Cooper denies Armstrong biopic

It was reported that director J.J. Abrams formally approached the 38-year-old to star in a biopic on cyclist Armstrong’s rise and fall from grace.

However, Cooper strongly refuted the claims on Sunday night during Screen Actors Guild Awards, reports contactmusic.com.

“No... Oh my God, that’s so nuts. I was in Manchester, doing the BBC morning show... I had no idea what (the interviewer) was talking about. I didn’t even know that J.J. has the rights, I had no idea,” he told accesshollywood.com.
