The only person who is shocked that People Magazine has finally gotten around to naming Bradley Cooper Sexiest Man Alive seems to be Bradley Cooper.
“I’m waiting for Dax Shepard to come out, and that it’s an episode of ‘Punk’d,’” he admits. “I think it’s really cool that a guy who doesn’t look like a model can have this [title]. I think I’m a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.”
Has he not seen himself in The Hangover? Or at least in the beginning of The Hangover before he becomes, well, hungover? The man can wear a suit, that’s all I’m saying. And he can act as well, which is really just gravy to the folks at People, who point to Cooper’s good looks (obviously) and box-office appeal as the reasons for their choice. They also highlight his romantic tendencies, including apparently once getting on a plane to go to the woman he was attempting to woo.
I’m pretty sure Bradley doesn’t have to go to great lengths to land the lady of his choice, but, then again, the self deprecating, “I’m just a normal guy with a crazy job”, attitude is probably part of his appeal.
