Bradley Cooper

I grew up in a very old-fashioned Roman Catholic, Italian-Irish family in Philly.

I was pretty as a child and I felt that I wasn't very manly and that plagued me for years.

I liked sports but I never really had the confidence. I was always coordinated and it came easy to me, but I didn't have the confidence to go along with the physical skill.

I used to work the graveyard shift.

I want to work with great filmmakers and great actors and get better as an actor.
