Stretching his acting muscles!
He's reportedly packed on 40 pounds for his role in Clint Eastwood's latest directorial effort American Sniper.
And Bradley Cooper's newly buff physique could barely be contained as it bulged out of his fitted T-shirt.
The
burly 39-year-old was almost unrecognizable as he flaunted his
impressive torso leaving the Tom Ford store in Beverly Hills on
Thursday.

Bradley's
muscular biceps and pronounced pecs were slightly obscured by his navy
blue top which he teamed with army green cargo pants and a pair of black
sneakers.
He further disguised himself with a baseball cap, dark sunglasses and a scruffy beard.
The
normally clean-cut and slimmer star juggled a jacket and multiple cell
phones in one hand while carrying a black duffel bag in the other.
At one point Cooper's stretched out top struggled to stay in place and rose up to expose the waistband of his underwear.

Transformation: The actor's buffed out look is a stark contrast to his normally leaner frame
Cooper's
been working out for the upcoming real-life drama American Sniper, in
which he plays the late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who had more than 160
confirmed kills during his four tours in Iraq.
In an interview with E!Online, Bradley's co-star in the movie Eric Close revealed just how hard the Oscar nominated actor has been working.
'He
put on like 40 pounds,' said Close, who co-stars as Defense
Intelligence Agency agent in the film based on Kyle's New York Times
bestsellling autobiography of the same name.

Busting out: The Oscar nominated star wore a navy blue T-shirt, green cargo pants and black sneakers
'He's really been working hard. He looks great. He's really taken on this character…He really takes this story personally and wants to do an honorable job for Chris' memory and for his family.'
After
being honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy in 2009, Kyle was shot to
death at a Texas gun range on Feb. 2, 2013, at age 39.
American Sniper - which also stars Siena Miller and Luke Grimes - is currently shooting and set to hit theaters in 2015.
Getting into character: Bradley looked every bit the part of a member of the military as he left the luxury store
Shirtless scene: Cooper previously got extra toned to flaunt washboard abs for his role in the 2010 film The A-Team
