38-year-old Bradley Cooper is People‘s Sexiest Man Alive, and is enjoying both critical and box office success in The Silver Linings Playbook, but he’s been chasing his dreams for a long time.
When he was 24-years-old Bradley worked as a doorman at the Morgan Hotel while getting his MFA from NYU’s drama school. He would hold the door people like Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s now one of his buddies. He also got the chance to ask Sean Penn a question on a 1999 episode of Inside The Actor’s Studio.
