Last week at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival guest maestro star host Brad Pitt received the Artist of the Year award.
Before that, however, and for two hours, the actor-director reflected on his entire career, which began with The Hangover in 2009, during an on-stage discussion organized by the festival.
When asked about his experience in the saga that made him famous, Bradley Cooper spoke humorously about filming the first installment.
“When Ken Jeong came out of the trunk naked, we all looked at each other and said, “This movie is a winner! Cash the check guys!’he joked before adding that he and his co-stars had no idea what they were doing on set.
“We didn’t know what we were doing and we didn’t even know if it was comedy or not. We were at Caesars Palace in Vegas. I had tiger claws on my neck and we were in the elevator and people didn’t care! This is Vegas, man! I have tiger claws on my neck and they didn’t even look at us– he said with a laugh.
Saga’s flagship quartet at the time – Bradley CooperEd Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha – were still uncertain about the film’s reception: “We often said to each other, “This film will either end the career we might have had or change it.” We knew about it.“

As for whether he’ll be on the fourth Another bad trip, Bradley Cooper There is no doubt: as far as it is concerned, yes!
“I would do another without hesitation. Working with these guys… As you get older, you realize it’s all about the people you work with and that group of people is so wonderful. We love every movie we’ve done together. I would do it in a heartbeat.“

Huge commercial success
remind you Another bad trip Follows the adventures of Phil, Stu and Alan as they search for Doug, their friend who disappeared after his drunken bachelor party. Forty hours before the wedding ceremony, the groom’s three friends embark on a truly epic journey, despite their brashness: they must piece together their memories to understand what happened.
Released in 2009 Another bad trip was a phenomenal critical and commercial success. The film, which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy that year, grossed over $468 million at the worldwide box office (against a $35 million budget). It thus became the highest-grossing R-comedy ever made in the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Beverly Hills Cop for nearly 25 years. Two sequels followed in 2011 and 2013
