Taylor Swift is famous for writing hit songs about her ex-boyfriends. Bradley Cooper--star of the new, highly-touted "American Sniper" movie--reveals he won't be the subject of a Swift smash hit.
The 40-year-old actor did not mince his words when addressing a persistent rumor that there might be something going on between him and the young singer. While guesting on the "The Howard Stern Show" on Jan. 6, the actor revealed there is no way that he could be the inspiration for one of the 25-year-old pop stars songs--because he says she has never approached him.
Howard said on the show the rumor was that "Taylor Swift wanted to meet you, she was interested in you as a potential boyfriend, you said she was too young for you.'"
Cooper's rebuttal was crystal clear. He declared that the rumor was "Complete horses**t. I never got a call-nothing."
Reports that Swift had asked Cooper's "Silver Linings Playbook" co-star Jennifer Lawrence to introduce her to the actor first arose in RadarOnline in 2013 and the rumors have persisted, reports the Daily Mail.
Stern, not realizing that Cooper's current girlfriend, Suki Waterhouse, is 23, asked the actor if there was an issue with Swift being younger.
Bradley replied: "I don't even know how old she is."
The radio show host told the "American Hustle" star: "You could date a 23-year-old [thinking that was Taylor's age]," adding that Cooper and Swift could be a Hollywood "power couple."
The actor glibly asked Stern, "You would like to see that, you think me and Taylor Swift?"
Stern offered, "I can tell physically you would make beautiful children together."
