Bradley Cooper thinks Ryan Gosling is rightful Sexiest Man Alive
Bradley Cooper feels uncomfortable since People magazine editors named him Sexiest Man Alive - because he's convinced his pal Ryan Gosling actually deserves the title.
The Hangover hunk has claimed the 2011 crown but admits Gosling is a more deserving winner as the Canadian actor always looks groomed.
He tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "It's so awful that I'm
admitting this but the hell with it - there was such a backlash to
when they announced it. Ryan Gosling, who I love and I just did a
movie with him, he's the greatest, but we were both in Paris this
last week and a friend of mine showed me photographs (of us) from
the paparazzi. When I say friend I mean me alone in my room looking
at the computer!
"There's him walking around and he literally looks like he's in a
photoshoot, like he just came off the runway. And there's ones of
me and I literally look like the neighbor who never really comes
out of his house. And when he does you're like, 'Maybe he should
just stay in! We don't know what he does in there!' So it's been
interesting."
Cooper admits he's still coming to terms with all the adulation,
adding, "It's the worst! It's just so awful. I'm finally at an age,
I'm 36 years old, where I really don't care about anything like
that anymore, which is a wonderful thing. Then this (People
magazine title) happened and I started to realize how not sexy I
am. I have a lot of moments where I'll be walking out, I open up
the door and think, 'I could do that a lot sexier. That was not
very sexy at all!'"
