I don’t know what’s up with Bradley Cooper’s wacky hair and visor combo in these pictures from a few weeks ago. This was around the time when he and Jimmy Fallon couldn’t stop laughing on The Tonight Show. They laughed for about 10 minutes about BCoop’s starring role in The Elephant Man on Broadway, which was weird. BCoop has proven himself to be a ticket-selling draw, but I feel like it’s a copout how Bradley isn’t wearing prosthetics for the role. He’s simply appearing as his handsome, serial-killer looking self onstage.
Broadway has kept BCoop busy, so he’s striking a relatively low profile for a dude who’s expected to campaign for the Oscar-baity American Sniper. He did give an interview about how he really wants to be a father and called it “my next big step in life.” This week’s issue of Star talks about how 39-year-old Bradley is eager to make babies, but Suki Waterhouse is all, “Not today, Satan.” Star describes a “birthday meltdown” as BCoop closes in on 40:
He isn’t getting any younger! Bradley Cooper’s 40th birthday is about a month away, and sources tell Star that the looming milestone has the actor questioning the current state of his romance with Suki Waterhouse.
While the American Sniper star, who has been dating the British model since February 2013, is more focused on her social life. “Bradley wants to get married and start a family,” divulges a friend, “but Suki seems perfectly content with a long-distance romance.”
Suki, who hasn’t been photographed with Bradley since September, has happily admitted that she doesn’t “really live anywhere” and frequently posts photos on social media of her jet-setting and partying lifestyle.
“Bradley sees the years stacking up and is insecure,” says the source. “He doesn’t want to have to go at it alone again.” It probably doesn’t hlelp that his ex-wife, Jennifer Esposito, tied the knot in NYC on Nov. 16.
[From Star, print edition, December 8, 2014]
If this story is true, I can’t blame Suki for not wanting to hop into marriage and family life. She’s only 22 and an enthusiastic participant on the London party circuit. She probably doesn’t want to put her modeling career on hold at such a young age. If Bradley is serious about starting a family soon, he’s with the wrong woman.
Here are photos of Bradley last month at the photocall for The Elephant Man.

Should that be true (although i don’t believe it for a second) one can’t help but wonder why this guy first decides to date a girl half his age and then expect her to settle down.
Yeah, I call BS too.
I dont buy it either, although it wouldnt surprise me if this came from his camp. Theres nothing even remotely likable about a 40 year old man dating a 22 year old model. He must think throwing in the baby thing makes it more wholesome.
Agreed. If that’s what he really wants he needs to date someone in her 30’s (or at least late 20’s).
He’s quietly shilling for that 5th Oscar spot. #nottodaysatan
#trophygirlfriend,so-literal-these-days
THIS.
Yeah, it’s pretty safe to say “I want to marry and settle down and have babies,” knowing your girlfriend is still practically a baby herself and has no intention of doing so. It would be funny if she started giving interviews saying that’s what she wants, too. He’d probably wet his pants. #notbuyingitsatan
Lol, really good point.
*Giggle-snort*
“#nottodaysatan”
LOL
But seriously, he is that creepy. Can we just call him Satan from now on?
I think it is very interesting to see stories about men wanting to be parents.. they have a “biological clock too”… (in a sense) I have found that for many men when they are about to hit 40 or so they start to think about family/kids/marriage.
I have brothers and have no problem seeing their point of view. Many men dream of being a father. Having that desire to raise children. No different than that of women. If this is even a real story then He should either find out if she (Suki) wants this.. if not move on and find someone that wants what you want at the same time. It is all about timing.
I just find their age difference so…interesting. They’re about the same as my parents were, when they met. My dad was 21, my mom 34 with three kids. I talked to my dad about it a little bit ago, and he said that his parents had completely freaked out when he told them he had married someone that much older with kids.
But it’s funny–I don’t think his biological clock was ticking (although they had my younger brother and sister within the first three years of marriage), I just think he fell in love, and then just saw kids as the package deal. But it’s interesting…
That is interesting.. but he was younger.. I was I guess talking about men of a certain age.
People say women mature earlier than men.. I don’t think that is the case all the time. He obviously found his ONE; and to know that at 21.. I think is very special.
My parents were married at 19 and were together for almost 45+ years before my Dad died. I think it is so romantic if you find your other half that early in life.. and still stay together HAPPY.. awww makes me a bit jealous.
He told them after the fact? Funny, I thought I was the only person who had done that! I think you posted something once upon a time that suggested that you are from the U.P.? If so, 21 isn’t that old to be having babies! I grew up there and had lots of classmates whose moms were approximately 16 years older than we were….
Not only do they ACTUALLY have a bio clock, it is evident in the quality if their sperm. BOT – Back on Topic – clearly talking about family makes you seem stable and therefore good for thr Oscar brand. Forget about great acting and a good script. When you lobby based on your personal life goals that is all that should matter.
If he gets an Oscar for playing racist meathead warmonger redneck who got his comeuppance, I will never watch the Oscars again.
The guys I grew up with talked about marriage and family from a young age. To them it seemed glamorous and easily accomplished while still having a fabulous career. The young women I grew up with were far more cautious about rushing into that lifestyle as it is much more of a balancing act for women.
Bradley Cooper just gives off weird vibes. I can’t place my finger on it.
Totally agree…There is something so creepy about this man.
It’s like the acting career is just a cover for his true passion… life as a cackling maniac.
I agree. It seems he has a very dark side.
His hair. His hairline is also unnatural especially for his age. And oh, he has fratboy face.
AGREE!!
