Bradley Cooper recently opened up on a big revelation wherein he honestly talked his mind in the open!! We all know of Leonardo DiCaprio going to star in the film Nightmare Alley. However, DiCaprio was replaced and Cooper took to talk about the reason behind replacing him.
A report on insider.com talked about insecurity and ego being the reason behind this decision of his. We take reference from that story for our write up here.
“‘Nightmare Alley’ was an interesting example of how insecure I am,” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh, I guess I still am the guy that wants to be in the group.’ Because I had no intention of acting in anything other than what I’ve been writing.
“Leonardo DiCaprio fell out, and Guillermo del Toro came to me. I still remember thinking, ‘Oh, wow, the guys that don’t hire me, they want to hire me?’ And then it was like, ‘Of course, I have to do it just because I’ve never been allowed into that group.’ It was insecurity and ego,” he said.
“Thankfully, it wound up being an incredible experience,” Cooper added. “And that was very interesting to me to play a character, Stanton Carlisle, who has clearly been traumatized as a kid, has no parental foundation, has no foundation for love, intimacy, real connection, and he just is surviving off of a gratification and a desperate need to find out who he is.”
Well, that’s one big revelation!!
