Hold on! Hooooooold on, okay! Just...just don't freak out yet! There's a reasonable explanation for this one.

Casting one of Hollywood's hunkiest A-listers in the role of The American Dream may not seem like the most sensible idea on paper, but Bradley Cooper has been steadily expanding his character repertoire over the last few years, branching out into some unique territory. Playing an overweight wrestler with a lisp might just be the type of challenge he's looking for.

Besides, he's proven he can play the combination of badass (The A-Team, American Sniper) and affable goofball (Wet Hot American Summer, The Hangover) that propelled Dusty to the top. Cooper might need to work on his gab a little if he wants to step into The Dream's polka-dotted boots, but with a little practice he'd make, at the very least, an unexpected choice who would likely do an incredible job.
