Bradley Cooper Suffers Depression

June 12th, 2010 // 3 Comments

Its a hard life for Bradley Cooper seen here outside ABC studios for an appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly in
New York City, June 9th. With all his various movie roles and his rumored marriage to Renee Zellweger, its easy to get depressed. What a sucky existence!

After wrapping up the A-Team with Liam Neeson, Bradley slowly started down the scary slope into junk food land. After the grueling workouts and the strict dieting, he needed a break. This led to him apparently pigging out and losing his perfect physique as Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck. And we all know that his body is his career. Oh wait, its his stellar acting skills, right?

“I shrunk back down two weeks after we
finished shooting. It was depressing. Before that, I spent much longer
brushing my teeth (to look at myself in the mirror). I was craving pizza
so badly that the night we finished shooting I ate two arugula and
prosciutto pies and a plate of Cherry Garcia ice cream with trail mix on
top of it. And I did it again the next night,” Cooper told People magazine.

It seems Cooper is learning many important lessons now that he is in the limelight. Don’t lose your physique, don’t eat your career away and when applying self tanner, always include your whole face.

    Way to make light of a serious problem: depression. Depression can affect all people regardless of life circumstances. Besides, his life has its troubles too. The constant pressure of having to look a certain way for your livelihood, and to avoid criticism form people like YOU, can get to you.

    In addition, binge eating behavior is not a necessary consequence of full blown depression. Your article doesn’t not even directly address the headline topic of depression! That’s just bad writing.

    Finally, after having to restrict oneself from anything and a living of life of discipline to the extreme like he did for the “A-Team”, almost always results in rebound behavior. I’ve been in his shoes for. I understand what its like.

    I know as gossip columnist its your job to criticize and put down celebs so you and your readers can feel better about themselves, but being critical and making light of serious problems like depression (or maybe indirectly eating disorders) goes too far.

    Are you just ignorant or have you no soul?!
