18/12/2012 The One Show

Hello. Welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. When

tonight's guest was a budding actor he called Robert De Niro his idol.

Now he's such a success in his own right, that he now just calls him

Bob. Please welcome a film star voted sexiest man alive, even with

a hangover. It's Bradley Cooper. Thank you so much for stopping off!

We are your first port of call. Nice of you to pop in. You really

did it up for Christmas. It is very comfy. It is a good time to be a

Bradley in this country at the moment because of Bradley Wiggins.

Congratulations. He won the Tour de France. Amazing. He also won Sports

Personality of the Year on Sunday. Was it a good night? Fantastic.

you have a hangover? World... have just handed over your title of

60s man alive to Channing Tatum. How did he get it? Will take a look.

The real question is how did I get it? I guess it takes the pressure

off. Year. The pressure is off! LAUGHTER. You can eat what you like

over Christmas without having to worry. Maybe I should have worried

a little bit more! We will be talking about your new film Silver

Linings Playbook. One of Bradley's huge film hits has been the

Hangover franchise. Did you overdo it at the Christmas party last

night? If you did, send us a picture of you nursing your

hangover. Also, we need a best man to get in touch, the film is about

stag do's. Bradley will arrange a stag do it live on the show

tonight! I am very excited! But before all that, Tony Livesey

has been finding out about a type of theft that only gets reported

10% of the time because the victims are too embarassed to talk about it.

No matter how busy our lives are, most of us have to get the weekly

shopping and it is usually quite a painless experience. Apart from the

woman that follows me around. My item is in the backing every year!

Stop going on about it! -- bag every year. Excuse me, I am trying

to find the Trafford Centre. Can you show me where I am now? Over

here. He seems like a nice bloke. Hang on! Where is my laptop? I

can't believe it! I have been a victim of destruction theft, or a

demonstration of this crime by Richard Taylor. They call it the

art of distraction. There is a slight act to it because you have

to work to distract people because it takes literally seconds to be

able to steal from somebody's vehicle. A why is a car-park

perfect? They are distracted already. Especially this time of

year. How easy is it? The One Show decided to put it to the test with

some expert help from Richard and done the watchful eye of a police

officer. Instead of stealing from them, we will place a Christmas

present in their car. We will let you know how the test went later.

It is not just in public places that people use distraction to

steal. They target our homes. Distraction burglary is any crime

where Patrick or distraction or falsehood is used to gain access to

our homes to commit burglary. Police believe the real figure is

much higher than reported. Seven months ago, a man came to this

house posing as a police officer. He said that he was sorry to

trouble me but that they had apprehended two youngsters and they

had been seen coming out of my garden gate. I said, look, my purse

is on the table, it hasn't been mute. He asked if I had any more

money in the house. I said yes. I have got some at the side of me.

How much was it? �700. Jean had the cash to pay some work on her house.

The man-made has feel uncomfortable but she asked him to leave -- the

man had made her feel uncomfortable. But not before he had stolen her

money. That man came to my home with the deliberate intention of

robbing me. I cannot trust anybody any more. I am he also to see the

head of Operation bomb a team of detectives that specialise in

crimes across the country that involved distraction burglary --

Operation Bombay. Many people are too embarrassed to report this

crime. These red dots represent 20 distraction burglaries. Mary Kom

has claimed to be a social worker there to help the victims. That was

clearly working with somebody else. Mary was linked to all 20 offences,

William was linked to four of them. This is not a hobby, this is a

procession. This is serious organised crime. And it was CCTV

footage from different locations that gave them away. Let's look at

them in action. You can see that black vehicle, that is the car they

were using. A so you can place them there. They stole over �20,000 from

the victims before they were caught by police. There you have the link

between the two different offences. One of the victims was over 100

years old. She had worked all her life. Meanwhile, back at the

supermarket, we have had an interesting day. The shoppers at

Manchester are a canny bunch. Some spotted us. And others locked their

car doors. You the first would today that has locked her car door.

But for every failed attempt, there was a success. Where are we on this

map, please? Can you show me? just shows how easy it is to

distract somebody and steal something! That is the message.

