For The Patriot Ledger
“I’m definitely a victim of the magical essence of movies,” he said. “I still to this day feel like I did when I was 10 years old going to the movies. I love when the lights go down and the movie’s about to start.”
He was very candid about the fact that he was totally star struck when he met Jeremy Irons, who plays the character that actually wrote the manuscript found by Cooper’s character.
“The first time I met Jeremy and heard his voice it was incredible,” he said. “But then very quickly what starts to happen is they become human. Robert De Niro is the best example of that for me. I love him, and he’s really just ‘Bob,’ and I never thought that that would be possible! But in many ways, he’s the reason I became an actor, and now we’ve done two movies (“Limitless” and the upcoming “Silver Linings Playbook”).
“That process is so fascinating. I think it happened for all of us with Jeremy, and it’s because these guys – like Liam Neeson and Christopher Walken – are so present and down to earth and make you feel at ease. In terms of acting with them, it’s just effortless because they are so good and you are in such great hands. When you’re acting with a great actor, it’s not as if you’re playing against them in a sport. I don’t want to be playing against Jeremy Irons; I want to be playing with him. Acting is a collaborative sport, and what you’re up against is telling the story. So you’re all on the same team.”
“The Words” opens on Friday.
