What “Hangover” hunk BRADLEY COOPER doesn’t want YOU to know about his secret torment!

“Hangover” hunk Bradley Cooper drives women wild – but deep down he’s an insecure loner who wrestled with booze-and-drug addiction, “loves” therapy and needed extensive plastic surgery to save his handsome face. He also lives in fear of cancer because the disease killed his beloved dad.

That terrifying incident landed Coop in the hospital. Desperate and frightened by his out-of-control addictions, he finally realized he had to clean up his act “or he was really going to ruin his life.”

Now, he says: “I don’t drink or do drugs at all anymore.” To help stay on the straight and narrow, he tried therapy – and got hooked on it.

“Oh, god, I love therapy,” he admits. “I thought it was fantastic.”

But the star still wrestles with his fears, and one of his biggest is cancer, say sources.

It claimed the life of his stockbroker dad Charles last year at age 71.

“He’s scared to death of dying young,” divulged the source. “But before his dad passed away,

Bradley made one of the old man’s dreams come true. He landed his dad a cameo role in “The A-Team” movie.

Said the source: “Bradley loved that he could give his father one last gift.”
