Bradley Cooper had a memorable experience meeting JAY-Z and Beyoncé. The actor, 49, met with the powerhouse couple to get the Renaissance songstress to play Ally, an aspiring singer, in A Star is Born, before the role ultimately went to Lady Gaga.
Cooper explained that he pitched Beyoncé for the role to studio executive Greg Silverman, who told him he would do it if he could get the singer as the lead and 'make it for under $25 million.'
