\"bradley-cooper\"<\/a>One of the bigger celebrity trainwreck stories of the new year has been the confessional interview of Lance Armstrong admitting to Oprah Winfrey something we all pretty much suspected anyway – that he had used performance-enhancing drugs to help him secure his unprecedented number of wins at bicycling’s Tour de France.<\/p>\n

Spinning out of that story, was a rumor last week that there was a biopic about Armstrong being developed by J J Abrams’ Bad Robot production company and that Ocar-nominated Bradley Cooper was going to be playing the disgraced athlete.<\/p>\n

It turns out that the stories were half correct. Bad Robot did indeed option the rights the book proposal Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong<\/em>, from a New York Times<\/em> sports writer. However, Cooper only stated that he would be interested in playing Armstrong in an interview with the BBC, unaware that there was even such a project in development.<\/p>\n

Or as he said last night at the Screen ACtors Guild Awards to Access Hollywood – “Oh my god, that’s so nuts!”<\/p>\n

See what he did there?<\/p>\n

Cooper further clarified, “”I had no idea what [the BBC interviewer] was talking about. I didn\u2019t even know that J.J. has the rights, I had no idea.”<\/p>\n

So much for that, I guess. Except now everyone seems to think that Cooper would be good casting for the role. And that can’t be bad for Cooper can it?<\/p>\n
