Bradley Cooper

Was he presenting hole during the interviews?

Seriously, what is there to "hate" about Bradley Cooper? What has he ever done to instill actual hate in people? (I should say posters on DL. People I know seem to like him just fine.)

OP your gaydar is broken. Watch him check out Tim McGraw in this Fallon clip. He moves in for the kill at the 2:17 mark.

Zero percent gay - it's just fun for people to fantasize.

He’s gay.

Wow, that picture up top proves he really is over 6 feet tall(I assumed like all actors he was fudging it a bit in listing his specs.)

I have stood next to Fallon before and he is 6 foot legit, so Cooper must be about 6'1 1/2, Nice,

Victor Garber brought his "Alias" co-star Bradley Cooper with him to the Emmys after the show's premiere season.

That's pretty fuckin' gay.

R2 people hate him cause he’s overhyped and over praised. He has yet to give a performance that’s truly amazing since Silver Linings Playbook and yet everything sees praise.

He was ridiculous in American Hustle and don’t get me started on all the praise and nominations for American Sniper. That was bullshit.

Now he said overpraised for A Star is Born, in which the movie itself is all hype. He wasn’t good but nothing significant, but he will most likely win the Oscar.

OP it's a given that all good looking/hot actors in Hollywood are gay. No proof needed.

Danny DeVito and Ron Pearlman are not gay.

Except Bradley Cooper isn't good looking. Unless you find Barry Manilow hot.

Years ago (Lainey I think) who has a blind items column called out Cooper, by full name, for his PNP behavior in Palm Springs. I don't know if he is gay - and I don't really care. Who knows?

See link

There was that time he and Gerard Butler dressed alike at Wimbledon. That seemed pretty gay.

R3 I like the BCoop is a cockgobbler story as much as your typical DLer, but that’s a stretch.

He has much bigger muscles than the famous cockgobbler.

I have a homophobic aunt who swears that almost everyone famous is gay, now I come to DL and they are saying everyone famous is gay.

Aaaaaaaah, so's your aunt.

I let him fuck me hard mmmmmm

I don't hate him but why did he do that gross sniper movie?

Mmmmmm my gaping gash is ready mmmmm

Yeah but Lainey's the one who was totally convinced that Johnny Depp and Vanessa were absolutely devoted to each other--she went on and on about how in sync they were at the Oscars because when Depp held out his hand without looking, Vanessa was right there to grab it. She was swooning over how wonderful Depp was etc. etc. Of course, when that fell apart and Depp ended up with Heard, Lainey turned on him in a whiplash second.

Not that anyone else is wrong about BC but I wouldn't use Lainey as confirmation.

Tay-Tay..I will cut a bitch.

It's been rumored for many years (didn't Ted Casablanca give him a nick name? Not Toothy Tile, because that's Jakey Poo)but there's also a pattern of what looks like obvious bearding. There are some really stiff and phony looking photos of him cavorting on a beach with his current woman, in what seems to be an obvious set up for the papps.

And, he has zero chemistry with women.

Whatever you think of Cooper's acting - it's not great but it's serviceable - you got to give him credit for going to Glastonbury and singing in front of that crowd to film it without any back up plan in case the whole thing went south. They could have booed him or thrown bottles and that would have put the end note on ASIB.

Besides the Garber at the Emmys episode (where Victor introduced Cooper to Joan Rivers on the red carpet as "my fine young friend"), there were the multitude of rumors about Cooper and Liam Neeson during the making of the A-Team Movie (and just after Neeson's wife Natasha Richardson suddenly died - Cooper was there to "comfort" his "friend" Liam). Plus Cooper's quickie marriage and divorce with Jennifer Esposito... google that!

And let's face it - Cooper's version of ASIB is SO CLOSE to the Cukor/Garland version - certainly closer than it is to the first version or the Streisand version - and all the talk about it being his "pet project" for so long - only a queen would want to remake a Judy Garland movie.

R25 I haven't seen the movie yet, but I would have thought it would be closer to the Streisand version, just going by the visuals, he seems to really be going for the Kris Kristofferson look, and it is set in the music industry not film.

Setting aside, beat for beat it is the Garland epic in modern dress. There are even scenes where the dialogue is the same...

I love the part where Bradley sings "You Took Advantage of Me" coquettishly to wolfish talent managers.

I can't see it being like the Garland version. That film was focused on Garland's character and her reactions. Cooper's version is totally focused on his character and his backstory.

I never really thought much about him being gay, but yeah, remaking a star is born with lady gaga?

