Bradley Cooper got candid about his struggles with addiction. The 47-year-old actor appeared on the latest episode of the SmartLess podcast co-hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, where he opened up about a moment early in his career when he completely hit rock bottom.
According to Bradley, it came after he was let go from the action-thriller series Alias in the early 2000s during his battle with substance abuse: It also did not help that The Silver Linings Playbook star had “zero self-esteem” at the time, only adding to his issues with addiction in the beginning of his career.

To which Bradley replied: Ultimately, he credited Will – who has been open about suffering from alcoholism – for having a conversation with him about his addiction in July 2004 that set him on a “path of deciding to change my life.” Bradley remembered he was living next to the 52-year-old comedian and had gone out to dinner with him and some friends during a time where he often tried to mimic the “mean” type of humor other comedians portrayed at the time.
