Bradley Cooper turned down matchmaking with Jennifer Lawrence

Ah, the Hollywood dating scene—a tangled web of intrigue, friendship, and unexpected matchmaking attempts. In 2013, we discovered that while Bradley Cooper was single, his good friend and co-star Jennifer Lawrence tried to play Cupid with Taylor Swift. The Silver Linings Playbook duo caused quite a stir when Lawrence invited Cooper to meet the pop queen. But, surprise! Bradley was not on board. Let’s unravel this tangled thread.

Friendship of a dynamic duo

Cooper and Lawrence are no strangers to each other. Their on-screen chemistry saw them star in many Oscar-nominated films, cementing their bond as a powerhouse Hollywood duo. However, despite their friendship, romance was never on the agenda for them. So, when Jennifer decided to take matchmaking into her own hands, it raised some eyebrows. At the time, Cooper was still at the top of his game, and although he was single, he needed to be more interested in potential dates. Enter Taylor Swift, the Grammy-winning sensation poised to win Cooper’s seat, not his heart.

In 2013, following the success of Silver Linings Playbook, the Hunger Games star thought, “Why not help my buddy?” She asked Swift out on a date, a tempting offer that could have made headlines. But Bradley quickly refused. It wasn’t that he wasn’t interested in dating; it was more about the age difference and Taylor’s reputation in relationships. An insider shared with Radar Online that he thinks Taylor is “too young” for him and prefers to look for something more age-appropriate.

The “too young” factor

Talk about a plot twist! Cooper’s hesitation was not just due to Taylor’s age; he was wary of her reputation as a “serial dater”. Despite Lawrence’s good intentions, Cooper found him in an awkward position. After all, he didn’t want to disappoint his girlfriend, especially knowing that he and Swift were friends. “Who politely declines,” the insider said, “knowing full well that Jennifer and Taylor are friends.”

It’s clear that while Swift was willing to swipe right, Cooper wasn’t particularly keen on her. He focused on finding a serious relationship, which was out of the question when Su was 16 years old.

Consequences of a missed connection

Fast forward to today and we see Cooper continuing to thrive in Hollywood, most recently voicing Rocket Raccoon in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Volume. 3. His portrayal of a genetically engineered creature struck a chord and left viewers weeping over his emotional journey. Far from a potential date with Swift, right?

Jennifer Lawrence has certainly moved on, building an impressive resume, but the memories of that matchmaking attempt remain. Perhaps someday she will have another chance to play on the mat. Maybe next time she’ll double-check the age difference!

So what’s the moral of this bizarre Hollywood story? Sometimes even the best intentions can go awry. Cooper and Swift never became a reality, but both continued their successful paths. And this story is worth telling!