For his next picture, he'll be playing Martin Channing in the remake of "All About Steve" that he's also written and directed.

When he did Howard Stern on one of his first interviews during the sexiest man alive hoopla Stern said "Now you must have girls throwing themselves at you left right and center and you can get any woman you want it must be great ..."

And Cooper just forced a smile and it froze on his face and he just said "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ..." a few times ... it was not very believable or comfortable.

But that doesn't make him gay.

SLP was a Dreadful film. Even Deniro tired in that one. Ridiculous down to Indian at ball park.

Military film his only good acting performance.

BC tries too hard and yet wants to be "The Shit."

Must have been a package deal with Deniro, Jennifer Lawrence and Cooper. Z Let's leave Miss Ga Ga out of this discussion. Not Our Miss Streisand by longshot!

Holy shit, do we really have people here who think he's straight? And no, this isn't one of those "every attractive celebrity is gay on DL" situations. This is a "Holy shit, do we really have people here who think he's straight?" situation.

Really looking forward to his Leonard Bernstein biopic. The press for that will be very interesting considering all the gay rumors.

You almost forget he used to look like this. His weird plastic surgery changed his face a lot. I suspect he was going for more masculine features.

Bradley met Prince William at the BAFTAs and Wills said to him "I didn't know you could sing so well". Do you think Bradley wet his panties?

He just doesn't do much for me personally. Nice looking though and at times a hot body.

Yes. I always said he was really handsome when he started but don’t see it now at all. Think he looks bad.

He's definitely had work done on his jaw and chin, and obviously gets botox every now and then.

I thought he was hot when he was the fun, sexy, actor from the hangover. Now his serious artist persona is vomit inducing, and a major turn off.

...straight?

Daddy

Buddies

[quote] He's definitely had work done on his jaw and chin, and obviously gets botox every now and then.

His face changed almost overnight. We talked about it a lot here when it happened.

R41 that’s not Cooper

He's very handsome and talented and everyone here would sell the mother for a chance with him.

Of course it is, R45.

He has had work done but I can't discern exactly what. Almost looks like some odd procedure to give him more of a square jaw. Also his eyes got heavier and lower. Any experts here?

R46, he was sort of cute earlier but after the massive plastic surgery he practically became someone else. I wouldn't necessarily even recognize him nowadays.

I have yet to give up hope that I will ultimately become Mrs. Bradley Cooper.

But Cheryl, What about your "Condition?"

Hi Bradley!

I do not find him handsome or cute. He looks like a worm. He’s uggggglllllyyy.

I don’t find him attractive either.

He's a stud regardless - I would rim him deep!!!

R55 I think you would rim even a toilet seat. Horny and young...

Wanna know what Coop likes? Rent "Wet Hot American Summer."

The pinnacle of my career, in more ways than one.

I'd like to know how many people here have seen the new ASIB and liked it. There was a discussion in one of the threads about the Streisand version, and the consensus was that it sucked. I had fond memories of that but was willing to dismiss them - I'd only seen the movie once at the age of 14, when it first came out (never saw the older ones). I sat down to watch BC's version with an open mind but hated everything about it except the OK performances. It looked like low-budget trash with a shorthand script, bland musical numbers, and no character development. I then rewatched the Streisand version, which seemed like a masterpiece in comparison. But the critics are unanimous that BC's version is the best of the bunch and Streisand's is the worst. So I'm wondering if the problem is that I'm now officially old and unable to process new stuff, or that Marvel movies have turned younger audience into retards who are only able to process two-minute scenes and blurbs for dialogue.

I love Bc’s ASIB and I loved Bab’s version too. But now I strongly prefer Coopers version.

Love Cooper and always have as an actor and a hottie, but he looks like a different person and I agree with prior poster that I really can’t figure out why. Must be multiple different face things he’s had done because it’s more than just a nose job or chin work.

[quote] I then rewatched the Streisand version, which seemed like a masterpiece in comparison.

Barbra's version was and remains a masterpiece of camp.

Bradley, I know your PR people created this thread. STOP TRYING TO ATTACK RAMI AND CHRISTIAN ON DATALOUNGE, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME. Rami's going to win the Oscar and you will just have to suck it for another year (but you can take comfort in sucking off whoever lives in your home).

I think it was cheek implants or something. But he did morph into Barry Manilow overnight.

The Cooper-hatred is one of the more puzzling aspects of DL

R63, Ask Miss Esposito, college classmates, Mr. Niesan, Mr. Reynolds or Rene Z.

