According to this, there is supposedly a People article where he mentions speaking French. Someone should try to find that source. Wknight94 talk 12:11, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Okay, anyway, back to the article - how about that People link instead of the video itself? Anyone have a reference for the lived in France claim? Wknight94 talk 18:23, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
the caption of a photo 'bradley cooper playing in the water' should be changed. makes him sound like a three year old imo.
Might the information about Cooper studying at the New School be better suited as the opening for the "Career" section rather than "Early life" as it is directly related to his career and it was while he attended the drama program that he began working in the industry? Abadguitarist ( talk) 23:21, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Should we be listing a school Cooper only briefly attended and did not receive a degree from as his alma mater in the infobox? It also looks like the article is missing a source for this fact about his education.
I also think the degrees received from the schools he did graduate from should be included as short form (MFA instead of Master of Fine Arts, BA for Bachelor of Arts) to keep the infobox clean and free of unnecessary content Abadguitarist ( talk) 15:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
An IP, in one edit, made many changes to the formatting of the article, as well as adding lists and categories. The edit violates WP:OVERLINK, wikilinking words like London, American, Pennsylvania, and many more. The IP violated WP:CAT adding container categories like Category:20th-century American people. The edit added a See also section with useless lists (like List of Georgetown University alumni, even though there is already a category for that) and generic portals like biography, film, theater, and television. The edit added bullets to the infobox for alma mater, even though bullets are non-customary. The edit changed the style of years active in the infobox from 1999-present to "Since 1999".
I reverted because it was done as one edit and I didn't feel like going back in and undoing all the problems, while leaving some possibly valid edits in place. The IP reverted and told me to take it here, so I'm doing that, but I'm also going to revert again because it's contrary to style. The IP will have to justify the edits.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
On Oct 25 an IP made an edit to the career section changing "Cooper starred in the ABC family film I Want to Marry Ryan Banks..." to "Cooper appeared in the ABC family film I Want to Marry Ryan Banks..." without explanation. On the I Want to Marry Ryan Banks article Cooper is listed in a starring role. Cooper more than "appears" in this film. Given that this information is in the same sentence as that of Jack and Bobby in which his recurring role is more accurately described as an "appearance," I think this statement is slightly misleading. Is there a reason the line needed to be changed to say "appeared"? If someone has taken offense to the term "starred," I suggest the line should read "Cooper co-starred with Jason Priestley in the ABC family film I Want to Marry Ryan Banks."-- Abadguitarist ( talk) 17:40, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
No source is cited in support of this claim. It looks suspicious to me. Apart from anything, "Cooper" is a typically English surname, and not at all common in Ireland (where it is present in Ireland it is usually easily traced to an English root). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shiresman ( talk • contribs) 15:19, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
I doubt it, his surnames English. 86.152.28.47 ( talk) 22:32, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Kampanos is also a very common Greek surname, just check google: Aris Kampanos, Konstantinos Kampanos, Iraklis Kampanos, Georgios Kampanos...... 124.187.107.114 ( talk)
Interesting source for Bradley Cooper's mothers' ethnicity : Kampana + bell in Greek. Kampanos (Greek: Καμπανός) is a community and a village in Chania regional unit on the island of Crete, Greece. It is the seat of the municipal unit of East Selino (Anatoliko Selino). The community consists of the following villages (population in 2001): Kampanos, pop. 205 Maralia, pop. 40 The village is in a basin surrounded by very old olive oil trees, close to the village an old school is located which is the town hall of East Selino. The village is 52km from Chania city center,about 1,10 hours 124.187.107.114 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:26, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Corrected misleading credit: the description made it seem like "Sex & the City" was HIS show, originally written here as: "Cooper began his professional acting career with his first television show 'Sex and the City' in 1999". You see the problem there? Corrected that. Also separated what was originally the second half of that sentence into a sentence of its own, and clarified it. Originally written as: "... also served as a 'presenter' for Globe Trekker I edited to correctly identify that program's host position which the program itself refers to as their "traveller". By the way, this article is a real whitewash of Cooper's career. To add some balance, more mention of early appearances in disposable films such as "Bending All The Rules" should be mentioned in the prose; more than merely the Filmography listing. I'd add something myself about it right now but no time at the moment, just happened to (try to) watch the movie on late night movie channel. Happy Holidays to all~ Penwatchdog ( talk) 15:09, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
So I came across this picture on Commons where Cooper is participating in a Center for American Progress event. I think this would go well in the personal life section, since Cooper endorses several groups like Alzheimer's Association and The National Geographic Society. Not sure if others agree with it, but I figured I might as well throw it out there. Famous Hobo ( talk) 21:38, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
You can only use these (former and/or latter) when there are two items in a list -- not when there are three. I don't have time to straighten this out, so anyone is welcome to do so. 148.177.1.224 ( talk) 12:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
I checked "latter" in Apple dictionary - it has two meanings; one denotes the second, the other is something occurring nearer to the end than beginning. With the latter being the case here, I don't think its usage is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8108:1BF:AB8C:A0CF:6E28:C8B0:7247 ( talk) 13:54, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Bradley Cooper, as of recently, has been seen in the recurring presence of Mayela Cameron under date-like circumstances. This new development in Cooper's life is extraordinary because Mayela is of Spanish descent and lives in a small rural town teaching as a Spanish teacher. Since he has swept her off her feet, she has grown into the life of fame. This information should be included in the personal life segment of the article. Rhymeswithorangelarkbball ( talk) 02:02, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
Bradley is due to be a father this year, and I posted this in an edit along with his partners. Not sure why this was removed if I included reputable sources. CB19 ( talk) 23:18, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Across Wikipedia, biographies feature a lead-in paragraph with general information about the person. Sundry details about spouses, relationships, divorces and children are discussed later, either in the body of the article or (more often) under a special section, "Personal Life."
