following the incredible success of The Hangover Bradley Cooper has become a huge movie star. Cooper was nominated for nine Oscars in his career and be part of the largest film franchise in the world in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Apparently Cooper did it all, but he would never have been able to do it if he didn’t get over his drug addiction, and Cooper says actor Will Arnett is why he was able to do it.
appearing in the smart podcast , hosted by Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, Bradley Cooper says in the early 2000s he tried to emulate the style of many “angry” comedians of the time and, in doing so, hurt people. . It seems Cooper didn’t realize the impact he had on people, so it took an honest conversation with Will Arnett to see things clearly. Cooper said …
[Will] It was like, ‘Hey, remember we had dinner the other night? How do you think it was? I remember going to dinner thinking it was hilarious, and I thought these two guys who were my heroes thought it was funny … I thought it was cool. I thought he killed. And Will Arnett says to me, “You’ve been a real jerk, man. You’ve been a real jerk. And I was like, ‘What?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah. And by the way, have your dogs gone to the bathroom? I was like,’ What? What time is it? ‘ ‘4:00’ ‘Oh no.’ “I think they have to go to the bathroom, I’m literally standing by the door.” And it was like the first time I realized I had a drug and alcohol problem. And Will told me, and he didn’t. I’ll never forget it. Oh, the guy I think is in a bad mood tells me the truth and it changed my whole life. That’s when I stopped chasing that little bit of humor.
It’s not an unusual story for those in Hollywood to deal with substance abuse problems. stars like Ben Affleck was also open about his struggles with alcohol. . Bradley Cooper had achieved some level of success at this point in his career. He had just left his role Aliasbut there were still a few years to join the cast of The Hangover and true fame. Cooper says at this point he had almost no self-esteem and was using angry comedy as a shield.
Will Arnett was one of the people Bradley Cooper says he admires for trying to incorporate this type of comedy into his style. Arnett’s comedy can be offensive , but people who know him know that this is not quite the case. Because of this, he admits that the conversation with someone else may not have had the same impact. Since it was Arnett, Cooper really heard the words. He continued later in the interview …
[Will] I ran the risk of having this difficult conversation with myself in July 2004, which put me on the path to a decision to change my life. It really was Will Arnett. He is the reason.
Bradley Cooper certainly credits Will Arnett for helping him get to where he is today. Although Arnett is very good at being an asshole on television, it seems like he’s a really good guy and was able to help Bradley Cooper become one as well. Cooper has a solid list of projects on the horizon. that we could never have seen without these events, for which fans can be grateful.
