Bradley made his acting debut in 1999 in an episode of Sex in the City. He then went on to star in Wet Hot American Summer, Wedding Crashers, Failure to Launch and He’s Just Not That Into You before breaking through with 2009’s The Hangover. He was nominated for an Oscar in 2012 for Silver Linings Playbook and again a year later for American Hustle.
Last year he was the voice of Rocket the Racoon in Guardians of the Galaxy and is currently starring in the Broadway show The Elephant Man. Critics are calling him the Best Elephant Man yet. According to the Los Angeles Times The Elephant man grossed approximately 1.1 million dollars in the last week of December alone. Bradley’s latest movie is American Sniper which grossed 850,000 in the opening week – which was amazing considering that it only opened in New York and LA – the movie will be released throughout America on January 16.
Cooper has suffered problems with alcohol but has been sober since 2004. “Bradley isn’t perfect,” says Todd Phillips, who directed him in the Hangover trilogy. “What I will say about Bradley is how evolved he is. I think it’s because he’s gone through a lot of stuff and a lot of struggle. People respond to that in different ways. The way he responds to that is by constantly evolving. He internalizes it in a way and turns it into evolution.He’s been up and been down,” she goes on. “He has really lived, for sure, but he also has managed to hold on to his child-like innocence. There’s something about him that is very pure.”
