The 9 O'Clock News - Bradley Cooper: "I didn't lose my virginity until I was 17"

Posted by 17 March 2011 09:00

He might be one of the hottest most men on the planet, but Bradley Cooper has admitted that he didn’t have sex for the first time until he was 17. Speaking to Sirius XM and Howard Stern, he explained that it was all “by choice… I didn’t want to – I grew up a Roman Catholic. I didn't lose my virginity until I was 17.

 

Wow, and here we were imagining Bradley was exactly like his womanising characters in The Hangover and He’s Just Not That Into You. How wrong we were!

 

The 36-year-old actor, who is currently promoting his new flick, Limitless, also explained things haven’t always been so good for him – in fact, while speaking about the pitfalls of LA, he said, “My sister came out, she wanted to kill herself. LA can be horrible!”

 

Eek, that’s pretty scary stuff and Bradley himself has been through a divorce after splitting from his wife of just six months, Jennifer Esposito. “It was just something that happened,” he explained. “The good thing is, we both realised it. It wasn’t right."

Thankfully, it sounds like he’s in a nicer place now though – and is happily together with Renee Zellweger – who he got together with while they both worked on Case 39 in 2009.

 

Crikey, who knew the pretty Hollywood man had so much going on eh? We just thought he went about all day looking hot and flexing his muscles. Seriously, if you need someone to talk to Bradders, we are pretty good listeners…

    I thought the article was going to say an age over 20. 17?? Seriously, is that now considered really old to lose your virginity? Bl**dy hell. No wonder kids are under such pressure with idiotic articles like this. I lost mine at the same age as Bradley. Clearly that makes me a right freak!

    17 is not at all old to lose virginity. Don't know why heatworld making out it is! The average age to lose virginity in UK is 17.

    17 is really very young. I didn't understand the part about his sister- she came out to visit, or she came out because she was gay? It is a bit of a non-sensical sentence.

    I think 17 is a really good age to start, and certainly not any younger.

    It's a quote, so does it matter?
