Bradley Cooper

Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper have starred in several movies together, advancing their careers with a series of successful collaborations.

[Silver Linings Playbook](https://screenrant.com/tag/the-silver-linings-playbook/) was the first on-screen collaboration between Lawrence and Cooper, and despite their many successes since then, it remains their best. Both Lawrence and Cooper earned Academy Award nominations for their excellent performances in the movie, with Lawrence even securing a victory in the Best Actress category. More than just a romance, [Silver Linings Playbook is about mental health](https://screenrant.com/netflix-movies-storylines-about-mental-health/), personal struggles, and the methods by which human compassion can lighten the load. [American Hustle](http://screenrant.com/tag/american-hustle), which tells the story of two con artists who find themselves recruited by the FBI to help catch a selection of corrupt politicians. [Joy](http://screenrant.com/tag/joy), an entertaining drama about Joy Mangano, the self-made millionaire responsible for creating the miracle mop and developing a business empire. [Box Office Mojo](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt2446980/)), which was underwhelming for such a large-budget studio movie. [most successful actors of the 2010s](https://screenrant.com/most-successful-actor-each-year-2010s/) - but together, their talents really began to shine, and they’ve developed a close off-screen friendship. The film made $250 million across the world (via [Box Office Mojo](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1867286017/)), which is an impressive total for a movie that’s not based on any existing franchise. It doesn’t even come close to [Jennifer Lawrence’s best movies](https://screenrant.com/jennifer-lawrences-best-movies-ranked-by-letterboxd/) - and her lead performance is somewhat overlooked by a heavily criticized screenplay. Cooper has been just as successful over the years, starting out in comedies like [The Hangover](https://screenrant.com/tag/the-hangover) and recently beginning his lucrative career as a director. [Serena](https://screenrant.com/tag/serena/), with its entertaining performances and competent direction, but it’s undoubtedly their weakest project to date. They continued to capture something genuinely impressive in the heart of a maligned film, and thankfully the film’s struggles didn’t deter them from working together in the future.
