Bradley Cooper is the Wolf Pack's resident hunk that proves he can also be goofy or funny the same time. Here are some information about Cooper so far. Here's the link for my direct review of Hangover Part III.

Newly minted
as a Best Actor Academy Award-nominee for “Silver Linings Playbook,” Bradley
Cooper returns as high school English teacher and unofficial pack leader Phil,
in Warner Bros.’ and Legendary Pictures’ mayhem comedy “The Hangover Part III.”
It’s been
two years since the Wolfpack’s misadventure in Bangkok. Phil, Stu (Ed Helms)
and Doug (Justin Bartha) are happily living uneventful lives at home. The
only member of the gang who’s not content is Alan (Zach Galifianakis).
Still lacking a sense of purpose, the group’s black sheep has ditched his meds
and given into his natural impulses in a big way—which, for Alan, means no
boundaries, no filters and no judgment—until a personal crisis forces him to
finally seek the help he needs.
And who
better than his three best friends to make sure he takes the first step.
This time, there’s no bachelor party. No wedding. What could
possibly go wrong? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets
are off.
Cooper says
of the final film of the trilogy, “There are little story points we maybe
glanced by in the original that become pivotal pieces in the larger
whole. Speaking as a fan, myself, watching these movies, the best
part—and certainly the funniest—is putting it all together.”
While Alan’s
unhealthy relationship with disaster-magnet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) ranks high
on the list of things that skew his approach to life, there isn’t a single
member of the Wolfpack who hasn’t been affected by its fallout. “It comes to
light that Chow did something during the time of the first movie that greatly
pissed off a very dangerous enemy. He compounded that offense during the
second, and it’s all going to come back on him now—and on Alan, Phil, Stu and
Doug,” warns producer Dan Goldberg.
Again, it’s
Phil who is the first to lose patience. However, once dragged in, he will
likely be the last to give up. Though some see this alpha-male character
as the most level-headed of the group, Cooper disagrees. “If Phil
represents the voice of reason, that’s a pretty messed up reality they’re
living in,” he suggests. “I think Phil’s view on life is demented in its
own way. He can be highly moral but, at the same time, it’s a very
specific and personal code. He marches to the beat of his own drum, so he
may seem rational on the surface, but he’s actually willing to go to some
pretty extreme places to get things done.”
“This movie
was rugged, brutal, massive,” adds Cooper. “I mean, we have parachutes
flying around Vegas at night, wild animals in places where they shouldn’t be,
lots of crazy things going on. But it’s all grounded. I don’t think
there was ever a point where [director] Todd [Phillips], or anyone, thought,
‘Let’s outdo the first or the second film.’ The intention was just to
tell a good story, and it feels like the normal progression of the lives of
these three guys.”
Bradley
Cooper has signed a two-year, first-look deal with Warner Bros., announcing his
production company, 22nd & Indiana.
Cooper most recently starred in the Academy Award® nominated film
“Silver Linings Playbook,” for which he received his first Academy Award®
nomination. Directed by David O’ Russell, the film was an adaptation of
the Matthew Quick serio-comic novel and also starred Jennifer Lawrence, Robert
De Niro and Jacki Weaver. “Silver Linings Playbook” debuted at the 2012
Toronto International Film Festival and went on to earn seven Oscar®
nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay,
Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.
Cooper won
the National Board of Review Award for Best Actor and the Broadcast Film
Critics Association Award for Best Actor in a Comedy for his
performance. Additionally, he received a Golden Globe Award
nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or
Musical and a Screen Actors Guild® nomination for Outstanding Performance by a
Male Actor in a Leading Role, as well as nominations from the Independent
Spirit Awards for Best Male Lead, and the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Lead
Role.
In May 2011, Cooper starred opposite Ed Helms, Zach
Galifianakis and Justin Bartha in “The Hangover Part II,”
directed by Todd Phillips, the blockbuster hit sequel to 2009’s “The Hangover,”
which was the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time. “The Hangover
Part II” went on to surpass the original in international earnings and the two
films combined have earned more than $1 billion worldwide.
