早年生涯Bradley Cooper在费城出生，却在Jenkintown长大，他的妈妈是一个意大利裔人，爸爸是个爱尔兰裔美国股票经纪人，所属于Merrill Lynch公司。1993年，Cooper从日耳曼学院毕业后就上了Villanova University，但是在大一的时候却突然转学到了Georgetown University，并顺利拿到英语学士学位。因为Cooper的法语相当流利，所以他又在大学毕业后置身前往法国呆了六个月，随后返乡修读戏剧、表演 专业并顺利在一家纽约演员工作室工作。
职业生涯Cooper的职业生涯开端应该从1998年的《欲望都市》系列开始，当时他还担任着节目《勇闯天涯》的主持人，包括参加了Wet Hot American Summer 盛会。作为配角的Cooper因为演技、表达能力出众得到了更多的赏识，相继而来的大量的演出邀请：有ABC家庭电视剧《我要和Ryan Banks结婚》、《Jack&Bobby》、电视剧《厨房机密》。其中只有一部《厨房机密》被宣布在2005年12月因收视率过低而停播。
2006年3月，Cooper的事业再一次突破了，他在百老汇的Bernard B Jacobs剧院和超级大牌Julia Roberts、Paul Rudd表演了音乐剧Three Days of Rain，随后名声大噪，相继参与了Nip/Tuck第五季、《午夜食人列车》、《他其实没那么喜欢你》、还在《好好先生》《关于史蒂夫的一切》中出任配 角。2009年2月7日，Cooper主持了周六夜现场。
2009年，Cooper的代表作“宿醉”（The Hangover）上映，合作明星是Ed Helms 、Heather Graham，没想到这一部成本极低的小电影居然能成为美国当年的票房巨头和黑马。此片上映后，Cooper的事业再次腾飞，越来越多的著名导演、明星都 与其成为了合作伙伴，如和世界十大美女之一的Jessica Alba合演“情人节”，还有和Robert De Niro合作的“黑暗领域”等等。诸如此类，愈演愈多。
个人生活曾和女星Jennifer Esposito结婚，不久后便对外宣称感情破裂，离婚。现于女星芮妮齐薇格Renée Zellweger交往中。
