Bradley Cooper is often mistaken for his The Hangover co-star Zach Galifianakis now he has a full beard.
The actor is growing bushy facial hair for his role as a washed-up celebrity in the A Star is Born remake, which he is also directing, and he admits the hirsute look allows him to wander around largely unnoticed.
“Some people thought I was Zach Galifianakis for a little bit,” he told U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. “(They’d be like), ‘Alan, Hangover...’ and I was like, ‘Close, close. Almost!’”
The actor has discovered he can grow a beard very quickly, which led to problems when he was trying to find the right look for his new film: “We did a camera test to test out the looks... and I was like, ‘We’ve gotta go less Founding Fathers-esque’... My beard was huge.”
