 Producers said Thursday that the "Silver Linings Playbook" and "American Hustle" actor (and former “Sexiest Man Alive”) will star in "The Elephant Man.” It's about a disfigured man in Victorian London whose own inner goodness forces people to reevaluate their notions of beauty.

It will be directed Scott Ellis and co-star Patricia Clarkson and Alessandro Nivola.

Cooper, 39, previously appeared on Broadway in 2006 in "Three Days of Rain," alongside Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd.
