American Sniper

Film Appearance0 Comments

In this drama directed by Clint Eastwood based on a book by Jason Hall, Cooper plays Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in American history. Co-starring:Sienna Miller, Luke Grimes,Kyle Gallner, Ben Reed and Elise Robertson. On getting Eastwood involved:

Now, you don’t really persuade Clint to do anything, he’s either going to do it or he’s not. But I said, ‘Hey, Clint, how you doing?’ ‘Bradley, how are you?’ And he’s like [Cooper speaks in this spot-on impression of Eastwood], ‘Yeah, I’m reading this Chris Kyle thing, 10 or so pages at night in-between shooting, yeah, so I guess Steven [Spielberg]’s not doing it, huh?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, and I have to say I just watched Unforgiven again, and there are a lot of similarities. I love the idea of treating this like a Western, and investigating this guy and his psyche.’ Clint goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, call me on Monday, let me take a look at the script.’ I said, OK, great, Clint, thank you.

What happened on the next call?

He says [in a hoarse whisper], ‘Yeah, let’s make this f*cker.’ And that was it. I was like, ‘OK, Clint.’

Plays air guitar

TV Appearance0 Comments

Cooper performs air guitar to Young’s solo Down By the River on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.

When I was a kid I had a lot of time on my hands and there’s this one song by Neil Young. I don’t know if everybody knows this, and I’m sort of proud that I know it. It’s just the guitar solo from Down by the River, to air guitar to it is so meaningless, but I’d love to give you a little taste. It’s long!

I have to believe it. If I believe it, then there’s a chance you’ll believe it. If I don’t believe it, I’m f-cked.

We’ve had so much fun working together, and I’m so proud of her success. She’s one of the most down to Earth and unpretentious individuals you could ever meet, and it’s such a pleasure to spend time with her.

This is so special and surreal and I’m truly honored. The nominations by the Academy for my fellow cast members, David and the film are a true tribute to David O. Russell, our mentor. I feel very lucky and humbled today.

Bradley Cooper interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Cooper during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his character’s romance in the film Silver Linings Playbook.

They (the characters Pat and Tiffany) actively loathe each other with such tenacity that chances are there’s something going on. We laughed a lot. It’s a weird movie in that sense. Because it’s kind of down and dirty, it’s real, we made it as authentic as we could.

bcooperCooper appears on the cover of People after he is named Sexiest Man Alive. He is not only a great actor but can speak French and cook. On advice from his parents:

Be yourself’-that’s the biggest gift I got from my parents. I was never forced in any direction. I was presented with all these opportunities, but never did I feel like, ‘Oh, God, I have to make my parents proud.’ All my pressure has been self-imposed my whole life. It’s all been self-generated judgment.

Elle Magazine interview

Interview0 Comments

Cooper gives interview to Elle about his favorite moments on state during the Broadway show Three Days of Rain. 

My favorite moment on stage was one night there’s a scene between me and Julia; we’re both sitting downstage, near the audience. And there was a person right in front of us, I don’t know who she was, but if I just, like, moved my eyebrow she was like, Hahahaahah! Laughing at everything I did this cackle to the point where I literally was just trying to say my lines and not move. It got to the point she’s like the third character in the play at this point. And I was looking at Julia and she just started laughing and I started laughing, and it’s like, Oh my God, I am not going to be able to stop laughing and there are a thousand people watching us right now.
