In 2008, Louis C.K. told British actor and radio personality Stephen Merchant in 2008 a hilarious point about the interview show Inside The Actors Studio.

“You know when an actor stands up and says, ‘I’m an actor, what can I do,’ and he asks Sean Penn, ‘What can I do to reach your level?’ You just want to say, that’s it you never will be famous. There’s no way you ask Sean Penn a question and then, you’re gonna be huge.”

Stephen and Louis laughed, but GAabriel Antunes found a clip of Bradley Cooper before he was famous asking none other than Sean Penn a question on Inside The Actors Studio. Bradley Cooper, the now hugely successful actor.

Boom.
