Bradley Cooper Time-Travels to 1862 in ‘The Righteous Gemstones’—Because Why Not?

Buy Me A Coffee

Surprise! Hollywood’s favorite charming raccoon-eyed leading man, Bradley Cooper, has somehow stumbled his way into The Righteous Gemstones—and we are absolutely here for it.

Fans tuning into the season four premiere were probably expecting the usual holy hijinks from the Gemstone family, but what they weren’t expecting was to be suddenly transported back to 1862 and see Bradley Freakin’ Cooper in full period-piece glory. Yes, you read that right. This man went from Maestro to ministerial time traveler in the blink of an eye.

How Did This Even Happen?
Danny McBride—creator, writer, actor, and all-around comedy wizard—explained how he managed to snatch Bradley out of his Oscar-laden Hollywood life and plop him into the Gemstone universe.

“I knew this role had to be someone insanely good-looking,” Danny admitted. “Like, the kind of guy who makes people forget about everyone else on screen. And let’s be real, that’s Bradley Cooper in a nutshell.”

McBride and his producing partner Brandon James tossed around some ideas until Danny casually joked, “I dunno, someone like Bradley Cooper.”

To which Brandon responded: “So… should we just ask Bradley Cooper?”

Look, this is why you always shoot your shot.

No Persuasion Necessary
Most of us assume that getting an A-lister like Bradley Cooper onto a TV show involves weeks of carefully orchestrated Hollywood negotiations, soul-selling, or at least an elaborate PowerPoint presentation. But nope.

Danny McBride just sent him the script, and Bradley called back almost immediately, saying, “Yeah, I’m in.”

What makes this even more unhinged is that Cooper had never seen The Righteous Gemstones before. Instead of binge-watching like the rest of us mere mortals, he decided to go in completely blind like some kind of method-acting daredevil. Respect.

Catch the Final Season (While You Still Can)
The fourth and final season of The Righteous Gemstones is officially here, with new episodes dropping every Sunday on HBO and Max. So if you want to witness Bradley Cooper as a long-lost Gemstone ancestor navigating the Civil War era, you better tune in before this wild ride is over.

Moral of the story? If you casually mention Bradley Cooper’s name, he just might show up.
