Danny McBride promised an ultra-famous guest star for Righteous Gemstones Episode 4.1, the Civil War prequel, but kept him a super secret, so his appearance would be a shocking reveal. I watched the entire episode, wondering who the ultra-famous guest star was.
Turns out that it was....BRADLEY COOPER!!!!!
Who the heck is that?
It's such a generic name, it could belong to anyone.
The main Bradley Cooper has 75 acting credits on the IMDB. I've seen six:
Wet Hot American Summer (2001), watched to review. Bradley plays Ben, a gay guy at the summer camp who gets a boyfriend. His peers are horrified: "Ben is a fag!" But they give him a wedding present anyway.
Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Avengers: Infinity Game, and Avengers: Endgame, where he voices the the sentient raccoon character.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves, where he plays a loveable rogue.
No wonder I didn't recognize him, or his name.
You can't really blame me. Who'd want to see Alias (2001-06), about a lady spy with a "you're arrogant!" bickering partner?
Or Bending All the Rules (2002), about a woman juggling two boyfriends, David Gail and Bradley? Even though he shows us his backside.
Or The A-Team (2010), a remake of a 1980s tv show that I never saw. Even though it shows us Bradley's impressive physique.
Or Wedding Crashers, He's Just Not Into You, The Hangover, or The Hangover II? They sound like nontstop heteronormative sleaze fests.
I might have gone to see Valentine's Day (2010), if I knew there was a gay plotline in the ensemble: Holden (Bradley) dumps his boyfriend, pro football player Sean (Eric Dane) because he's closeted, but after his career is over, the guy comes out, so Holden takes him back.
More after the break, including some c*ocks
