Just wondering if this guy could have actually kept his career without the
Mega armani frontal zone 3000 grafts??

The only other guy to do it may have been ed harris

As a character actor, not action hero

Bradley Cooper was really in the spotlight concerning the future of his hair at one point. I think he's on propecia now? Well I heard he was, don't know if he still is. Im also pretty sure his acting career would've taken a turn for the worst if he would've let his hair go.

He had a major hair transplant front zone to a Norwood 1

He just had a kid

I guess his sides are OK to use fint to keep the rest of his hair

For a guy his age though, Cooper does have good density though. He probably backs it up with medication.

Sorry @HankPentagon I completely mis-read the point of this.

Cooper would not survive as a baldite, he's a good actor don't get me wrong, he was particularly good in Silver Linings Playbook, I also liked him in American Hustle, and American Sniper was a shitty film but he was pretty good in it.

With temple recession and thinning he wouldn't be a success in any of these films. It would be all the audience could think about. Especially Silver Linings Playbook, in which he played a mentally troubled 30ish guy, dating an early 20's Jennifer Lawrence.

At the premier in Cannes people would just be shouting "Pedo!" if he was bald.

i watched it a while ago, dont remember too much, seemed like a decent enough action flick. too much bullshit american patriotism or something?

They actually went fairly low-key on the patriot side of things, at least from what I had expected. It wasn't a un-watchably bad film or anything, Eastwood always is quite sentimental with his works and I respect him as an artist, but I knew about Chris Kyle long before this and all his bullshit. I didn't like the golden child way they portrayed him, and glossed over the awful atrocities that the American military and economic warfare they took part in.

Even if we take away the background of it, there wasn't much separating it from a low budget biopic of Chris Kyle. It was average at best, and nobody will remember it (like yourself).

I don't think he's a bad director, but he wouldn't be one without his acting career. He spares no time for cinematography, which I know frustrates others he works with who have to live off that reputation of being involved in rush-shot films.

Imagine this on your resume:

Right. As a lead actor they'd make him wear hair

Ditto Ben affleck, he could not make it in Hollywood bald

Incidentally, Sniper was panned by critics

The movie however did not heroize the protagonist

I'll agree that they didn't "heroize" him but intentionally left out a lot of his faults.

Overall I'd say it was a fairly balanced film with relation to Kyle.

Yeah.

It was mostly a vehicle for cooper playing a very bland guy who had one talent

Eastwood failed to develop any other worthy themes but for children being the victims of war

I would like to see if cooper could handle a movie more like gump or Benjamin buttons

A period piece with an unusual lead

What would of been heath ledger's fate had he still been alive?

Amazing actor, would of been one of the goats. However balding can take a drastic toll on that alone
Yeah

He would be in the category of can play any character

Back in my day it was Dustin hoffman

Richard Jenkins gets a lot of movies

Also the guy who does farmers insurance

There's also midget actors who are successful, inevitably we need a token actor to play the same roles over and over.

Cooper in my opinion is a pretty good looking guy, but not quite Chad tier. His flowing styled hair adds a lot to that attraction, and a fairly decent looking bald guy is just plain confusing for mainstream audiences to accept.

On the topic though, Stanley Tucci is one of my favourite actors, Malkovich is pretty great too, Ben Kingsley, Mark Strong, Ed Harris, there's a lot of people who manage to overcome the crippling physical deformity with extreme talent.

I really think that bald guys need to be "ruggedly handsome" in Hollywood, not beautiful. The only sustainable long film career I can think of with great facial aesthetics was Yul Brynner, but even then he still had a tough vibe for him.

Willis, Statham, etc. not bad looking guys or anything but in those cases baldness actually worked in their favour, they wouldn't normally be considered good looking enough to stand out as a leading man in films.

Cooper is one of those guys that girls are so hot for, all girls I speak to find him really hot, I don't see it myself. He's good looking but I don't see anything special.

But Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast...Don Logan is a great character. What a performance.

Great every day look, easy to maintain with the right genetic blue print. Thick, tight and solid.
