Bradley Cooper Sees His Career Take Off As Leading Man

Since his breakout in The Hangover in 2009, the handsome Cooper has been taking on more leading roles, and now the 37-year-old actor has a slate of new movies including The Words. The star recently opened up about the drug addiction he battled when he was younger, saying that the decision to give up drugs and partying entirely helped him turn his career around.

People Magazine’s 2001 Sexiest Man Alive has some big projects ahead, The Province reported. He is headed to Las Vegas to film the third installment of The Hangover, and is also bound for Toronto to promote Silver Linings Playbook and The Place Beyond the Pines at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Cooper also appeared in Hit & Run, a movie written and directed by friend Dax Shepard.

“Yeah, I have 18 films opening,” Cooper joked recently from his Hollywood hotel suite.

Cooper is now appearing in The Words, a collaboration with childhood friends Lee Sternthal and Brian Klugman that portrays Cooper as a struggling writer who buys a valise that turns out to have an old manuscript inside. Cooper’s character passes the book off as his own, earning great reviews but a conflicted conscience.

The movie itself shows just how far Bradley Cooper has come in Hollywood.

The Words was actually a project of Klugman and Sternthal dating back to 1999, the Los Angeles Times noted, but wasn’t able to get financing until Bradley Cooper’s emergence as a Hollywood star. After the break-out success of The Hangover in 2009, Cooper suddenly had new doors opened and was able to help push his friends’ movie through.

“This is a movie that got made because of our friend,” said Klugman. “The sad truth is that without him, this movie doesn’t get made.”

Cooper said he was happy to help his friends, but that the movie is good enough to stand on its own.

“It felt amazing to be able to help my friends out,” Bradley Cooper said, adding, “It wasn’t charity. I believe in them.”

Bradley Cooper Stops Drinking After He Purposely Hurt Himself Due to Drunkenness

Hollywood A-lister actor Bradley Cooper decided to quit alcohol and drugs after he once purposely hurt himself due to drunkenness.

Cooper, 37, said he once banged his head on the concrete floor after some wild partying in a vain attempt to show the world that he was a tough guy. The actor required hospital treatment after. Cooper reveals he decided to quit alcohol and drugs after that incident.

Cooper says he’s happy to be sober after years of wild drinking parties. Apparently, he’s now reaping the rewards of his decision to quit alcohol and drugs. Cooper is considered one of the top leading men in Hollywood today.

Watch out for Cooper in the film The Words alongside Avatar star Zoe Saldana, whom he dated for three months up until March this year.

We hope other actors with alcohol problems will also step up and quit the habit!

Toronto 2012: Weinstein Co. Making Big Push for Bradley Cooper's 'Pines'

TORONTO -- In talks that could lead to the first major acquisition deal of the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, The Weinstein Co. is aggressively pursuing Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines.

Box Office Report: Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana's 'The Words' Leading Soft Weekend

The drama -- starring Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes -- made its world premiere Friday night at the festival. Buyers turned out in force to see the film, one of the most-hyped acquisition titles of the festival.

A source close to the dealmaking tells The Hollywood Reporter that The Weinstein Co. has put in a bid for the film and a deal could be imminent. If so, TWC would make a natural home for the movie, having released Cianfrance's Blue Valentine, also starring Gosling, in 2010.

FILM REVIEW: The Place Beyond the Pines

WME and CAA are co-repping domestic rights to Beyond the Pines, a multi-generational drama about family and the cycle of violence, from producers Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Sierra/Affinity, Jamie Patricof, Alex Orlovsky and Lynette Howell.

Buyers had been offered a chance to bid on Beyond the Pines sight-unseen. TWC was among those making a pitch, but dealmaking stepped up upon the film's premiere.

However, many buyers at Friday's screening stressed that they wanted to gauge the film's reviews before making an offer.
