Bradley Cooper Goes Nearly Nude for Artsy 'W' Magazine Shoot

Bradley Cooper holds a pair of pants in front of his nearly nude body while posing for this artsy photo in W Magazine‘s February 2015 issue.

The issue highlights the best performances of the year and the 40-year-old actor was honored for his work in American Sniper.

“I had advantages in making a film about the Iraq war. On USO tours, I went to bases in the middle of nowhere in enemy territory. I was with the soldiers in their barracks, and I really got a sense of it,” Bradley said about making the movie. “And, oddly, I had experience from having starred in The A Team. I learned how to shoot guns for that film. After making it, an M4 felt as comfortable to me as a tennis racket.”