I’m not a Cooper fan at all…..I’m not sure he’s even a good partner at all, judging by what Jennifer Esposito has said about him. However, if I were Suki, I would certainly want to continue my London lifestyle with friends and parties at the age she is at. Having Bradley as a part-time boyfriend could work, too, as long as she could have plenty of time away from him. I doubt that she would be ready to commit to marriage just because he is reaching 40. At her age, I doubt she wants to be pregnant and isolated away with Bradley Cooper.
you’re not going to find a woman willing to marry you if you keep wearing that visor, honey.
So what you’re saying is that he should get back to beige booty shorts, amirite?
Damn you. Just when they become a fading, distant memory….
beige booty shorts AND a fanny pack. then we can talk finding him a wife.
some of the duggar ladies are prob available and willing to breed asap.
Visors are the WORST. They do almost give beige booty shorts, meaty thigh exposure and all, a run for their money, imho.
To be fair, the visor pairs perfectly with the shorts.
Tis true! Nothing completes a classic booty short ensemble quite like a good visor.
Visors do tend to eff up your hair. However I like them because they shield my eyes from the sun and don’t make my head as sweaty. I feel like I can’t see anything in sunglasses.
A man at 40 is ready to settle down while a 22 year old woman would like to enjoy life and build a career first?! I am shocked I tell you! Shocked! If you want a girl who has done all she wants to do and will settle down at 22 go marry a Duggar, B-Coop.
Marry a Duggar…..LOL!
Isn’t he gay?
Seriously, it pisses me off how these gay dudes in hollywood think they are fooling the pubic but are actually fooling themselves with the trophy gfs and baby mamas. It’s funny cos majority of the public know their game.
I will never understand the way Hollywood forces so many actors and actresses to hide that part of themselves. It’s one thing to just keep it to themselves, but it’s another to have to flaunt fake relationships and such. I don’t care what someone’s sexual preference is, but it irks me when they have to go to ridiculous lengths to do what they think the public wants and will accept.
Nobody ‘forces’ them too – if they choose to make a pact with the Devil for riches and fame that’s on them – ESPECIALLY these days where several high profile types have come out.
No sympathy.
It’s also sad that so many gossip sites label actors gay with zero shred of evidence, just passing it along or using a blind item, where most are made up of celebs anyway, and it goes on and on, just repeated, with probably only a tenth of the gay gossip being true.
The celluloid closet only exists for those who want to stay in it. Every week some actor is called gay it is tiresome. Rennet is not gay nor is Cooper, and if they are I don’t care. There sexual preference does shape my opinion of their talent or lack thereof.
No one knows for sure if he is gay.
I assume HE knows.
My comment was directed at the people who just automatically believe blind items and other crazy rumors that claim certain actors are gay. It annoys me when people talk about stuff like that as if it’s a fact when they don’t know the truth.
Lavender marriages? I’d never heard that term before. I don’t know if he’s gay or not. These just are rumors and blind items really.
Bradley loves his flight jacket and so do I!!!
FYI it’s not a cop out that he doesn’t wear prosthetics in the Elephant Man. The playwright specifically disallowed it. It’s part of the actors performance to contort the body to mimic the deformities. No other actor doing the play has ever worn prosthetics.
I always find the various viewpoints on BC amusing. I’m in the minority here. I think he is pretty darn attractive……..but yeah, the 22 year old girlfriend thing annoys me. ANd let’s face it — Jennifer Esposito really didn’t have kind things to say of him either.
Oh well….a girl can look and enjoy the view…..
Jennifer Esposito was talking about her time with him 6 or 7 years ago. He might not be that guy anymore.
Seriously? Shaking my head.
I completely think this story is true. I’ve heard or read Coop talk about his desire to be a dad now. Makes sense to me. He almost 40 and has achieved success in his career. But seriously, Suki Is only 22 and seems to be interested only in developing her career and having fun. Very normal in my opinion. Why the heck would dhe want to settle down now?
I can sort of buy this being true, if only because I know a similar group of men who profess a deep desire to marry and have children, and who only seem interested in dating women who are about 20 years old. Of course, my friends don’t look like Bradley, so they tend to be chronically single, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he has the same lack of perspective and runs into problems not when he pursues women but when he’s dated them for a year or so.
Ugh he is so unappealing. I do think he is a good actor but he’s so bird like in the face!
I’m a big fan of Cooper the actor. I don’t find him creepy at all, I think he’s very handsome — but more than being handsome, I think he’s an incredibly talented performer who manages to have chemistry with almost everyone he’s ever been in a cast with, most notably De Niro and JLaw.
I could believe BC wants to settle down but I don’t know that it’s with Suki…I just don’t get a “permanent” vibe from their pics together. Whether it’ll be her that breaks it off or him, I think that we’ll see a headline soon that says they’re over.
Also, consider the source. I disbelieve 98.5% of everything Star prints.
duh? This is a no brainier. He’s thinking w another brain.
I don’t understand how anyone who has actually watched an interview with this man could think that he was creepy or serial killer like. He’s very smart and charming.
Totally agree đŸ™‚
He just gets ickier and creepier by the year to me. WHAT IS IT about him? Run Suki, run! #beforethisturnsintoRosemary’sBaby
Ha! I agree. I believe what Jennifer E. said about him. I want to know why Zoe broke up with him though. I think some sh** went down for sure. They don’t even pretend to be friends. I never pictured him being down with the swirl and I seriously doubt he was too keen on having biracial babies.
I’d much rather talk about the fact that Particia Clarkson looks like she’s ceased to age. Look at that skin! She has to be sacrificing virgins.
