Bradley Cooper is reflecting on his sobriety recently, saying it’s now been 19 years since he struggled with drug and alcohol abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was lucky,” the “A Star is Born” actor told Bear Gryllis on his show “Running Wild with Bear Gryllis:<\/a> The Challenge.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I got sober at 29 years old, and I’ve been sober for 19 years. I’ve been very lucky,” Cooper said.<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old said he was grateful that his fame had been “incremental,” noting that he was 36 when he played his “career-changing” role in 2009\u2019s “The Hangover.”<\/p>\n

“I had already been in the game for 10 years\u00a0just banging around, so I didn\u2019t get lost in fame,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Gryllis asked him about his “wild years,” he answered, “In terms of alcohol and drugs, yeah, but nothing to do with fame, though.”<\/p>\n

He said his sobriety made it easier for him to play an addict in “A Star is Born.”<\/p>\n

“That made it easier to be able to really enter in there. And thank goodness I was at a place in my life where I was at ease with all of that so I could really let myself go,” he said of the role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added that he\u2019s been “very lucky” with the roles he\u2019s gotten over the years. “It\u2019s been a real blessing. I hope I get to keep doing it.”<\/p>\n

Cooper opened up about his addiction on the “Smartless” podcast last year, telling hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes he felt “lost” after leaving the Jennifer Garner-left spy series “Alias,” which he was on from 2001 until 2003.<\/p>\n

“I was so lost, and I was addicted to cocaine<\/a> \u2014 that was the other thing,” Cooper said. “I severed my Achilles tendon right after I got fired-slash-quit\u00a0\u2018Alias\u2019<\/i>\u00a0and struggled with zero self-esteem.”<\/p>\n

He said moved to Los Angeles for his supporting role on “Alias” felt like being back in high school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I could not get into any clubs, no girls wanted to look at me. I was totally depressed,” he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cooper credited then-roommate Arnett with sitting him down in 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Will took that risk of having that hard conversation with me in, like, July of 2000, and that put me on a path of deciding to change my life,” he said. “It truly was Will Arnett \u2014 he is the reason.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “Silver Linings Playbook” actor said he also struggled after his father died in his arms of cancer in 2011.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I definitely had a nihilistic attitude towards life after, just like I thought \u2018I\u2019m going to die,'” he told Gryllis as they hung over the side of a cliff on the show.”I don\u2019t know, it wasn\u2019t great for a little bit until I realized I have to embrace who I actually am and try to find a peace with that, and then it sort of evened out.”<\/p>\n

With his own daughter, Cooper said he hopes to be “rigorous with myself to grow and hopefully unburden her with my s—.”<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the end of the “Running Wild” episode, Cooper said that he’d felt pushed out of his comfort zone by the climbing challenges he faced with Grylls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Every time whether I failed at it or succeeded I’ve just grown and become much more evolved as a human being and that has allowed me to have my relationships with other people to be more fruitful and allowed me to be a better father and allowed me to be a better human,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