Remember this Christmas, keep your wits about you, because that is

when thieves do their shopping, too. Charming! I don't think he will be

doing many more films for us. The gumption of some people. It is

ridiculous. What was the last thing you had stolen? I bought this

little house in California and the second week I was there I went to

get something to eat with my friend and somebody had stall and

everything in that short time. It must have been an inside job --

somebody had stolen everything. My dogs were fine. But if they had

done something creepy, like put the fire on and left a half-eaten

sandwich in the fridge, I would have moved. But I am still there.

They just took everything. It is a horrible feeling. They prey on

people's goodwill. Especially with the distraction. Your film, Silver

Linings Playbook, is on nationally at cinemas and you have described

it as one of the most emotional films you have worked on. Why is

that? Basically, because it is that David Russell movie and all he

cares about its authenticity, and it is about these people, they are

not quite matters... But you recognise yourself in them. I play

a man who was recently diagnosed as bipolar and never knew it his whole

life and he is desperately trying to get his life back together and

he is living at home with his father and mother and then he meets

this woman, Jennifer Lawrence, who is grieving the loss of her husband

and it is about how these people come together. It is a heartfelt

movie with a lot of comedy. Why was it so tough? Because of the

directors. You cannot say anything. It is emotionally demanding. I was

terrified to be honest to play this guy because his emotions were on

the surface. He has no filter. You have to go from A to Z. Also you

are working with people like Robert de Niro and Jennifer Lawrence and

Jacki Weaver. It was intense. We shot it in 33 days. When I came

back from the cinema, that is how I described it. Intense. But it is

At I just want us to be friends! Don't let Tiffany get you in

trouble. Why would you say that? can only do my dance thing if I

have a partner. I am not going to dance with you. Is this the girl

you wrote about? You wrote about me? You have to pay attention. When

life reaches out at a moment like this, it is based in if you don't

reach back, I'm telling you! -- it is as sin. I understand that some

of the scenes were so intense that you had to ditch them! We did not

ditch the scenes, but we just got rid of what I did. My character

comes back from a football game and you really messed up and got into a

fight and my father thinks the reason why the team lost was

because of this fight so he is screaming at me, but when we went

into it, I mean, it is very real, so I started crying right away, but

it was really awful, like at tackling sounding cry! When we were

editing the movie, it is so distracting! We actually had to

take out all of this sound! But if you watch the movie, you can hear

little moments of screams that we could not take out! Through all

this intensity, it is always in the comedy category is of any awards.

Yes. That is the tricky thing. We knew that when we were shooting it.

The music shifts quite a bit, like life. Any dramatic moment I have

been a part of has been comedic as well. The main thing I would say it

is it is hard and with heart comes drama and comedy. It is the second

film you have done with Robert De Niro. What is it like? Do you go

down to Bob's house? He is the greatest guy. For someone who has

been in the business for 40 years and done hundreds of movies, he is

just so normal. I can't believe that he is my friend but he is. He

was a big reason why I got this movie. He really champion to me.

And you didn't let him down. I hope not. We saw you in the trailer

doing a funny dance. The funny little dance! I wasn't a

leprechaun! When they came to you and said, there is some dancing in

this, or were you up for it? I was very excited because I do love to

dance. As an actor, or whenever you can do something physical, it takes

you out of your head. It is wonderful. So for dancing it was

great. It was also a great way to get to know Jennifer because we had

not met before. It is quite a complicated dance. It is a very

bipolar dance routine that shifts with music. Like a leprechaun! You

nailed it! I loved it. I ate it up. Lots of different genres of dance.

Stevie Wonder and Jack White, yeah. Do you think you will do more heavy

roles like this? You have obviously had an appetite for it? It is all

about the director, that is all I care about. You put a lot of trust

in them. You have to. They are the captain of the ship. You said it.

The main thing you want to do is think about the full make-up.

we are. Right. Now how many of you are holding onto a secret, itching

to tell the world, if only you could still keep it secret? If that

sounds like you, Phil Tufnell has just the thing.

A secret, not known to us Maxime or not meant to be known by others. A

secret. And if you want to get something of your chest, meet the

My name is Frank and I collect secrets. In eight years, over

500,000 people from around the world have written down their

deepest confessions on postcards and mailed them to my home.

secrets Frank's collected are online. Frank, explain the concept

and how did it start? I printed up 3,000 self-addressed postcards and

handed them out to strangers, inviting them to write down a

secret and mail it to me anonymously from all around the

world. Have you got some examples? I do. This was handed to me if

Bristol not long ago. It says, "Being fat is my disguise." This is

one that has three Rush stickers and it says "You called me an idiot.

