Bradley Cooper has said he is ready to go full speed ahead if he is asked to star in this year’s most controversial sports star’s biopic.
The Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook star said is fascinated by the Lance Armstrong’s story and expressed how he’d love to play the role of the cyclist in a film.
“I would be interested in that,” Cooper told the BBC.
Former Olympic cyclist turned disgraced athlete Lance Armstrong admitted to chat host Oprah he used banned drugs and blood doping in order to win his seven Tour de France titles.
Bradley Cooper has expressed his interest to play Armstrong in the upcoming biopic.
Paramount Pictures and JJ Abrams’ production company Bad Robot are in the planning stages for the biopic about his story, which will be based on New York Times reporter Juliet Macur’s upcoming book Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong.
Other actors for the protagonist’s role could include Matt Damon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Fassbender or Christian Bale.
We’re imagining Cooper with less hair though and it has us convinced he could be the key guy…
