If Bradley came out...

...Do you think his career would survive?

• Yes, and we would welcome him with open arms! Wouldn't we, DL? With no sniping or backbiting from us. I said, "WOULDN'T WE!!"

• Can we please begin F&F'ing the obsessed, incessant Bradley Cooper troll? Please? ENOUGH already.

• R2 = Bradley's PR? OP, I think it is possible, actually. He kind of still would be a bro's bro. It might even be a changing moment, as I could see all the straight guys who liked The Hangover movies defending his right to be gay. Like, even "butch" guys can be gay.

• Yeah, R3, I'm "Bradley's PR"... You know, because we ALL lurk here waiting for the next asinine thread you post. F&F the OP please until he stops with these non stop threads.

• Bradley went out of his way to deny he was dating Taylor Swift or Jennifer Lawrence. The media keeps trying to hook him up he just won't cooperate. Maybe he's sick of bearding.

• No. Considering the roles he plays? Nope.

• Er, I have never posted any thread on Bradley Cooper, R2. Do you think that only one person thinks Cooper is gay?

• I wish gays were speculating on my sexuality.

• Was Zoe Saldana just his beard? They looked hot and heavy. I doubt Bradly is gay but the DL wants every man to be such.

• Yes, absolutely, if he handle his career with descretion. That is to say, he would have to remain low key and uncontroversial- or put in other words he would probably best not become a big activist. In time that may be possible. Just my opinion. (Do not take the Rupert E. route!)

• JLaw has been telling that story about fixing him up with all her friends. What's that about?

• His career would be different, but decent. He is masculine, a real dude, so people mostly would be cool with him. He is the bro type.

• I'm honestly doubting he's gay anymore but even if he is I don't think he would come out.

• Why is there a thread about Bradley Cooper every day? He's not that interesting.

• Brad and Zoe starred together in that horrible Words film. Their "romance" was an obvious PR stunt.

• Oh please. If he came out now he would be regarded as the shit scrapped off one's shoe on DL because he would have been lying for so long. He can't win.

• This is about Bradley Cooper? I thought it was about Bradley Whitford.

• Somebody thinks about this too much.

• Come out of what?

• [quote]JLaw has been telling that story about fixing him up with all her friends. What's that about? It's what hags do.

• He'll be nothing in two years regardless.

• quite honestly it would only hurt him. Now that he has gotten an oscar nom, if he came out everything would be about that - all of his interviews, all of his stories.

• He's all man!

• Honestly, it would hurt his career, and his choice of roles. Homophobia still exists. Just watch any movie where there is a tasteless&unfunny "gay joke" and listen to the snickers from the audience. Like racism, sexism, anti-semitism (read other threads on DL) prejudice still exists.

• I'm not gay!!!

  Gen.%20Omar%20Bradley

• no. that's why jennifer lawrence is trying to hook him up. she's not stupid enough to beard for him and he's got to keep selling tickets.

• In the short term, it would definitely hurt his career.

• I think the first "A-List" openly gay actor or actress really needs to be genuinely talented, and I'm not sure Cooper is the guy for that. Anyone who skates by on being "attractive" or "interesting" rather than being a good actor would most likely fail.

• [quote]I think the first "A-List" openly gay actor or actress really needs to be genuinely talented And I think they're going to have to be upfront from the beginning about being gay since straight people don't like being "led on" (especially delusional fangirls).