He clearly had his chin made broader. May have had cheek implants too. He used to have a pointy rat-faced chin. He does look more masculine. I still don't thnk he's' good looking. Sorry.

R62 - yes, he now has a Manilow quality. He was so hot in Hangover - not sure why he messed with anything.

Based on his hairline in Wedding Crashers and Alias, I would have thought he’d be balder so I’d imagine he’s messing with that too.

R63. I agree, it’s so over the top.

Looks like he had cheek implants which are just the worst. Cheek implants don't make anyone look younger or better, they just make someone look like they've had cheek implants and everybody else is like "WTF did you do to your face?" I don't know why cheek implants were even invented, they're absolutely pointless.

[quote] . . . after the massive plastic surgery he practically became someone else. I wouldn't necessarily even recognize him nowadays.

That's such an absurd statement. Yes, he may have used some intermittent Botox, had some fillers, laser resurfacing and even a conservative rhinoplasty, but he's certainly not undergone "massive plastic surgery."

You idiots have no idea what you're talking about OR looking at. You think EVERYONE has had tons of surgery when in reality it's just normal aging. Yes, most actors and actresses have had some form of surgery and some have decidenly had quite a bit; however, the notion that Cooper has undergone any kind of facial implant surgery is just uneducated. Nothing in his appearance supports ANYTHING other than, possibly, a conservative rhino and other non-surgical procedures.

R69, this is right after his face had a massive change. I'm not an expert on plastic surgery procedures but it's obvious he did something.

Of course you hate him OP- everyone hates successful movie stars they don't know. Imagine the dozens of additional people you must hate given that hate comes to you so easily!

He’s. Not. Good. Looking.

Seriously what are you all looking at?

I also have never found him good-looking.

No, it's not R69. That's just an odd photograph of him. If you look at other photographs from that same time period you'll see. I'm not at all saying he's never had a scalpel to his face; on the contrary he probably has. He's most definitely had a minor (very skilled) rhinoplasty. But other than structural changes to to aging and weight gain, there's absolutely nothing whatsoever to support "massive surgery" claims. Your posts put him on same level as Kyle Jenner or Heidi Montag and that's just not accurate.

^ I'm R69, incidentally.

And R74 is directed at R70, not R69.

His cheeks are not the same as they were years ago.

He was hot on that jennifer love hewitt /sigourney weaver movie but it’s all been downhill since. His nosejob and chin are repulsive now.

I think he's sexy and a slut, fucks everything

R69, you're desperately trying to pretend he's had nothing massive done on his face. When someone's appearance changes so much people don't recognize them it's obvious something major has happened. I've no idea if it was plastic surgery, implants or just tons of botox in all the wrong places but anyone with eyes can see his face changed a lot.

R69/R74, this is datalounge. People think that it is impossible to be good looking without shitloads of surgery. It makes them feel better about their own dismal appearance.

I see a nose job and some botox and that's it. People's faces do change when they age and get heavier.

I do not see any change in his looks other than aging. Trolls everywhere.

Once edgy, handsome and tall. Now needy Of ALL Awards, Celebrity Clout and ATTENTION from the Industry. Over-reaching and Overstudied.

This may be Bradley's first film role. Great comedy, a sleeper hit.

(Bradley plays 'one of us.')

She one uggo mo.

I’ve loved him since seeing the first Hangover in the movies back when it came out, and I’ve gone to see just about all of his films since, own most of his movies on DVD and even saw him on Broadway in The Elephant Man.

Wasn't he married to Jennifer Esposito and it ended badly? I thinks she made all kinds of accusations against him.

What is this?

r3, What? I didn't see anything.

r58, loved this version of ASIB. The music industry is what is similar with the Babs version but that is where it ends. Kris Kristopherson's version was jealous of his wife's career. Bradley's isn't. He is more of the mentor and supporter for her more like the Judy Garland version. He is upset that she is changed from the real storyteller to some fake commercial pop star. His undoing is the fear that he is holding her back.

R86, MARY!

I don't know if he's gay, nut there have been rumors for years that he's a terrible lover of women; he supposedly talks constantly amd in an annoying way. You need to know what you're doing to get away with talking a lot in bed, sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing and what a turn off that would be. All the money in the world wouldn't make up for a shitty fuck.

Cooper has been in too many longterm relationships with women for him to be gay, and he has a child. At most, he's Bi with a preference for women.

[quote] Cooper has been in too many longterm relationships with women for him to be gay

sure

r93 hasn't heard of the closet and the pressures of Hollywood maintaining the handsome leading man role. Have you heard of George Clooney? He's kept it up for decades and is married with 2 kids.

