Bradley Cooper has begun talks to play Lance Armstrong.
The Oscar nominated Silver Linings Playbook star - who previously expressed his desire to portray the "fascinating" disgraced cyclist after he was stripped of his titles between 1999 and 2005 when it emerged he had taken performance-enhancing drugs - has formally approached J.J. Abrams about starring in his upcoming biopic about Lance's rise and fall from grace.
J.J. confirmed that he is considering the 38-year-old star for the role after he reached out to him via email.
He told Entertainment Tonight at the Producer's Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday, "[Cooper] sent me an email and we've been talking."

Lance Armstrong Denies Ashley Olsen Romance
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
Despite the reported sightings and Hollywood gossip, Lance Armstrong says there is no romance between him and Ashley Olsen, one-half of the famed Olsen twins.
Paparazzi have spotted the pair out and about many times, but Armstrong says this is just a May-December friendship, not a romance. Armstrong is 15 years Olsen’s senior, and says that while they have “hung out,” it was as part of a group. The rumor mill has recently reported that Olsen and Armstrong were seen together at a bar, and Ashley was on his lap. Now, that’s pretty friendly. Another report said the pair was making out.
