Jennifer Garner Laughs Over The First Time She Knew Bradley Cooper Was Actually Handsome

Jennifer Garner had a good time roasting and toasting her former “Alias” co-star Bradley Cooper on Thursday night at the American Cinematheque Awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Jennifer, who worked with Bradley on the hit spy drama, when they were both young in their careers couldn’t help but laugh about how ABC convinced a young Bradley to frost the tips of his hair. She lovingly mused that the look was a total turnoff to millions of women around the world.

And then one day she overheard him speaking French to someone backstage and she thought to herself… “Wait a minute, is Bradley Cooper handsome!?

Jennifer, who has remained close with Bradley through the years, told the audience that his success this year with “A Star Is Born” is particularly meaningful and such an honor for him. She’s watched him go from frosted tips to “The Hangover” and then onto this year’s award-winning film.

“There is something about people who have fame and success. I know the heart and stomach of Bradley Cooper. It turns out you weren’t just handsome all along, you were a wonder. You are welcome at my table any time,” she shared.

Aww! Their friendship is too cute!
