Bradley Cooper is sharing a spine-chilling tale involving his dear friend Carey Mulligan.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, let me inform you that Bradley, the dashing 49-year-old sensation, and the talented Carey, who’s only 38 years old, shared the screen in the masterpiece Maestro, which has seven well-deserved Oscar nominations.
Now, let me take you on a rollercoaster ride as Bradley recounts an unforgettable trip to the emergency room with Carey, back in 2018.
Picture this: The mesmerizing star of Silver Linings Playbook decides to support his buddy Carey by attending her performance of Girls & Boys, but little did he know that the night would take a wild turn!
“I went backstage to meet her, and there she was, lying down… because apparently, one of the sets had a mind of its own and bashed her on top of the head halfway through the play,” Bradley vividly recalls during a hilarious guest appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
Concerned for his friend’s wellbeing, Bradley rushed to her side and asked if she was okay. But let me tell you, folks, Carey was far from okay! So, like the gallant knight he is, Bradley swiftly took her to the one place where magical healers reside—the emergency room!
Now, here’s the juicy part! None of the staff at the hospital had any inkling of the chaos that had unfolded on the theatrical battlefield. Why, you ask? It’s because the accident captured Carey in its clutches while the stage lights were off! Cue dramatic music!
As Carey aptly puts it, her tears flowed unceasingly, and she genuinely believed that her days were numbered. You know how it is with head injuries; they mess with your mind, making you think the worst. So there she was, sobbing uncontrollably on the floor, contemplating her fate…
However, destiny had a surprise in store for our dear Carey! Just as she seemed to have resigned herself to her dramatic demise, a hero in the form of a hospital staff member appeared. “Sorry, so sorry,” they stuttered, “Bradley Cooper is here!” Oh, the chaos that must have ensued!
Thankfully, dear old Bradley’s presence managed to calm the storm within Carey’s tormented soul, and she eventually recovered from the traumatic incident.
Oh, and by the way, if you haven’t heard, there’s some exciting news about Bradley Cooper’s love life! But that’s a story for another day, my friends.
