Bradley Cooper on the success of Limitless: “We were all very surprised”

via celebitchy.com

A tousled and scruffy Bradley Cooper was on the Today Show this morning. (Video above.) He came across pretty well and only talked about his new movie, Limitless with Robert DeNiro, and his upcoming film Hangover 2, which is out at the end of May. No one asked him about Renee Zellweger, and you know that Ann Curry and her sperm eyebrows* were just dying to get the scoop on the breakup but that she was told to put a lid on it ahead of time. Bradley’s “mistress is his work,” though and that’s all he’ll talk about now that he’s a leading man. On his movie Limitless being number one at the box office
Crazy, we were all very surprised. It’s a drama, it’s a thriller, it didn’t cost that much, it cost like $27 million dollars… It’s a unique story you never know how that’s going to play out in the marketplace.
On working with DeNiro
[It was] scary in a way… He’s such a great guy. It was probably the easiest time I’ve ever had acting. He’s just very present. He forces you to be present.
On his role as a lead
You’re by yourself with the director… I wish we could have shot it in sequence. Before he takes the drug he’s supposed to be heavy, so I would eat a lot of Chinese food the night before.
On Hangover Two
I’m so excited. I really feel like it could be just amazing. He seems like a decent guy and I don’t buy the stories that Renee was his beard but it’s very hard to get a read on him. Like he’s closed off somehow and seems secretive, which is how those stories got started in the first place. (That and his four month marriage.) Bradley is a big box office draw now, so we can look forward to hearing about whichever woman his publicist sends him out on a date with next. You know that will happen soon.
