Bradley Cooper = Hollywood’s Man to the Rescue! | The Graham Norton Show – BBC

Yes, she was doing a play in the West Village of Manhattan, and I went to see the first preview, which is sacrilege. And it was a one woman show and she came out and the key light was on her and she looked just like Felicia, who’s Lenny, Lenny’s wife,

When I was doing all the research. So I went to meet her backstage and she was prone. It was a small theatre. There wasn’t even a room was just a curtain. And then she was prone because one of the sets had hit her in the top of the head halfway through the play.

Oh my God. And it was crazy. And then I went back and I was like, “Are you okay?” And she was not okay at all. And so we went to the emergency room and we were there, and that was our introduction to each other. Do you remember this, Carey? I do.

It was the first preview of and it’s a 90 minute monologue and and about yeah, maybe half an hour before the end, I got hit on the head quite badly. But I carried on because no one saw it. It was in a blackout. So I was like, well, carry on.

And then it finished and I got offstage and I just… I just burst. I just couldn’t stop crying. And I was and I thought I was really a goner, you know, you get it in your head with a head injury you’re like ‘oh that it.’

And and then I was sobbing on the floor and the director was trying to calm me down. And then someone came and said “Sorry, so sorry, Bradley Cooper’s just…” And I didn’t even I just went So he came in and looked me in the eye, and was like, “You’re not alright.”

Yeah. And he was like, get in the car. I went to the emergency room and the nurse was delighted. I was going to say, That’s a good night in A&E, isn’t it? Yeah. She gets hit in the head halfway through and keeps going. Yeah, Yeah. You thought she’s the actor for me! Yeah.

Got me a job. So. Yeah. Did you bring Brooke Shields to the hospital as well? I did, Yeah. Yeah. Don’t stay near me. Yeah, Like, literally, just, like, randomly. We’re neighbors in New York. And then I was. It was lunch time, and this is crazy. And I remember I was like,

I just put, like, sausages in the grill, and they’re like, my friend came in. He’s like, “They’re calling for you. Brooke Shields is across at a restaurant across the way, and she just had a fall.” Yeah. And I was like, okay. And I just went over and there were fire trucks and everything.

And luckily, because I live across the street from the police precinct, they recognised me and I was able to go in. And then we went into the ambulance and then we’re trying to figure out the hospital to get to and it was crazy. Why did they call you, though? Let’s get an actor.

Bring him in. We needed an actor. When she came to, she was like, “I must be dying, because I’m looking into Bradley Cooper’s eyes.” We were in the ambulance when she came to and it was like, “What the –” Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah.

  7. Bradley is playing a distorted version of Bernstein, whose reputation is based on a false narrative from sacred cow coverage in the press. I posted a new video on my YouTube channel titled THE BERNSTEIN EFFECT. I studied with one of his friends, Ivan Davis, who also performed with him. Arts education was based on his teachings which are designed to make the conductors, pianists and composers stupid. This ruined classical music as an art form and a business. Most of classical recordings are vanity records, because of him. Many of the orchestras have a financial foundation based on criminal activity. They commit wire fraud by soliciting donations with false information. There's a massive amount of jealousy based mental illness, because of Bernstein's assault on arts education. I provide many examples of irrefutable evidence on this subject.
