He is known as one of the biggest Hollywood actors to grace our screens, but once upon a time, Bradley Cooper was an aspiring journalist.
Before he found fame as an award-winning actor, he tried out his hand as a journalist. At the ripe old age of 18, the dad-of-one took part in a journalism internship for the Philadelphia Daily News.
The hunk regularly pitched and wrote articles for the publication, but the Limitless star wanted to prove himself as a bold new reporter on the block for his first piece. For his debut article, the doting dad decided to pitch a personal piece, using his sex life as the inspiration.

Specifically, the America Sniper actor went into quite some detail about one wild night in the sheets he had with his own best friend. It’s fair to say mixing romance with friendship can always be a messy business, with plenty of potential for hurt feelings.

Cooper, however, seemed to have been the exception as he recalled his racy night with his best friend Deborah Landes. Years later, a journalist at the Philadelphia Enquirer shared the actor’s article on the social media platform X – formerly known as Twitter.
The article begins: “Can best friends who are of the opposite sex hook up with each other without destroying their friendship? In my case, yes… so far.” The actor claimed that the night of passion felt right and only strengthened their connection at the time.
He continues: “We’ve all been there in that moment when, all of a sudden, the right person in front of you becomes attractive. It happens in an instant, almost. You’ve gotten morning coffee with this someone for years.

“He or she is the person you call for advice after a bad date. Hell, they’re the ones who laugh as you take tequila shots and inevitably end up sending you home.
“We really don’t know how to be anything other than best friends. I realise this when people ask me if we are going out. It sounds too weird to even imagine; however, to an outsider, it probably looks as if we are boyfriend and girlfriend.”
The actor concluded his tale of a fledging romance saying that they’d “taken the friendship to another level” but that once they go off to college, they’ll return to being “just best friends”. Deborah Landes, wherever you are, you are living the dream.
