Bradley Cooper Sets the Record Straight on Jennifer Aniston
In the June/July issue of Details, Bradley Cooper sets the record straight on Jennifer Aniston -- but refuses to dish on girlfriend Renee Zellweger.
Despite going on a dinner date with Aniston, 41, in NYC last year while she filmed her box office dud The Bounty Hunter, Cooper, 34, downplays their relationship.
"I'm reading about me taking Jennifer Aniston to my Bel Air mansion and having a candlelit dinner, and I was like, 'That's crazy. Never happened,'" he tells the magazine.

Describing Aniston as a pal, he says he even joked to her about various tabloid reports: "Hey, we should hang out — the other dates that we never had went so well."
He clams up when the topic turns to Zellweger, 41, with whom he has been dating since 2009. (The two have gotten so close that she has even met his mother!)
"I just can't," he says when asked about his girlfriend.

He is equally mum about his four-month marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito. "It was an experience," he simply says.
Cooper may get hearts racing this summer with his taut and toned bod in The A-Team (out June 11), but he tells Details: "I never lived the life of 'Oh, you're so good-looking.' People thought I was a girl when I was little, because I looked like a girl — maybe because my mother would keep my hair really long in a bowl cut. I was in a coffee shop once and the waitress was like, 'What do you want, Miss?' I was 10 or 11 — the worst age to have that happen. I had a jean jacket on and a Metallica pin. I thought I was really cool."

As for his bulging biceps and concrete pecs in The A-Team, "I had to literally transform my body," he says.
In addition to cutting out sugar, salt, and flour, he worked out two hours-a-day with a trainer.
"As the movie progressed, I got in increasingly better shape," he tells Details. "There's this one fight scene with Liam Neeson toward the end, where it's, like, the apex of the work ... I swear to God, it looked like my head was digitally superimposed onto someone else's body. I was like, 'This cannot be me—that's the way I look?' ... 'Cause as a kid I only fantasized about looking that way. Remember Soloflex commercials? That was huge when I was a kid. It was like, 'I wanna be the Soloflex guy. Mom, can we get the Soloflex?'"
Tell Us What You Think
143hasbeen i think u need to get a life and stop sitting on the computer ur whole effin life!!! oh and this is coming from a fifteen yr old girl who is full american!!!! Go JA i loe her and she did a really good job in the bounty hunter i watched it over five times!!!
I honestly have no clue why Jennifer Aniston is still around getting movie roles, I mean I guess she was in Friends... But didn't that show end 6 years ago? Bradley Cooper is incredibly good-looking though.
I can't figure out why Jenn is still being offered high profile roles. I have tried to keep an open mind but at best I am only mildly impressed. There are so many other actresses who are better like Zooey Deschenel, Emily Blunt, and Anne Hathaway who keeps getting better and better. There are women relatively her same age that can act circles around her like Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Sandra Bullock. Jenn is set to star in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie, but I would much rather see another Drew Barrymore pairing since Drew makes each role her own. That is what producers need to look at when casting a movie.
Annmarie AKA hasbeen LOL!! You're retarded because they're all pretty much the same age so if Jen's old then so is Renee, Bradley, Bradd & Anholina. Think about it.

WHAT IS THE DEAL? DOES YOUR MAGAZINE AND THE STAR GET A CUT FOR PIMPING FOR JENNIFER ANISTON. THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO OFFER LATELY-THAT AND THAT COW KATE GOSSELIN. HAVE A CLUE!
Bradley Cooper is dreamy! Hey Hasbeen, nice to see that you spread your lunacy on all the Aniston message boards. How fun!
to "hasbeen" i bet someone like you who has sooooo much time to hate and research every aspect of jens life doesn't even has to job! stop living off government welfare, get your butt out there and get a job or just get a life, loser
HasBeen... : wow now you're a racist, but what can we expect from someone who calls a 41 year-old "granny" (please remember that when you're her age, like in 25 yrs or so I guess, and see if you still mean it)... BTW, dont worry honey, I dont live in the US (you know, with the web not need to live in the same country to "talk"), so no need to call INS. Anyway, when you can speak 2 foreign languages as I can, you will be able to say something about my understanding and expression. So, now you were talking about "profit margin" ? All I saw is you saying that the movie had made a certain gross which meant it was good. That's why I came up with Transformers AS AN EXAMPLE, which was the best one to me, since it had been a huge success but not really the best movie ever, nor one of them. And you say I dont understand English... Besides, its quite interesting that you call BC and Shia LaBeouf A-listers while they basically always have the same parts (comedies or rocomedies for the first one, action for the second one) and you certainly are one of those who criticize JA for doing the same (BTW, do you know The Good Girl and Derailed ?)not to mention Shia's briliiant debuts in "Even Stevens" lol. And yeah, BC is a "young star"... May I remind you that he is only 6 yrs younger than JA ? And did I once say that she is A-list ? As much as I like her and think she s a quite good actress, I have the decency to have a certain amount of objectivity.

