Oscar-nominated actor Bradley Cooper credits actor-comedian Will Arnett with helping him get his life back on track in the early 2000s when "The Hangover" star was struggling with drugs and alcohol.

The "A Star Is Born" actor-director shared "a little history" he had with Arnett, his former roommate and onetime neighbor, at a time when Cooper had "zero self-esteem."
