Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper – Skuespilleren med det store talent

Bradley Charles Cooper er en amerikansk skuespiller, der er født den 5. januar 1975 i Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Han kommer fra en blanding af italiensk og irsk baggrund, med sin mor Gloria Campano, der er italiensk-amerikaner, og sin far Charles John Cooper, der var irsk-amerikaner og arbejdede som aktiemægler.

Cooper blev uddannet fra Georgetown University i 1997 med en æresgrad i Engelsk, og flyttede straks til New York City for at studere en kandidatgrad i skuespil på Actors Studio Drama School ved New School University. Det var her, han udviklede sit scenearbejde, og han afsluttede sin uddannelse med at optræde som John Merrick i Bernard Pomerances teaterstykke The Elephant Man, der blev opført på Circle in the Square i New York.

Tidlig karriere og gennembrud

Allerede mens han var i skole begyndte Bradley sin professionelle karriere, hvor han optrådte sammen med Sarah Jessica Parker i Sex and the City (1998) og i dramaserien The Beat (2000). Han arbejdede også frivilligt som underviser hos LEAP (Learning through the Expanded Arts Program), en non-profit organisation, der underviser skuespil og bevægelse til børn i indre by.

Bradley fik sin filmdebut i Wet Hot American Summer (2001) og fortsatte med at spille i Bending All the Rules (2002). Han fik sit store gennembrud, da han blev castet til rollen som Will Tippin i tv-serien Alias (2001), hvor han spillede sammen med Jennifer Garner.

Cooper fortsatte med at spille støttende roller i film som Wedding Crashers (2005) og Failure to Launch (2006), men det var i 2009, at han for alvor brød igennem. Han spillede hovedrollen i filmene Hes Just Not That Into You, The Hangover og Valentines Day, der alle blev store succeser.

Oscar-anerkendelse og fortsat succes

I 2012 modtog Bradley Cooper en Oscar-nominering som bedste mandlige skuespiller for sin præstation i filmen Silver Linings Playbook, hvor han spillede over for Jennifer Lawrence. Han blev derefter nomineret to gange i træk for bedste mandlige birolle i filmene American Hustle (2013) og bedste mandlige hovedrolle i filmen American Sniper (2014), der var den mest indtjenende film det år.

Udover sine oscar-nomineringer har Bradley Cooper også spillet med i succesfulde film som The Hangover Part II og III, The A-Team, Limitless og Guardians of the Galaxy, hvor han lagde stemme til karakteren Rocket Raccoon.

I 2015 spillede Bradley hovedroller i komedierne Aloha og Burnt, og han genforenede sig med Jennifer Lawrence og instruktøren David O. Russell i filmen Joy.

Personligt liv

I 2017 fik Bradley Cooper en datter med sin tidligere partner, model Irina Shayk.

Bradley Cooper er kendt for sit gode udseende og sine karakteristiske blå øjne. Han taler også flydende fransk og har tidligere givet interviews på fransk.

Bradley Cooper er en skuespiller, der konstant leverer fantastiske præstationer og beviser sit store talent. Han arbejder ofte sammen med instruktørerne David O. Russell og Clint Eastwood samt skuespilleren Jennifer Lawrence og har skabt et imponerende repertoire af film.
