Cooper discussed his directing endeavors, such as “A Star Is Born” and “Maestro,” with host David Remnick during a recent episode of “The New Yorker Radio Hour” podcast. Cooper also discussed his decision to shift to more dramatic roles. Then Cooper was asked by Remnick, “Are you done with fun? In other words, if another kinda fun comic role came along, it was three months of your life, it’s not ‘Hangover 5’ but something of a similar spirit.”
Cooper said, “Well, I would do ‘Hangover 5.'” He laughed and added, “It would be ‘Hangover 4’ first, but yeah.” “You would do that in a flash? Not just to pay the bills,” Remnick enquired. Cooper remarked, “I would probably do ‘Hangover 4’ in an instant. Just because I love Todd [Phillips], I love Zach [Galifianakis], I love Ed [Helms] so much, I probably would.” Cooper stated, “I would definitely do ‘Hangover 4’ in a heartbeat.” “I definitely would, just because I adore Ed [Helms], Zach [Galifianakis], and Todd [Phillips] so much.” “I don’t think Todd’s ever going to do that,” Cooper said in response to a question about the possibility of a fourth “Hangover” movie.
Cooper co-starred with Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha, and Ken Jeong in the 2009 film “The Hangover.” Two sequels to the outrageous comedy film, “The Hangover,” were released: “The Hangover Part II” in 2011 and “The Hangover Part III” in 2013. Cooper stated that although he hasn’t recently played traditionally humorous characters, he is “having fun” with his current endeavors. He doesn’t find these more serious films to be as “exhausting” as some people may. “There’s nothing more fun that I’ve experienced than ‘Maestro’ and ‘A Star is Born,’” he declared. “If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t do it.”
