Academy Award-winner Bradley Cooper wasn't always calm, cool, and collected prior to filming... especially at the start of his career.
While speaking at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Thursday, Feb. 8, Cooper reminisced about his brief appearance on the hit HBO show Sex and the City in 1999, in which he played one of Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) momentary flings.
In the episode, Cooper's character drives a sports car. Apparently, in order to land the role, Cooper lied about being able to drive the manual vehicle, Deadline reports.
“I remember when I got the call to do it I was terrified. ‘What do you mean I’m actually going to have to do it?’" he said. "I couldn’t drive a stick shift, so they sent me to Models Driving School and I was just terrified."
