The Sci-fi thriller 1 Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper as a writer who takes a pill to maximize his brain power has topped the North American film chart. The newly film Limitless is screened on March 18 and now let’s have a discovery about the leading star Bradley Cooper’s wonderful Hollywood journey.
Cooper was born in Philadelphia and graduated from the university with a BA degree in English in 1997. Besides, he has also studied French and lived in France for 6 months. Without the intention to be a linguist 2, instead, he entered Hollywood step by step.
Cooper began his professional acting 3 career on the television series Sex and the City in 1998 and made his film debut 4 in Wet Hot American Summer in 2001.Later he joined Julia Roberts to star in Three Days of Rain on Broadway but this didn’t win him too much appreciation 5..
But the turning point of his career came in 2009 after his role in the comedy Hangover. The film with little costs, won fully 6 at the box office that year. And Cooper finally reached a milestone 7 in his acting journey. But much to our surprise, Cooper expressed that he preferred to cast a role in action films rather than be adored as a comedian 8. Then, maybe for his manifestation 9, he starred in a series of action films like The A-Team and The Dark Fields later on.
Judging from his appearance, Cooper is the style for Hollywood. With a height of 185 cm and exquisite 10 looking, he is no doubt a handsome guy with manhood. But you have to admit that most Hollywood journey begins with a queer beginning step. Cooper said it was more than an irony 11 that he gained reputation as a comedian for he is not funny at all. But, anyway, we seem to love his comedies, actions, thrillers 12 all the same. So just enjoy the film and enjoy his wonderful performance.
