In a recent interview with Hollyscoop actor Bradley Cooper, who co-stars along Jennifer Lawrence in next month’s Silver Linings Playbook, talked about getting to know The Hunger Games star.

“I saw [Jennifer in] The Beaver and X-Men: First Class, and that’s it. But then I talk to her on the phone, as she was already cast, and we got along great on the phone,” said Bradley. “I thought, wow this woman is… there’s something really interesting [about her].”

Cooper joked that they were ‘forced’ to get along as Day 1 of filming included a dance routine, “The first day I met her on the set we were learning how to dance, we do a dance, a choreographed dance routine in the movie and so we got to know each other really fast,” says Bradley.

The pair will also be seen together in the film Serena, which currently has no release date.
