H
ollywood actor Bradley Cooper doesn’t have much time for pleasure these days with his insanely busy schedule; luckily, within his job, he gets to marry work with one of his favourite pastimes – travel. The Hangover star says traversing the globe is his favourite way to de-stress; from mingling with locals and sampling foods from all cultures, the world is literally Bradley Cooper’s oyster.
FOR THE HANGOVER SEQUEL YOU SPENT TIME IN THAILAND, HOW WAS THAT EXPERIENCE FOR YOU?
Yeah, we spent Christmas in Chiang Mai, which is incredible, but I just fell in love with Bangkok. We spent two weeks there and I couldn’t wait to get back to Bangkok. I like Top Menu, which was a Chinese restaurant where I ate a lot in the city.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE COUNTRY THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH?
The people in Bangkok in general are
I explored Paris on a motorcycle late at night until two or three in the morning
beautiful, men and women. It’s incredible and certainly the women are gorgeous over there. There’s just something about the spirit of the people. I mean, they call it the Land of a Thousand Smiles, and there’s a reason for that. There’s just an openness and gentility that is very infectious. There’s something about the energy of the women and the people there that you want to be around. That’s one of the reasons why I fell in love with Bangkok and would go back in a heartbeat
YOU RECENTLY STARRED IN A FILM CALLED BURNT, SET IN A TOP RESTAURANT. IS FOOD ONE OF YOUR GREATEST PASSIONS?
I love food. Especially eating it! I love all kinds of food. I love pizza. I love pizza too much. I could eat it all day every day… Growing up in an Italian household, my grandmother was an amazing cook, and food was highly significant in my family. I love to cook myself, I’m always cooking for friends.
