Actor Bradley Cooper would love to return to a fourth Hangover movie. The Maestro actor had his breakthrough role as Phil, teacher and leader of the Wolf Pack, in the first Hangover movie in 2009, and he would return for a fourth film “in an instant”.

Cooper appeared on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast and was asked: “Are you done with fun? In other words, if another kinda fun comic role came along, it was three months of your life, it’s not Hangover 5, but something of a similar spirit.”

Cooper replied: “Well, I would do Hangover 5. It would be (Hangover) 4 first, but yeah.”

The 48-year-old actor insists he would reprise the role “not just to pay the bills”, adding: “I would do probably Hangover 4 in an instant, yeah, just because I love (director) Todd (Phillips), I love Zach (Galifianakis), I love Ed (Helms) so much. I probably would, yeah.”

However, he doubts another flick in the comedy franchise would happen.

He said: “I don’t think Todd’s ever going to do that.”

The first film follows a group of men on a bachelor party in Las Vegas who end up losing the groom. The franchise went on to spawn two sequels in 2011 and 2013, respectively.

Cooper went on to insist that he had lots of “fun” making his musical autobiographical drama Maestro and 2018’s romantic drama A Star Is Born.

He told the host: “You said the word ‘fun’. There’s nothing more fun that I’ve ever experienced than Maestro and A Star Is Born. This is me having fun.”