I guess you're right. I sent your bags to the wrong destination." So,

it pays to be kind to people who are helping you out like that.

That's for sure. Even vegetarians think of meat from time to time. I

received a postcard with the Twin Towers in New York City and the

secret was, "Everyone who knew me before 9/11 believes I'm dead."

you worry about the senders? If we have good news we tell our friends

or e-mail it, but the secrets can be dark. Going through the process,

the rich of putting a secret on a postcard and unburdening people,

that's my hope. With thousands around the world giving their

innermost secrets to Frank, it's inspired me to get a tiny amount of

the great British public to do the same. This should be fun. Our One

Show box is independent of Frank's work and all responses are

anonymous. Tell me a secret. Would you like to tell me a secret in our

room over there? Into the One Show booth. It's aun anonymous. -- it's

all anonymous. She'll be in there an hour! Hello. How are you? How

did that feel? All right. I hope no-one finds out. Of course not.

How long have you been keeping that secret in? A couple of years.

the many secrets we collected, here's a few we can share. "I once

pushed my sister down the stairs and blamed it on the dog." Then, "I

once told my friends I met Prince William and he asked me out. I kept

it going for three months and said I was seeing him secretly." Then,

"I've got no-one to talk to about the way I feel." All this opening

up can be infectious. We all have secrets. "Dear birth mother. I've

found love and I'm happy." Some of these secrets are almost like the

confessions of a journey through troubled times. If you can share

those secrets I think it cannot only help you, but help bring hope

to others too. This one said, "When I was young I believed the Queen of

England installed cameras in my bathroom and watched me on the

toilet, so I always smiled, sat up straight and folded the paper

neatly." Great. I can't believe people trusted Phil. I've got a

very trusting face. With the cameras too. There are so many

coincidences when we get our guests on, but you know Frank? Yeah, I

came across his show on Ted. Fascinating and how it started so

small. Millions now. Phil, we have to mention the England cricket team.

Wrapped up yesterday? First one for loung? 1984. Fantastic effort --

for who loung? 1984. With -- for how long? 1984. It's great to come

back with a series win. Alastair Cook, the captain broke all the

records down there, so fn it's tick effort. Are you into cricket,

Bradley? -- so fantastic effort. Are you into cricket, Bradley?

loved it as a kid, but as an American you have to find the right

group of people to get into cricket. I loved it. Absolutely loved. It I

played it for one summer when I was 13. It goes on for a week, five

days. One game, that's a long time. How you're putting it down! Phil

used to play cricket. I know. Listen to what he did. Tell your

secret Phil. Announce to the nation. I put Deep Heat in Sir Ian Botham's

jock strap before he went out to bowl once for England. He bowled

very fast that morning. Did he do well? Then he ran off at lunchtime

and was anything everyone who put it in. Is that still a secret?

it's not any more! He's going to give me a smack. That's hardcore.

How did you feel, Phil, when people in the film, as we saw, some

secrets were pretty dark, how did you feel when they were confiding

in you? It was like a confession. Some of those secrets when they

came out, I asked them how long they had been holding on it it and

some said 25 years. They wrote it down. They sort of came out a

little bit sort of lifted. As though they've got something off

your chest. It was interesting. They said, "I really enjoyed that

and feel better." Do you find people tell you a lot of their

secrets? I do. I am the secret carrier. People do. I think it's

human nature. They do tell their stories and their secrets. That's

why most - at least in the States most police find out things by

people confessing more than anything else. Has Bob ever told

you any? No. Have you got anything you would like to get off your

chest? I'm so glad you asked me that!! In the Hangover, your

character and the boys are bad at keeping a secret. Here's the moment

where it comes down to secrets from the bride. Tracey, it's Stu. Don't

listen to Phil he's completely out of his mind. He's probably still

drunk. Where's Doug? He's paying the bifplt we are in a -- paying

the bill. We're in a big hurry to get back. How did you keep that

look going of being hungover for the whole length you were filming?

Were you actually hungover? there is no way we would have made

that schedule. There was a lot of memory. I don't know how we did it.

You have just finished the third one? Two days ago. It's all very

hush-hush and all the rest of it. On the first one, you had a baby in

a sling and the second one, a monkey on your back. What will be

on the third poster? Can you hint? You know, we are sworn to secrecy.

