The 47-year-old actor spoke about his addiction on Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes' Smartless podcast, explaining that his demotion to guest star on the third season of Alias contributed to him developing a "drug and alcohol problem."
"I was so lost and addicted to cocaine" Bradley Cooper admitted
"I was so lost and addicted to cocaine" Bradley Cooper admitted about that difficult time. I also cut my Achilles tendon right after I got fired - quitting the show," he explained, adding that he had terrible self-esteem.
It should be noted that Bradley Cooper was originally a member of the main cast alongside star Jennifer Garner in the first two seasons of Alias from 2001 to 2003. However, his character was then reduced and he became a guest star, only appearing in two additional episodes.
Discussing on the podcast yesterday, Bradley Cooper noted that he was lucky that his battle with drug addiction occurred when he was relatively young. "I had the advantage that it happened when I was 29 years old. I thought I had it made when I got an ad for Wendy's. I thought I had it made. But moving to Los Angeles for the series, I didn't feel that way. I couldn't get into any clubs, no girls wanted to look at me. I was depressed."
But everything changed when he landed a role in Wedding Crashers and then joined The Hangover, which helped reinvigorate his career. "I was 36 years old when I did The Hangover, so I got through those things before my fame skyrocketed," he explained.
