The natural qualities of the actor allowed him to quickly conquer an army of fans. Due to intellect and talent of the screenwriter and director he has received flattering reviews from critics and nominations for the most prestigious awards in the field of art, such as Oscar, BAFTA, Grammy and Tony “.

In his childhood the future actor was diagnosed with a tumor-like formation in the middle ear, because of which he had to undergo several surgical interventions. At first, the doctors did not even give optimistic forecasts, hinting that for the boy all this could end in hearing loss. But fortunately he recovered and the only problem that Bradley still has is to use special plugs when he is about to dive into the pool.

In adolescence, the boy was cut by the glass of the lamp. He needed plastic surgery, because of the scars. Fortunately, the young body quickly regenerated and the effects of pranks became invisible with age. So Bradley Cooper could proudly bear the title of one of the most attractive men in Hollywood.

According to the memoirs of the actor, he had a serious desire to join the dramatic art after watching the iconic film by David Lynch “The Elephant Man”. The young man was so struck by what he saw that he himself began to search the Internet for information about the life of famous actors, became interested in the history of cinema and independently enrolled in a theater group.

Therefore, Bradley decided to take a student loan in the amount of 70 thousand dollars and enter the drama school in New York. Well, as you can see, it was the right way! By the way, in 2015, Bradley Cooper received the prestigious Tony Theater Award for Best Actor. The play was called The Elephant Man.

In 2005, the series “Secrets in the Kitchen” was released on television. Cooper played Jack, a riotous cook who opened his own restaurant. In many ways, this character was similar to the actor himself – the same talented cook. Yes, yes, it turned out that Bradley can cook not only an omelet, but many other tasty dishes.

According to the actor, he is more of a homebody and an ordinary guy than a handsome heartthrob. Nevertheless, thanks to the male charisma, he easily picked up the keys to the hearts of the best girls in America and beyond. In 2006 he got engaged to Jennifer Esposito. However, this marriage did not last long – after 4 months, Bradley filed for divorce. A new lofe story began on the set of the film “Case No. 39”. His partner in the picture was Renee Zellweger, and soon the couple confirmed their relationship. But their relations did not end in marriage.

Then bright brunette Zoe Saldana was replaced by Suki Waterhouse, and the latter by the Russian model Irina Shayk.

In the spring of 2015, they appeared together in public, and two years later, Irina gave birth to their common daughter, Leah. On the set of “A Star Is Born”, directed by Bradley himself, he became too friendly with Lady Gaga. They openly flirted at the Oscars, but none of them subsequently confirmed their close relationship. But that was enough for Irina Shayk – to take her daughter and move from Cooper’s house to an apartment in Manhattan.

The couple did not make loud scandals, and the father still continues to take care of baby Leah, often attending official events with her. So it is quite possible that Irina and Bradley will be together again in the future.

Bradley Cooper, who began his career mostly in comedies, has long fought for the title of a serious dramatic actor. Therefore, preparing for filming in the action movie “Sniper” required a fair amount of strength from him. First, the actor had to sweat in the gym.

Daily workouts and special nutrition made it possible to gain an additional 18 kg of muscle mass. And from just an attractive man, Bradley became a real pumped-up handsome man. Secondly, we can say that his childhood dream came true – military shooting courses were included in the preparation for the role.
