Bradley Cooper is one of Hollywood’s unlikeliest movie stars. Cooper did not start acting until his mid-20s, with small parts in Sex and the City and Wet Hot American Summer. After a starring role in Alias, Cooper had a memorable appearance in Wedding Crashers. Who would have thought that Sack Lodge would go on to become a nine-time Academy Award nominee?
Cooper’s career trajectory shifted after the success of The Hangover. From that point on, Cooper would become a leading man in Hollywood. Cooper then ripped off a string of critically acclaimed hits, like Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and American Sniper. Cooper’s versatility is his strength, as the 48-year-old can act in any genre. Now, Cooper is a well-respected writer-director thanks to A Star Is Born and Maestro.
