His latest transformation, as it turns out, is for a movie role. Cooper has packed on the pounds (and muscle!) and grown out his facial hair for his upcoming role in American Sniper, a true story based on the life and career of a late Navy SEAL. According to one of his costars, Cooper has gained close to 40 pounds for his role.
