Bradley Cooper has conceded that he might not be the Sexiest Men Alive. Though the research of the groundbreaking scientists over at People suggests otherwise, he says his dreamboat-in-waiting Ryan Gosling is totally dishier. “There was such a backlash to when they announced it and Ryan Gosling, who I love and I just did a movie with him – he’s the greatest – but we were both in Paris this last week and a friend of mine showed me … photographs from the paparazzi – and when I say friend, I mean me, alone in my room, looking at the computer,” he said on The Graham Norton Show. “And it’s like him walking around and he literally looks like he’s in a photoshoot, like he just came off the runway, like the pea coat is like this with the scarf. There are ones of me, and I literally look like the neighbor who never really comes out of his house, and when he does, you’re like, ‘Maybe you should just stay in.'” In related news, Bradley Cooper gay rumors resurface.
