Bradley Cooper’s Scruffy New Look Shocks Fans in Surprise TV Appearance

BBG News

Bradley Cooper is receiving acclaim for his captivating portrayal of Elijah Gemstone, a former outlaw during the Civil War era who becomes a preacher, in the HBO series titled “The Righteous Gemstones.

Following his unexpected cameo during the last season of The Righteous Gemstones, an influx of posts flooded social media, expressing enthusiasm over the film actor’s unkempt appearance that was around 50 years old.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must confess that Bradley Cooper in “Righteous Gemstones” has caught my attention in a way I hadn’t expected before.

Another wrote: ‘Not gonna lie, I didn’t hate how Bradley Cooper looked on Gemstones last night.’

A third person found it surprising since Bradley Cooper appears quite ordinary, but he’s undeniably very attractive all the same.

Another stated they ‘knew it was him’ while watching, but her husband wouldn’t ‘believe’ her. 

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can relate! Just like many of us, I too found myself torn between opinions when trying to decipher if that was indeed Cooper appearing in the cameo. I oscillated back and forth, engaged in an internal debate, questioning my own observations.

In the show, Cooper dons a thick, shaggy beard as he portrays a bandit during the American Civil War, specifically in 1862 Virginia.

Danny McBride, the creator of “The Righteous Gemstones”, expressed surprise when they managed to secure Maestro as a cast member.

I reached out to him with the script, and he responded promptly, expressing his enthusiasm for the content and gratitude for being considered.

The producer emphasized that it had never crossed his mind they could secure an actor with such stature to don a historical-era woollen outfit and endure sweltering 90-degree heat for ten consecutive days.

‘It takes a very dedicated person to commit to that,’ he said of Cooper. 

Throughout his professional journey, the single parent has earned a total of 12 Oscar nominations, with three being individual recognitions. Last year, he was nominated again for Maestro, and received additional nods for his contributions to 2018’s A Star Is Born.

Additionally, he received nominations for the categories of Best Supporting Actor (for the film American Hustle in 2013) and Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical (for the movie Silver Linings Playbook in 2012).

In addition to his highly praised acting roles, Cooper has also shone in films such as Silver Linings Playbook (released in 2012), American Hustle (from 2013), American Sniper (2014), and Nightmare Alley (which came out in 2021).

He’s also earned six nods at the Golden Globe Awards and a Tony nomination. 

Meanwhile, Cooper’s wins include a British Academy Film Awards and three Grammy Awards. 

The star is among the most-nominated people without a win at the Academy Awards. 

As a die-hard admirer, when discussing his role in co-writing, acting, and directing the masterpiece, Maestro, he shared with The Hollywood Reporter that each part seemed like an integrated whole to him, almost as if they were all facets of a single passion burning within.

He clarified that he is someone who enjoys creating plans and executing them, which makes him well-suited to the role of a producer. He finds it challenging but immensely satisfying to see an idea transform into a completed movie.

Apart from his bustling profession, Cooper – currently dating Gigi Hadid – also shares a 7-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, with his former partner, Irina Shayk.