Nobody has proof about Clooney. It’s just a bunch of gay men wishful thinking.

I would love to have seen he and Gerard Butler fucking - you Gerard fucked the hell out him. Damn that’s a hot pairing!

OP, all you're missing is that DLers are wacko about having every cutish male celebrity be gay.

R93, MARY!!!!

It's twu its twu!!!!

Bradley’s PR Rep.

Bradley’s PR Rep. = OP.

He will never win an Oscar unless he comes out, like Tammy Cruise.

Cooper looks like Tig Notaro in R80.

R80 he almost looks like Bradley is transitioning.

Irina Shaik is a professional beard. She was Cristiano Ronaldo's beard don't forget. She wanted a kid I guess, so he donated his sperm. Or he wanted a kid and paid her exorbitant amounts of money to give birth. The guy brings his mother to every red carpet. Has there ever been a straight guy who did that? I can't think of one. He is so obviously gay. Don't believe his PR posse.

[quote]The guy brings his mother to every red carpet. Has there ever been a straight guy who did that? I can't think of one.

Oh, hi!

It's a shame that Bradley can't just live as an openly gay man, but that's Hollywood for you.

R106- True but Johnny Depp brought his mother to the Oscars. If Vanessa hadn't been around, he probably would have brought his mother to every award show.

R99 MARY!

MARY!

MARY!

[quote] But the critics are unanimous that BC's version is the best of the bunch and Streisand's is the worst.

The Garland version is the best.

His Bernstein project will bring even more gay rumors.

There is a coterie of DLers who have an irrational hatred of Cooper.

Never quite understood it.

Hanging out with Freddie Prinze Jr

Backstage with Jack Difalco at The Ferryman

[quote]Hanging out with Freddie Prinze Jr

AA meeting.

202. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 03/16 **#4**

This A+ list mostly movie actor has been spending time apart from his beard and more time with his long time boyfriend. Bradley Cooper (Irina Shayk) (Bradley Cooper zooms away on his motorcycle after casual lunch with a friend in Brentwood)

There are so many stories about him blowing producers in their offices to get roles (prior to 'Wedding Crashers," after which he became a star) that it's almost impossible to discount them.

There's also his close, close friendship over the years with Victor Garber.

And his tight gym body.

Here's a real one if you bitches won't crucify me. Bradley was a doorman at Morgans hotel on Madison when he was in acting school. Morgans was Ian Schrager's first business effort after getting out of jail from the Studio 54 stuff. Ian hired very handsome guys as doormen, bellboys, room service etc. (and by the way, Morgans was his best hotel of all imo). Anyway, Bradley was hooking up with a friend of mine from Brown who was hired there (great looking, blond water polo guy from CA) and at that time was about as "out" as one could be. The two of them showed up about a dozen times at various parties etc. No one fuckin believes this shit but what do I care. My water polo friend from college is married w 2 kids now so what the hell do I know.

R119 Thanks for the info. Coop’s gay rumors go back 17 years. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

R117 are we assuming Freddie Prinze Jr. is his boyfriend? I know Fred is Married to SMG. Freddie’s eyes look manic in that photo at R114.

Wait, after I clicked and expanded on FPJ (R114’s ) photo and looked at FPJ he looks sick. Is he ok?

[quote] That's such an absurd statement. Yes, he may have used some intermittent Botox, had some fillers, laser resurfacing and even a conservative rhinoplasty, but he's certainly not undergone "massive plastic surgery."

Yes, Mrs. Wildenstein.

But you still have to understand normal people don't have ANY of those procedures. No conservative rhinoplasties, no laser resurfacings, no filler injections, and not even intermittent Botox.

I've never had the impression Cooper was gay. DiCaprio? Definitely. At any rate, if Cooper is gay, it didn't stop GaGa from falling madly in love with him.

The boyfriend

It's a shame he can't live his life as an openly gay man, but that's Hollywood for you.

Is this the same guy?

R125 Bradley is actually smiling and showing his teeth with this man. You can tell he is very happy in his presence. Good for Brad. Too bad, he cannot escape Hollywood and live his truth. Must be emotionally difficult.

So if Bradley and Irina split up, who keeps the kid? Is this basically her kid to begin with? What was in their contract?

R129 They would share custody. He loves his little girl. Irina is nothing but a paid womb. 90% of the time they’re out together he’s the one carry her.

r124 has never heard of acting.
