Even surprising the actor himself, IESB got Bradley Cooper to admit that he is in talks to play Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck in the coming film version of The A-Team.

This was done by the site’s reporter who asked the actor if he was excited about playing the role (was a rumor at the time). Cooper was surprised, saying: “That’s out already!? Wow. Yeah…its Joe Carnahan’s. It’s very interesting. It’ll be cool. It will be cool [to] see what…He’ll make a great movie out of it.”

The original Faceman was played by Dirk Benedict. Joe Carnahan is directing the new take on the classic ‘80s television series. It is slated to hit theaters next summer.
