Bradley Cooper’s much buzzed-about role in Nightmare Alley turned out to be a nightmare to shoot.

The eight-time Academy Award-nominated heartthrob revealed that in order to film the short nude scene in the new Guillermo del Toro-directed psychological thriller, he was required to be in the buff in front of the crew for six whole hours.
