United States - ‘Sexiest’ man gets ugly

Bradley Cooper, not too long ago crowned “sexiest man alive” by People magazine, is coming to Broadway in an ugly role. Producers said on Thursday that the “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle” actor will star in “The Elephant Man” this fall.

It’s about a disfigured man in Victorian London whose own inner goodness forces people to reevaluate their notions of beauty. The last time “The Elephant Man” was on Broadway was in 2002, with Billy Crudup in the starring role. The play by Bernard Pomerance shows some two dozen snapshots in the life of the grotesque John Merrick, tracing his journey from an abused circus freak to a curiosity of London’s high society.
