Inside The Actors Studio

James Lipton's famous Actors Studio hotseat has played host to many of Hollywood's good and great.

This time, it's the turn of Bradley Cooper, who gets a bit emotional. Lipton is consistently being asked who his ideal guest would be, and always answers the same way: "The night that one of our graduated students has achieved so much that he or she walks out on this stage and takes that chair will be the moment I've waited for since we began the school and the series 17 years ago."

This brand new episode of Inside The Actors Studio gives him that moment as Actors Studio Drama School graduate Bradley Cooper takes to the stage.

We'll be honest, we wouldn't have expected the A-Team and Hangover star to be the weepy type, but the return to his alma mater plucks at Cooper's heartstrings. Lipton's gentle interview style, a few questions about his drama school days and a clip of the young actor as a student in the audience of Inside The Actors Studio asking his idol and future Limitless co-star Robert De Niro a question quickly get the waterworks flowing.

It's thankfully a sweet, rather than cheesy, moment as the actor admits he's "a loud crier," (though not a "sobber") before gathering himself to continue the interview, speaking candidly about his childhood, future aspirations and his film career.
