Bradley Cooper & Mahershala Ali | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

This season, both Bradley Cooper and Mahershala Ali are pulling off a double act. Cooper’s fans can see him in two period pieces: As the lead of “Nightmare Alley,” in which he plays a tormented mentalist desperate for validation in the 1940s traveling-carnival scene, and as a key supporting player in “Licorice Pizza,” in which he’s a deranged version of the producer Jon Peters. Ali’s double duty is more forward-looking, and more literal: In the futuristic sci-fi film “Swan Song,” the Oscar winner plays a dying man as well as the clone who may replace him.

The amount of respect in this interview is just undeniable. Bradley Cooper is such a down to earth guy and Mahershala Ali is just so cool. These are kings

[@bradlycooperfans0186]

Hi dear greetings from Bradly Cooper How long have you been following me ?

[@macdanielhoward4243]

These are two actors I could listen to for hours.

[@khyrianstorms]

Not with this audio haha

[@nilfux]

Agreed. Being able to do what you love to make a living should be what they teach in public schools.

[@mariadasgracassoarescobell7633]

Eles são ótimos,adoro❤

[@IzKyD1331]

you can tell bradley is really thinking about his answers when he closes his eyes to concentrate, love his dedication

[@ArghyadeepPal]

He goes into Eddie Morra mode lol

[@kounvibz]

this is by far the best interview on this channel

[@mr29]

Bradley Cooper's last scene in Nightmare Alley is one of the most beautiful and terrifying pieces of acting I have seen in years.

[@erikbentley9005]

Incredible performance and film

[@moonlightttzz]

it’s a crime this conversation is only 27 minutes!! I need this to be an hour long. incredible actors, incredible people.

Oh a few years

[@OutOfTheBoxArt]

I really appreciated this, though it seemed like the majority of the conversation was Bradley answering Mahershala's thoughtful questions. I would've liked to have heard more from the brilliant Mr. Ali.

[@TraceyOfficial]

I love it so much when two intelligent people have a conversation they will allow me to listen in on. Thank you

[@electrosoulgurrl2018]

These are truly professional artists who love their craft with genuine mutual respect. It was very engaging rather than whimsical. Thanks guys and yes please do a movie together both of you!

[@sirgregarious2099]

I want Mahershala to be my life coach. His chill, relaxed tone just puts me at ease.

[@giosasso]

Love it. We need more conversations between actors and directors having genuine conversations. I wish this was a 3 hour conversation.

[@keanureeves666]

Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love and moral support😊🌹

[@delrey874]

I'm really looking forward to Maestro. If he does well, he will win an Oscar.

[@dloregonlin31]

I think it's time! He has like 8 nominations and hopefully he would receive some this year.

[@marythoidou2352]

Praying for that!He deserves it all the way!❤️

[@bacnic]

really liking this format, It lets more space for the actors to get thing out instead of a journalist asking questions. They listen by default to one another and you feel the freedom of not being on a set but at home

[@GorgonDrageil]

Loving the energy of this interview. Wasn't expecting Bradley to be so passionate, and I love the depth of insight Mahershela brought.

[@riverofjoystudios7693]

Two of my favorite actors working right now. To me Bradley Cooper will always be associated with Silver Linings Playbook, and how that role helped me when dealing with my own bipolar diagnosis. And Mahershala in Moonlight was brilliant. I remember watching him in the last two Hunger Games movies, and to see where he is now is awesome to see. I definitely need to check out their new films soon 👍🏽

[@ruksanakabir46]

Two great intelligent actors.. two great gentlemen.. how wonderful to see when a great actor appreciate another great actor.. no jealousy nothing.. just love and gratitude..

[@mattj2081]

Man I love this series! Two great actors just talking shop and are genuinely interested in what the other says.

Mahershala's smile is so wonderful

[@katescott4049]

These actors on actors conversations are so intresting and an amazing opportunity to get a deeper look into the movies of these actors , their process everything.

[@filmtoppings]

The Place Beyond the Pines is underrated as hell

[@brandonrupp5880]

Yup

[@user-pv4ip9ce5n]

Surprised Leo was the first choice for Stan, I think Bradley was perfect an really glad that role went to him

[@guyivie8987]

It's unfortunate they focused so much on Bradley Cooper, and didn't discuss Swan Song more, because Mahershala Ali's performance was amazing and powerful. Can't get enough of him on screen, and I can't recommend that movie highly enough.

[@zanaleezee]

These two are just so full of the light of love and commitment and passion for what they do. Fantastic talk.

[@nathanmalik1697]

Bradley needed to talk and big ups to Mahershala for his graceful sensitivity.

[@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi]

I absolutely love these two. Wonderful conversation. Thank you for sharing.

[@HovaNirvana]

Possibly my two favorite working actors in recent memory. Can’t wait to get into this.

[@pitpride1220]

[@keanureeves666]

[@staciegibson6863]

A little too much Bradley and not enough Mahershala in this interview...just my opinion, lol!

[@keanureeves666]

Hello gorgeous Thanks for the utmost love and moral support😊🌹

[@PriyankaSharma-of2uv]

And rightly so

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

The last shot of Nightmare Alley summed up everything for me. I was wondering if there was some significance to the geek character during the movie. I asked myself how does human being end up in that position, not realizing I was watching it happen already to Bradley Cooper's character.

Every time Mahershala smiles it's like the skies open and sunshine comes down from the heavens ❤️ ☀️😌

Mahershala and Bradley you can be both very proud of this zoom meeting. This was a nice and interesting zoom meeting, where i have had learned so much. Thank you for being so transparent and honest. Bradley you played Stan so fantastic. Nobody could do this better even Leo ( sorry Leo I love your work too . )But in this movie he nailed everything.Bradley was Stan i could feel it . Stan was in his soul and body.Mahershala. You are a great actor . Thank you very much for this beautiful interview.

[@AbdallahBotan]

Limitless is inifinite movie of Bradley I watch every time to get motivation of it. I consider NZT as mental shift that everyone can try to indulge himself in. On Maherashala, I love Green Book. It's also personal. Everyone who works meet hateful people and how he comes over is awesome.

[@danyl6298]

Terrific to see actors of this caliber speak in such a humble way. Very insightful amd carefully thought out questions on behalf of Mahershala. I gotta say Bradley is such a gentleman and kind soul, the way he responded to questions by adding “we”, therefore also turning the spotlight on Mahershala for the audience to honor two actors and not one. By the looks of it Bradley is going to put some energy into giving us the opportunity to see them work together. I surely look forward to it! I can’t wait to see Mahershala as Blade he will be phenomenal.
