Bradley Cooper Says People Would Laugh at His Dreams

Bradley Cooper Says People Would Laugh at His Dreams

Bradley Cooper poses for the cover of Details magazine’s 15th anniversary issue for October 2015, on newsstands September 22.

Here is what the 40-year-old Burnt actor had to share with the mag:

On not charting courses: “I’ve never been a guy who has a five-year plan or even a two-year plan. It’s not motivating for me to have a map. I have dreams, things you’d laugh at if I told you, but you would have laughed at my dreams in high school, and now they’re being fulfilled.”

On wanting to direct: “I’m 40 years old. Clint Eastwood directed Play Misty for Me at 40. At some point, I gotta sh-t or get off the pot. Because it’s fleeting, being in a place where you can create content on this level. While I’m here, I’m going to take advantage.”

On his new movie Burnt: “I worked for most of my life as a cook. When I was 15, I was a busboy at a Greek restaurant and then I worked as a prep cook through college. My mother’s side is Italian, so I grew up cooking all the time with my grandmother.

Also pictured inside: Bradley and his girlfriend Irina Shayk stepping out separately on Tuesday (September 15) in New York City.
