Is Bradley Cooper the most polarizing actor in Hollywood? Judging by our unscientific polling, it's no question.
For every "OMG, he's so hot!" comment on the web, you will find a sentence with the words "Bradley Cooper" and "douche" in it. We rounded up a few diverse opinions from various message boards and social networking sites to show what an actual conversation would look like between the "Silver Linings Playbook" star's supporters and detractors.
And yes, we know going on screen names alone can't 100 percent confirm the posters' genders, but we went with our best hunches. (Detective_scrotes, we're pretty sure you're a guy, if not in law enforcement.) One thing the Internet can all agree on: People like using exclamation points.
SHE: So if you get arrested who will you request they "hold against you"? Me: Bradley Cooper
HE: Bradley Cooper on His Favorite Books: 'Huckleberry Finn,' 'Lolita,' Ayn Rand. Effin idiot then.
SHE: Love to press a button and be at home ... in bed ... with tea ... and Bradley Cooper ...
HE: Do you think Bradley Cooper was BORN a serial murderer, or do you think he was a product of his environment?
SHE: Holy hell. The things I'd do [to] Bradley Cooper!
HE: It's sad when you're having a bromance with Bradley Cooper and he turns out to be a horse in aviator shades pretending to be Bradley Cooper.
SHE: Bradley Cooper is the definition of perfection.
HE: Bradley Cooper is the slightly-more-thinking man's Taylor Kitsch.
SHE: Beautiful, charming, adorable, kissable face. Plays "FACE" in "The A-Team" very convincingly and with good reason - he's HOT!
HE: I just don't get why they keep trying to sell this guy as a ruggedly handsome type or whateverthehell ... IMDB or whoever can touch up however many pics/posters of this dude that they want, I don't care ... He is weird looking.
Warner Bros.
SHE: I'm married and my husband knows I would bang him like a screen door in a hurricane.
HE: Plus, he's a hack "actor" used because he is cheap ... Not to mention his "Mouse Face"! He's ruining decent movies and working his way back to the C-List and horrible TV pilots!!
SHE: My boyfriend made me sit through "The Hangover." The scene where they are going out and he has on his black on black shirt and jacket. WOOOOWWWWSERS!!!! GORGEOUS!!!!
HE: I don't know what it is about him, but every time I see him, I get a urge of wanting to punch him in the face.
SHE: Is it weird that I think he is insanely drop dead gorgeous and I'm 17? I could almost be his daughter... lol. I'm not that typical teen who gushes over Justin Bieber and Robert Pattinson ... I'm a film freak and I like older guys. hehe.
HE: He has a douche face.
SHE: My sister and I saw "Limitless" last night and we were both like, oh my goodness, he is stunning. He was still beautiful in the beginning when he was kind of a slacker/loser with bad hair, but once he cleaned himself up, cut his hair, shaved, and started wearing tailored suits and crisp shirts, he just took my breath away. I know that sounds corny, but I literally could not breathe when he was on screen.
HE: Judging by the company he keeps and "chooses" to act with, I'd say Bradley is a big time douche bag!! I can't think of one of his roles that 20 or more other B-listers couldn't have pulled off. I hope Bradley is at LEAST cheap!!
SHE: Bradley Cooper is incredibly talented...but WOW is he absolutely gorgeous! I never thought I'd have a celebrity crush as huge as Johnny Depp, but it's fair too say Bradley Cooper is a god.
HE: Has anyone else noticed this? He seems to have a high opinion of both himself and his looks.
KELLY CLARKSON: Bradley Cooper ....yummy.
HE: The man has pretty eyes, I give him that, but the weakest chin. I find a weak chin a poor sign of character.
SHE: Apa-apa pun, Bradley Cooper memang hot.
HE: If Bradley Cooper was a bird, he'd be like that douchebag bird who's kind of a jerk.
SHE: He may look like he's a mega-douche in real life, but Bradley Cooper is quite easy on the eyes.
HE: The only roles this guy should play are date rapists and Ted Bundy, Scott Peterson types. What a douche.
SHE: Bradley Cooper is a fine ass white boy!