Second, once again you select what best suits you : you still didnt answer (or mentionned) the Transformers part... FYI, the first one made over 700 M and the second one made over 800 M. Please tell me, does that make them masterpieces and MF one of the best actresses ? I guess not. So, I had perfectly understood that you gave numbers (and BTW I m not an English-speaker but I think I understand the language quite well) but you see, it s not really relevant or objective... ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stop making excuses for your semiliteracy. Huvane notoriously hires posters from companies that pay only pennies per post, so you immigrants always end up working for the Hag. I never once said that if a film makes money it is a "masterpiece" (Find one sentence where I wrote anything even remotely close to that, you dolt). YOU came up with that disjointed analysis. In the future, please consult your Idiocy-to-English dictionary before posting. I said that by virtue of his film's earnings and profit margin, Cooper is far more of an A-Lister than Granny. When a film can be made on a relatively low budget ($35 mil) and, go on to make half a BILLION DOLLARS, that star shoots to the TOP of the desirability ladder. As difficult as it may be for a lamebrain like you to understand -- STUDIOS LIKE TO MAKE HUGE PROFITS. MANISTON'S FILMS DO NOT MAKE HUGE PROFITS UNLESS HER CO-STAR IS A MEGASTAR LIKE CARREY, OR A DOG WHO IS PRETTIER THAN HER. If she is the lead, her films either make modest profits or LOSE MONEY. So by what bastardization of the English language is she A-List? I don't know why you keep bringing up "Transformers," but it is not comparable to Hangover because it had a HUGE budget, so while it made almost a billion, it had a smaller profit margin than Hangover. Both films made money and no, neither was a cinematic "masterpiece" (I hate it when boatpeople like you destroy my beloved language) Also, Transformers was NOT Fox's film, it was Shia's film and YES he is decidedly A-List. I have no clue what point you were trying to make, since I'm not fluent in "gibberish," but the bottom line is that Cooper is a young star on the rise, and Grannyiston is an old woman trying to stay relevant by taking off her clothes. Now run and find your green card before I call INS.
Bradley Cooper is so gorgeous. Sigh... As for the criticism of Renee Z., she's a pretty lady who unfortunately doesn't photograph well. She seems like a humble, down to earth person like Bradley. Hope these two are in it for the long haul.
so jen didn't sleep with bradley like how the haters said she did, she i guess it proves she is NOT a sk@nk! btw i can't believe he's dating renee! i mean don't get me wrong i love her movies but jen is ten times prettier than her!
@karen, do you have a life? looks like you are very lonely....poor thing

I love it. Now she understand how annoying it is to talk about someone years after and her idot fans should understand it but I doubt it they are stupid so...
Jennifer Aniston is C list minues her divorce simpathy all friends cast is c list with money so is she. Bradly is at least gorgeous. She is not gorgeous just trying much with all the money she has to help.
What comes around goes around... She still talks about a six years ago divorce by her cleansing and etc..her stupid bitter hens are still bashing Angie and Brad from that divorce because of it no need to hate when Bradly talks about never dating her Again don't hate on hags. No one is more user than Aniston is. She is the queen and king of creepy users.
I can do this all night, the batteris on my vibrator just died.
All the Brangeloonies trying to bring down Jen.
I really hope Jen reads these posts so she knows how much I worship her.
