Bradley overcame his alcohol battle and realized he didn’t need to drink to be liked: “I was doing these movies, and I got to meet Sandra Bullock [his co-star in 2009’s All About Steve] and meet these people and work with them,” he stated. “And I’m sober, and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m actually myself. And I don’t have to put on this air to be somebody else, and this person still wants to work with me? Oh, what the f–k is that about?’ I was rediscovering myself in this workplace, and it was wonderful.”
