FW Magazine, Issue 34

Due in large part to his portrayal of 'Will' on the Golden-Globe-nominated show Alias, this past year Bradley Cooper has managed to emerge as one of televisions biggest and brightest stars. Graduating with his Masters of Fine Arts in drama, Cooper is no stranger to the stage and screen. He's appeared in such TV shows as Sex and the City, The Beat and Lonely Planet, and in the films Wet Hot American Summer, Carnival Knowledge and Changing Lanes.

On his feelings about Will: "The thing about Will that I really look up to is that he's so rigorous in his pursuit of what he believes to be right or wrong. I hope that I would be able to withstand the torture that he went through...I don't think I would. I think after the first tooth was pulled, that would have been it for me. I would have told them anything they wanted to know. He's so honourableto his beliefs and that is something I hope that I can achieve in my life."

On his physical training for the role: "I do a lot of Tae Bo (laughs). My girlfriend bought the tapes and now I'm obsessed with them."

On keeping a level head in Hollywood: "You have to be grounded to deal with celebrity. For one thing,...you can find yourself caught up in the physicality of it all - things that are not really important. You can lose perspective really fast. So I'd say having a strong family, which I do, that God. My girlfriend is wonderful and we live together, which is a huge grounding point. Having a faith. Having a community of friends."
