Bradley Cooper is on the cover of the latest GQ magazine, American edition. The 38 years old star has become in recent years one of the most famous actors and now he just made a disturbing confession. Before Silver Linings Playbook, Bradley Cooper starred mostly in television productions. The best known role in his early career was in Alias, as a journalist and a friend of the main character, played by Jennifer Garner. Alias series (2001-2006) did very well for Jennifer Garner's career, but almost killed Bradley Cooper. At the beginning of the series, Cooper's character was a key one to the story, but in the process his importance was significantly diminished. "I would only work three days a week. And then for the second season, I got even more sidelined. I was like, ‘Ugh.’ And then next thing you know, I was like, ‘I want to fucking kill myself.’ ” So against the advice of nearly every single person he knew, and despite having exactly zero future jobs lined up, he asked to be written off the show. “J.J. was like, ‘Okay.’ He probably would’ve fired me, anyway.” said Cooper for GQ. But his troubles were much higher in the early 2000s. His problems with drugs and alcohol affected him professionaly as he was almost never awake and hard to focus.
For nine years, however, the actor is completely recovered. Recent years have meant a real change, Cooper became one of the most acclaimed actors of our time. After becoming a box-office star of The Hangover series, the actor tested his limits in movies like Limitless or Silver Linings Playbook, where he played a tremendous role, alongside Jennifer Lawrence. Both received Oscar nominations for their performances, but only Lawrence went home with the statuette. In 2014, Cooper can be seen in American Hustle, one of the most acclaimed movies of the moment , with a dream cast: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams.
