Hold the door, Bradley
Bradley Cooper, who used to work as a doorman at the Morgan Hotel in New York before he hit the big time, says he prefers the tips he used to receive back then than the compliments he gets now. “I was a doorman for five months and the tips we got then were such a big deal,” he said. “In a way they meant more than any award or review now. I think twice I got a $20 tip and that was like, ‘Wow!’ I have never forgotten it.”
But my, how the tables have turned. While the 35-year-old actor was more than happy to receive cash tips back in the day, he says he avoids the custom whenever he can. “Now though I always carry my own bags because I don’t want to tip!”
The
Hangover star has previously spoken about his part-time job while he studied at New York University and revealed he spent the majority of the time lighting candles. “There were three candles in the lobby and they said, ‘Always keep them lit,’” he revealed. “But the door would open and they would go out so I spent most of my time trying to relight the candles.”
