clean-shaven ahead of his appearance in The Accountant 2, with fans assuming his new fuzz-free look is in aid of his role.

But even with the beard, pictures show very few signs of aging on Affleck's face since 2016.

Sources for the star suggested exclusively to DailyMail.com last night that Affleck had had Botox, but he shied away from fillers.

'Ben looks great,' the source said, 'He had Botox — everyone gets it before events. He has not had filler and definitely no surgery.'

In July last year, it was suggested that Affleck had had Botox after his 'image conscious' wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, urged him to 'polish his looks'.

Botox lasts for three to six months on average.

DailyMail.com reached out to Affleck's representatives for comment.
