Bradley Cooper is an American actor, producer and director. He has been nominated for four Academy Awards and one Tony Award. He became famous from the movie The Hangover. Cooper received Oscar nominations from 2013 to 2015 for his roles in Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and American Sniper.
Born on January 5, 1975 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, his zodiac sign is Capricorn. His middle name is Charles.
Cooper was raised in a Catholic family from a young age. He became closer to God after a brief stint in rehab. In an interview he mentioned that he prays daily and that he didn’t lose his virginity until the age of 17.
Cooper is a democrat who has donated money to other democratic candidates. In 2016 he signed a letter with a group of actors thanking Obama for his actions about gun control. Cooper donated money to the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2000 when she was running for senator. In 2016 he attended the Democratic Convention. This caused some confusions as some people thought he was a Republican because of his role in American Sniper. This was simply an acting role and in no way was a reflection of his beliefs.
His hobbies include riding motorbikes, listening to music, and reading. One of his most favorite hobbies is actually cooking. When he was younger he would love to cook for his friends and have them try new recipes he made. Oddly enough he even plays the role as a chef in the movie, Burnt.
He is currently dating Irina Shayk. They have one child together.
From 2006 to 2007 Bradley was married to actress Jennifer Esposito.
Cooper missed his graduation to be in the movie Wet Hot American Summer. He had just started his acting career and this was an opportunity he couldn’t afford to pass up. Another interesting fact is that Cooper is incredibly smart. Not only is he fluent in French but he also graduated with honors from Georgetown with an English degree. He has thought about going back to school to get his doctors in English and to start teaching it in school.
