Bradley Cooper, the sexy hunk from Sex
and the City and more recently Nip/Tuck, is readying for
his sophomore attempt at playing gay.
According to The Hollywood Reporter,
New Line Cinema has cast Cooper as a gay man in the upcoming feature
film Valentine's Day.
The romantic comedy pairs five couples
as they celebrate Valentine's Day in Los Angeles. Cooper will play a
gay man in love with a closeted football player.
Cooper, who recently called gay rumors
about himself “awesome,” played a gay camp counselor in the 2001
cult classic Wet Hot American Summer.
“Victor
Garber is one of my best friends, and I'll never forget when we went
to some event together and people thought we were dating. It was all
over the Internet. It was the first time I read a rumor like that
about me, and I just thought it was fantastic,” Cooper told gay
monthly Advocate.
“But if you believe those rumors, every single male in Hollywood is
gay.”
Also
set to appear in the film are Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica
Alba, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine and Ashton Kutcher.
