Is he keeping up with a resolution? PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive Bradley Cooper is starting off 2012 at the gym. The actor was working up a sweat at an Equinox in Westwood, Calif., and Cooper sported a black beanie, hoodie and jacket. He did his best to stay under the radar as he worked on his abs in the communal stretching area, according to a fellow gym-goer. The actor also managed to squeeze in a little time on his cell phone and seemed very deep in conversation for a good portion of his time at the gym. – Vanessa Diaz

Ooh la la!
Bradley Cooper was spotted out on the streets of Paris with stunning French actress Melanie Laurent on Monday night.
But perhaps the fluent French-speaking actor – and PEOPLE's reigning Sexiest Man Alive – was just working on his language skills.
Though they looked cozy after attending a short play together, the pair are simply friends, a source tells PEOPLE.
Cooper and Laurent, who had roles in Inglourious Basterds and the more recent Beginners, were bundled up and looked deep in conversation at times.

Everything sounds better in French – especially when it's Bradley Cooper talking.
Aside from being easy on the eyes, PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive is fluent in French. We put the actor's language skills to the test and he demonstrated how to ask for directions, order breakfast and invite someone out for dinner.
While Cooper calls himself a "single 36-year-old male," it's safe to assume that when he asks a woman on a dinner date, the answer must be "Oui!"

Bradley Cooper Is PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive!
Originally posted 11/16/2011 08:00AM
Sure, he's easy on the eyes, but there's more to 2011's Sexiest Man Alive Bradley Cooper than dazzling baby blues and a killer smile.
Ladies, take note: this Georgetown grad can whip up dinner, take you for a spin on his motorcycle and whisper sweet nothings in French (he's fluent!). Just don't try convincing him what a catch he is.
"I think it's really cool that a guy who doesn't look like a model can have this [title]," says the Hangover actor, 36. "I think I'm a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying."
Another reason to love him? Cooper, whose father Charles passed away in January, is especially close with his mom, Gloria. When he learned he'd been crowned Sexiest Man Alive, the "first thing I thought," he says, "was, 'My mother is going to be so happy.' "
