What is Bradley Cooper nominated for at the Oscars 2019, who's his girlfriend Irina Shayk and what's his net worth?

Here's everything you need to know about the dashing Hollywood hunk who is up for several Academy Awards at the Oscars 2019.

Who is Bradley Cooper and what is his background?

Bradley Charles Cooper, born January 5, 1975, is a 43-year-old American actor from Philadelphia.

After rising to global fame through Oscar-nominated movie Silver Linings Playbook, Cooper was one of the highest-paid actors in the world for three years.

During his youth, Bradley was really into cooking and the military, and he originally wanted to be a ninja in Japan.

But, by the time he reached the end of high school he had no idea what he wanted to be.

He eventually studied English at Georgetown University in Washington, and while he was there he began acting in a local theatre group.

He made his big acting debut in an episode of Sex And The City in 1999, before studying an acting Masters in New York.

Around that time he also co-hosted a Discovery Channel travel series called Globe Trekker.

What is Bradley Cooper nominated for at the Oscars 2019?

Bradley has been put forward for several gongs after wowing critics with his blockbuster A Star Is Born.

He's up for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The results will be confirmed in just a few hours' time.

What movies has Bradley Cooper been in and what is his net worth?

From 2001 to 2009, Bradley starred in eleven movies, none of which earned him much attention or praise.

However, in 2009 he bagged two career-making roles in the laddish comedy The Hangover alongside Zach Galifianakis, and in the rom-com He's Just Not That Into You with a huge all-star cast.

After that, stardom seemed inevitable – and thanks to 2011 Thriller Limitless and a sequel to The Hangover, he soon hit the big time.

A starring role alongside Jennifer Lawrence in 2012's Silver Linings Playbook, for which he was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars, sent his career sky-rocketing.

That – as well as critical praise for The Place Beyond The Pines- meant that before long, he was never off a movie set, and was soon raking in the dough.

Since 2009, he's starred in American Hustle, Guardians Of The Galaxy, American Sniper, Burnt, and Joy, among other huge feature films.

If that wasn't enough, he's also joining the Marvel movie universe in the 2018 Avengers movie.

And, he even impressed theatre critics by playing the title role in a stage adaptation of The Elephant Man in London.

Now, he is busy promoting his latest movie A Star is Born with co-star Lady Gaga.

As of 2018, Celebrity Net Worth reports that Cooper is estimated to be worth £100 million.

Who is his girlfriend Irina Shayk and do they have any children?

Bradley Cooper dated many top actresses early in his career, including Renee Zellweger, Cameron Diaz, and Zoe Saldana, his Guardians Of The Galaxy co-star.

He was married to Jennifer Esposito in December 2006, but she filed for divorce five months later.

Bradley also caused a stir by going out with British model and actress Suki Waterhouse when she was 17 years his junior.

The heartthrob is now with Russian underwear model Irina Shayk who gave birth to their daughter Lea de Seine in March 2017, and they remain unmarried.

In interviews, Bradley has discussed his struggle with alcohol addiction – a habit that affected him while he was still working in TV in the early noughties, and that he kicked in 2004.

Bradley is also an ambassador for cancer and Alzheimer's charities.
