Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper was born on January 5, 1975 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He graduated from Georgetown University in 1997 with the Honor English program. From there he decided to go to New York to continue his studies, this time in the Master of Fine Arts at the Actors Studio. His graduation acting performance was the great role of John Merrich in the performance of “The Elephant Man.” And he was still involved in these studies when he landed his first role on the small screen, an appearance on an episode of Sex and the City in 1999. Cooper’s career certainly wasn’t one he forged in a day. . He got more television presence in another series, The $treet, where he appeared in five episodes. He also collaborated as a host for Discovery Channel documentaries, something he enjoyed, as he loved to move in the middle of nature, whether it was in the ocean or on snowy peaks.

Wet Hot American Summer (2001) was his first work for the cinema, a forgettable film, typical hooliganism full of sexual jokes. The filming of this film prevented Cooper from attending her graduation ceremony at the Actors Studio. Then would come his appearance in My Little Eye (The Chamber of Secrets) (2002), a forgettable horror movie.

Relocated to Los Angeles, a giant step in Cooper’s acting career was his casting in the JJ Abrams television series Alias . He was the journalist in love with Sidney Bristow ( Jennifer Garner ) and unrequited Will Tippin, a character who gave a lot of play, at first without knowing the professional dedication of her friend, then entangled in the paranoid conspiracy of secret organizations.

Aside from appearing in sporadic episodes of various series, Cooper was most active in Touching Evil , Jack & Bobby , Kitchen Confidential , Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Nip/Tuck: Under the Knife . Meanwhile, his film interventions seemed to be reduced to secondary presences in more or less goofy comedies, albeit with some box office success, such as From Wedding to Wedding (2004) -along with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn- , Bride by Hire (2006) -with Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker -, Say Yes(2008) -with the guy with the thousand faces Jim Carrey- and A rocker with balls (2008).

He had a leading role in El vagón de la muerte (2008), a scary B-series. In fact, he returned to terror in 2009 with File 39 , where he stars in one of the most shocking scenes in the film, about his phobia of wasps. ; Precisely in this film she would marry the protagonist, a Renée Zellweger who was debuting in the horror genre. He had previously married actress Jennifer Esposito in 2006 , but the marriage did not last a year. Precisely in 2006 she performed the play “Three Days of Rain” by Richard Greenberg , on Broadway, along with Julia Roberts -who was debuting on the stage- and Paul Rudd .

Cooper has also attracted attention as the lying husband of Jennifer Connelly , who flirts with Scarlett Johansson , in the ensemble film What Happens to Men ; but the film that has made him a celebrity is undoubtedly the hit comedy of the year The Hangover , which with its hooligan and somewhat surreal air, revolves around the disappearance of a boyfriend on the eve of his wedding, after celebrating his farewell to single, has earned the approval of the public. Surely for this reason he will be forgiven for what many call a fiasco, his work with Sandra Bullock in Crazy Obsession .

Now this blonde with light eyes, several days’ beard and a nice appearance – could such a physique be the product of his father’s Irish heritage and his mother’s Italian heritage? – has two films in his pipeline. A romantic ensemble, Valentine’s Stories , and the translation to the screen of the television series The A-Team , where he will give life to Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, the character that Dirk Benedict embodied on the small screen . When people point out how lucky he’s been lately, he replies: “I don’t know, I’m a guy from Fila [by Philadelphia], I don’t know shit about anything.”
