While most people know Bradley Cooper as the bully from 'The Wedding Crashers,' he is back and ready to grab Hollywood by the you-know-what. Gearing up for his comedic role in 'The Hangover,' Cooper admits, "I'm not even funny at all. That's what's so ironic," he revealed in the June issue of Details (on newsstands June 2.)

In his new movie, 'The Hangover,' Cooper plays "instigator with buckets of bad advice," when a group of friend wake up in their Vegas Caesars Palace suite, only to realize they've lost the groom. The movie also stars Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis.

Details: Bradley's Photo Shoot | His Full Interview

About his character, Phil: "Yeah, my character says the most horrid things in the movie ... I thought, the last scene, I gotta have my kid with me. He's got to be asleep on my shoulder when we're looking at photographs ... My uncle is a Phil. He talks this game. The way those men handle the children -- it's just amazing. They pick them up like a chef handling a piece of poultry, but it's with utter love and care and dominion. It breaks my heart. I thought, I want to be that. You get up, brush your teeth, your kid's on your f---ing shoulder. Don't make a big deal about it. Then, when my kid's asleep, I'm drinking a beer, talking about somebody banging chicks in Vegas."

On why he went into show business: "...When I was a kid, I would fake-fight all the time. I was really good at sound effects. That's the reason why I thought I could be effective in this business."

On the benefits of not being recognized as a celebrity: "I don't have to curtail my life at all. Zero. Zero. Zero."
