Cardboard Cutout Accounts

This Bradley Cooper Instagram Features a Lifesized Version of the Actor

— June 27, 2014 — Pop Culture
A mother created a Bradley Cooper Instagram account to document life with a cardboard cutout. My Life with Bradley Cooper points out that many people imagine what it would be like to be married to a celebrity, which is what this Instagram represents. Danielle is a mother of two who is married to a man named Ed.

While she maintains no real actors were harmed in the making of this Bradley Cooper Instagram account, the tuxedo-clad celeb can be seen helping out around the house with baking, ironing and lawn mowing. The lifesized cutout also makes appearances in public, going to the store and riding a carousel. The best part is the tension between Brad and Ed when they appear together, both vying for Danielle's heart.

It would appear Bradley Cooper does not know about this account quite yet.
