Bradley Cooper is one of Hollywood’s biggest heartthrobs. Here are the actor/director’s best pics through the years!
Bradley Cooper is such a huge Hollywood heavyweight that it’s hard to imagine he almost quit acting right before he landed 2005’s Wedding Crashers! The Philadelphia native, born in January 1975, has certainly made a name for himself in Tinseltown since that scene-stealing turn in the romantic comedy. He went on to star in one of the biggest comedies of all time, The Hangover, and its two sequels. Not to mention he gained serious acting cred with his roles in Silver Linings Playbook, American Sniper and A Star Is Born, which he also directed. After nine Oscar nominations, he finally won for Best Original Song with the hit Shallow, written alongside Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born.
Scroll through to see the best photos of the Oscar winner over the years.
