Biography:
Babe-alicious Hangover star Bradley was born in Philadelphia. After graduating with an English degree from Georgetown University in 1997, he went on to study at the renowned Actors Studio Drama School at New School University, New York.
Bradley began his acting career with roles on TV, starring in Sex and the City before getting his first big break landing the role of Will Tippin in the hit US TV drama Alias in 2001 alongside Jennifer Garner.
The same year, he made his feature film debut in the cult hit comedy Wet Hot American Summer with Paul Rudd. He’s since gone on to carve out a nice little niche for himself as one of Hollywood’s favourite comedy character actors. Starring in hits like the Wedding Crashers in 2005 and Yes Man with Jim Carrey, he became a major star in 2009 starring in The Hangover and gained further recognition for his seriously buff new bod in 2010’s The A-Team.
Bradley married actress Jennifer Esposito in 2006, with the couple filing for divorce the following year. He also dated A-list star Renee Zellweger from 2009 to March 2011.
