What happens on a subatomic level when one is crowned People's sexiest man in the universe? How did homeboy Bradley Cooper feel when he found out he had been thus anointed? What did he say?
"My mother is going to be so happy," Cooper, 36, said, according to People. The mag says it chose the Hangover star not for looks alone, but also because he's smart (he conquered Germantown Academy, then Georgetown University), he's an amateur chef who can throw down a mean homemade pasta dish, he's fluent in French, and he rides motorcycles. "I think it's really cool that a guy who doesn't look like a model can have this," Cooper tells People. "I think I'm a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying." Cooper, who is single, is currently in Philly shooting The Silver Linings Playbook.
