Bradley Cooper
Alongside the likes of Chris Pratt and Mark Walhberg, Bradley Cooper has been at the top of many people’s ‘who should play Nathan Drake?’ lists, and it’s easy to see why. First things first, they look scarily similar. Cooper’s hair color, jawline, and his general facial features look just like Drake’s, but he would bring more than just his looks to the role.
Not only is he a three-time Academy Award nominated actor, but he brings the A-list celebrity status to the role that Sony would inevitably be looking for. Nolan North (Drake himself) said, “the business of Hollywood dictates that you need a big name on the billboard,” when talking about who he sees playing the role and who he expects the producers to target. Cooper may not be used to playing characters like Drake, but his acting ability, looks, and status make him perfect for the role in more than just the eyes of the fans.
