Bradley Cooper is in the race to play Lance Armstrong

With all the drama Lance Armstrong has stirred up lately, it's no surprise that Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot (J.J. Abrams' company) are making a movie, as we reported earlier. But which actor should play the titular character? (We'd sure Lance would love to, since he's been acting like an athlete for so long; BURN!) Rumor has it that Bradley Cooper, the French-speaking "All About Steve" and "Silver Linings Playbook" heartthrob, has reached out to show his interest, and has already coyly confided to the BBC that he'd be interested in playing Armstrong because he’s a "fascinating character."  It would mean a new 'do for Cooper and literally months of wearing bike shorts. We approve! [Source]