Bradley?! They are serious about it. There could be a red dot somewhere.

You are hungover in it? I can't even say that. We shot it in Las

Vegas. We go back there. We shot it in Mexico and in LA. I can say that.

And Mr Chow's back, for anyone's who's a fan. We loved him. Very

kindly you agreed to arrange a stag do and we have been inundated with

people. We have chosen these two here. This is double trouble, two

ginger brothers, Phil and Tom are getting married to their

girlfriends next year. Both are each other's best man, so it's a

double stag do. Phil, you have got the Hangover generator just there.

If you put it between yourself and Bradley. You have got to pick one

from each category. Then we put them at the end. The first one, the

groom will get a tattoo. The first one, "I'm better looking at Chang

Tatum.". Or number two there or number three? I think we go with

number two. Now costumes. First, is it mankinis, Hobbits, figure feet

included, or reindeer with antlers? This is a tough one. I think

because it's a topical one, we'll go with the Hobbit. Combine all

three, quite an outfit! You don't want to take them apart! The third

one is things that can go wrong. First, your mum tags along and gets

on with wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Second I, you catch the norovirus.

Or third, one of you forgets your passport and you end up going to

Staines rather than Las Vegas. think this is a recipe for a bit of

fun. Finally, we are on to the activities. You end up in a three-

hour recording of Dancing on Ice. That is an ice version of Dancing

with Stars. You all undergo a full body wax. At the end of the night

you bump into Bradley Wiggins who insists you all cycle ten miles

home? This would be good for the hangover. I say that. Very sensible.

There, we are Tom and Phil, is your stag do. Any responsibility for

what happens and we are not paying for it. Now, then it's a lot easier

to turn your film into a block bus fer if you hire stars like Bradley

Cooper. But how do you make a book a best seller? Here is Arthur Smith

with the answer. They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover,

but really you do. It might be the use of colour. Or a fearful

background. Or an intriguing looking figure. Powerful words or

images. Author recommendations, just what is it that makes that

book jump out at you? Graphic artist and book designer John Grey

faces these challenges every day. There are a lot of cliches, so with

a thriller you'll get a lone figure in a landscape, so you're basically

showing the reader the landscape, it's set in snow and it's set in

Venice and then this lop figure who is either kind of struggling --

lone figure who is either kind of struggling against himself or the

elements. You want to leave that character as open to the readers'

interpretation as possible. What you are aiming for is not really to

impress anyone with the art, but to make people buy the book? Exactly.

You are designing the front door to the book inside. My job is to just

make an object that people want to pick up and take home. There are a

lot of colourful jackets. Like the JK Rowling is colourful and bold.

It will stand out against a sea of other colours because it's so bold.

Sometimes it's the big author so we need the Thame -- name to be huge.

Names sell, but sometimes it's a famous author's name that sells

someone else's book. You are looking for a become by best-

selling author John grish ham, but your eye is -- Grisham, but your

eye is Brawn to the new one by Arthur Smith. Quotes by other

authors work well. If another crime writer thinks this one is great,

quite often the quote will go on the cover. Strap lines, he then to

guide you. Originally, book covers were just words and very simple

designs. I think certain design trends come and go with development

in production and printing tech feebgz. Back in the 30s and 40s, --

techniques. Back in the 30s and 40s, that is what was affordable, but

then full-colour imagary was able to be used later. As you get more

and more photographs, then someone wants to do the opposite and then

there is new illustration. That Clockwork Orange is there with the

boldness and colour and block graphic and it looks fresh again.

Maybe we evoking the bold graphics and colours. Some of the cores are

like that now. Some designs are crazy. They are looking for

something different and new avenue to take. We have just done a cover

looking for something fresh and it's just colour. No title and no

author on the front. Just to see how that would look and I think in

a shop it looks really brave and stands out. If it was my book I

would frankly be a little upset if it didn't have my name or the title

on it. The proof must be in the pudding. If it sold really well you

would be happy. That's true. Will the E book mean that there are no

physical book covers? No. Books will always be around and book

covers will always be around. You have movies and they are different

media. People thought in the 50s and 60s that TV would kill the book

and it didn't. No, it didn't. Earlier on we asked you for your

hangover pictures, or pictures of you nursing them. Look at this.
