FEBRUARY 22, 2019 – Cooper gives a tour de force performance, depicting the aging legend’s mental health and substance abuse struggles so flawlessly, he earned himself a Best Actor nomination at the 91st Academy Awards. However, Cooper didn’t have to rely on method acting to get into character —”The stories that exist in this story, it comes from a very deep personal place and that’s the only way that I know how to communicate with many people,” the 44-year-old recently confessed to The New York Times during an interview about the film, which he also directed. Over the years Cooper has been very candid about his experiences with addiction, detailing what his life as an addict was like, what inspired him to get help and how his life transformed as a result of putting down the bottle for good — helping so many others struggling with similar addiction issues in the process.
