The Sci-fi thriller Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper as a writer who takes a pill to maximize his brain power has topped the North American film chart. The newly film Limitless is screened on March 18 and now let’s have a discovery about the leading star Bradley Cooper’s wonderful Hollywood journey.
由布萊德利·庫珀主演的科幻驚悚片《永無止境》在本月18日上映。該片講述了一個靠神奇藥物來提高大腦能力的作家的故事，一舉奪得了北美票房冠軍。現在就讓我們探索一下庫珀的好萊塢星光之路吧。
Cooper was born in Philadelphia and graduated from the university with a BA degree in English in 1997. Besides, he has also studied French and lived in France for 6 months. Without the intention to be a linguist, instead, he entered Hollywood step by step.
布萊德利·庫珀出生在費城，1997年從大學畢業獲得了英語學士。同時，他也學習了法語，并在法國呆過6個月。但是無意成為語言學家的庫珀，最終一步步，步入星光閃耀的好萊塢。
Cooper began his professional acting career on the television series Sex and the City in 1998 and made his film debut in Wet Hot American Summer in 2001.Later he joined Julia Roberts to star in Three Days of Rain on Broadway but this didn’t win him too much appreciation..
庫珀的職業生涯開端應該從1998年的《欲望都市》系列開始，而他的電影處女秀則是2001年的影片《哈啦夏令營》。2006年他登上百老匯舞臺主演了舞臺劇《雨落三天》，同臺的還有茱莉亞·羅伯茲,遺憾的是本劇并未能取得預期反響。
But the turning point of his career came in 2009 after his role in the comedy Hangover. The film with little costs, won fully at the box office that year. And Cooper finally reached a milestone in his acting journey. But much to our surprise, Cooper expressed that he preferred to cast a role in action films rather than be adored as a comedian. Then, maybe for his manifestation, he starred in a series of action films like The A-Team and The Dark Fields later on.
2009年，布萊德利·庫珀的代表作《宿醉》上映，沒想到這一部成本極低的小電影居然能成為美國當年的票房巨頭和黑馬。《宿醉》也一舉帶動布萊德利·庫珀成為票房喜劇明星，不過庫珀可不太領情，直言喜劇不是自己的菜，而動作片才是自己的最愛。可能世界真的有感于這番“真情告白”， 庫珀接下來出演了一系列動作片如《天龍特攻隊》和《黑暗領域》。
Judging from his appearance, Cooper is the style for Hollywood. With a height of 185 cm and exquisite looking, he is no doubt a handsome guy with manhood. But you have to admit that most Hollywood journey begins with a queer beginning step. Cooper said it was more than an irony that he gained reputation as a comedian for he is not funny at all. But, anyway, we seem to love his comedies, actions, thrillers all the same. So just enjoy the film and enjoy his wonderful performance.
單看外表，布萊德利·庫珀是好萊塢會喜歡的那種人，“高大英俊”四字簡直為他量身打造：1米85的挺拔個頭，盡情揮灑的男性魅力，但是好萊塢的生涯，往往是從意外的位置起步。但庫珀對自己是靠喜劇成名這點，依舊感到不可思議。“我一點都不滑稽，”他說道，“這太諷刺了。”但是不管怎么說，觀眾不也是對他的喜劇片，動作片或者是今年的驚悚片也都照單全收嗎？所以還是讓我們盡情欣賞他的表演吧！
