Bradley Cooper takes subway to work in New York

Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper is shunning luxury limousines during his stint on stage in New York and taking the subway to work instead.

The Hangover star is currently appearing in The Elephant Man on Broadway, and he has been spotted joining other commuters on the underground system and taking a train to the Booth Theatre in Manhattan.

When asked about his decision to use public transport, Cooper tells the Nightline TV show, "It doesn't feel crazy. I always take the subway here (in New York). I guess given the fact that I'm someone who gets photographed, it's a crazy notion. But there's millions of people who do it every day... I have a lot of manoeuvres, holding onto the railings and you can sense somebody (trying to take pictures). It's a constant thing to try and blend in."
