A young Bradley Cooper is super-eager on Inside the Actors Studio with Sean Penn.

Ah, before they were famous… How we can laugh at the silly hair and out-of-fashion clothes, because once stars make it big, they are styled within an inch of their lives. It’s these little ‘before-they-were-famous’ moments that make it all worthwhile.
Bradley Cooper is a young, earnest, would-be actor who gets to ask Sean Penn a question on Inside the Actors Studio. Cooper, 24-year-old in the video (38 nowadays), has surfer blonde hair and a super cool baggy blue shirt, and is just the teeniest bit intense in what he probably thought was his ‘starring role’ at the time.
However, Cooper has come a long way since this video from 1999, and is up for Best Actor Oscar in Silver Linings Playbook next Sunday. We guess he must have actually learned something from Sean Penn who won Best Leading Actor awards for Milk in 2008 and Mystic River in 2003, even if it was after Cooper met him.
Sure it gave us a bit of a laugh anyway.
