I swear Bradley Cooper is trying to flip me. Funny, nice hair, Eagles fan… now this: Coop (pet name) was on Letterman last night talking about his new movie, Silver Linings Playbook, which debuts next week. And as you probably already know, the movie was filmed mostly in the Philly area (Delco) and features Robert De Niro as Cooper’s Eagles-obsessed father. Cooper explained to Letterman how Bobby D picked up his Philly accent for the movie:
My uncle, who is a heating and air conditioning repairman– I had my family all over when we were shooting the movie. Robert De Niro said, “Bradley, can I have your uncle read my lines?” I thought, “oh my God.” So, we’re in a hotel room. My Uncle Ernie is sitting there on a couch, Robert De Niro is next to him, [reading his lines]. They went through the whole script, the entire script. At one point, I literally could not stop laughing. My uncle is a tough guy, hands like catcher’s mitts, and he’s getting it from both sides [De Niro and director]. The Philadelphia mentality… when we walked out, my uncle goes, “We’ll see if he does it as good.”
Awesome. But you’d think maybe Coop could throw some money Uncle Ernie’s way? Dude’s slaving around the HVAC industry while his nephew is on late night talk shows being ridiculously good-looking. Sad, man.
Video after the jump.

Saw a screening of ‘Silver Linings’ last night. Mikey Miss was sitting directly behind me, Eskin in the row in front of me. It’s a great movie. Very funny with the right touch of Eagles mixed in. Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t hurt either.
Bradley Cooper isn’t from philly, but pretends his is like the delco trash and south nj trash. i will however see the movie once it’s bootleg

This is my last comment ever on this website as having read the comments prior to mine has now made me so fucking retarded that I won’t be able to turn my laptop on tomorrow morning, assuming that is that I don’t somehow choke myself to death while I am brushing my teeth.
@ The Reddgie- you will be missed
Reddg that comment was retarded.
I’m pretty sure he’s from Jenkintown. It’s the Philadelphia area…can’t we all get along?!
Bradley Cooper grew up in Jenkintown. I know his parents.
He grew up in Abington or went to HS there. Probably knows Jon Marks
He was at the Taggart house a few times while shooting this film. Funny guy
He went to Germantown Academy, graduated with Alvin Williams I believe
He’s my #1 hair crush. Rob ryan is #2. (no homo)
@Pat A. – worth seeing in the theatre great — or wait until it comes out On Demand great?
PS – Yes, there is a difference 🙂
The majority of the movie was filmed in Ridley Township. The house is in Ridley Park.
His uncle still works because they happen to be white.
Anyone else catch that horrible piece of shit llanarch diner in the previews? The fucking llanarch diner?
the house was in upper darby
@NutJob Fans
Yes I’d recommend seeing it if you dont mind dropping $11 for a movie.
