Bradley Cooper Does De Niro

Philly-area actor Bradley Cooper appeared on David Letterman's show last night, promoting his new film Limitless, which opens this Friday. In the segment, he talks about the new movie and how, after working with him, he can't stop imitating Robert De Niro, even on the set of The Hangover 2. He also sneaks a spot-on Owen Wilson imitation in front of a very appreciative crowd.

The Rydal native is enjoying a superstar turn at the moment, making the rounds on the late night talk shows, both local and national papers, and even appearing on his own 'Inside the Actor's Studio', the first graduate of the prestigious program to be fawned over by host James Lipton, an honor which may have temporarily overwhelmed him.

In his amusingly diverting new film, Cooper plays a down-and-out loser who is given a pill that allows him to utilize 100% of his brain. But you get the sense the actor himself is already operating at peak performance.
