The strikingly gorgeous Bradley Cooper commands the cover of GQ Magazine’s January 2014 Edition. With a sparkle in his eye the actor, who became known for portraying khaki wearing, open-shirted, bit cocky yet extremely charming All-American men, seems to be signalling for the whole world to realize that he ‘has made it’. Today’s Bradley Cooper has come a long way from Alias‘ Will Tippin. With huge successes like Limitless, The Hangover Trilogy, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle under his belt, this is a more content, happy and French-speaking (who knew?) Bradley Cooper.

“You want to be able to find somebody [to cast] that makes you go, I feel like him.”
The Bradley Cooper Human Factor:
“He was to me a palpably angry person in Wedding Crashers,” David O. Russell (American Hustle) says. “And then when I met him, his answer when I said that to him revealed so much dimension and depth from him as a human being. [Cooper] said how he had been someone who was thirty pounds heavier. He had been someone who tended to be not as happy. He had used sarcasm or anger to hide behind some of his fear. He was more afraid and less happy, so he had used that bristliness to hide that. Which was such an amazing answer that I just felt a real soul connection to the person, you know?”
Bradley Cooper on being Bradley Cooper
“In the way that if—the one thing that I’ve learned in life is the best thing I can do is embrace who I am and then do that to the fullest extent, and then whatever happens, happens. The more steps I do to not do that, the farther I am away from fulfilling any potential I would have.”
