Is Bradley Cooper Dating French Actress Melanie Laurent?

Indigo/Getty ImagesDominique Charriau/WireImageAfter Jennifer Lopez spurned his advances for a much-younger man, Bradley "Not Sexiest Man Alive" Cooper appears to be licking his wounds in the arms of a charming new woman: French actress Melanie Laurent. The actor was photographed strolling with Laurent (screen credits: "Inglorious Basterds," "Beginners") in Paris earlier this week, the New York Daily News reports. Among their date-y activities: lunch at the restaurant Ralph's on Boulevard St. Germain; a performance of "Job, Ou L'Errance De Juste" at La Comedie de Champs Elysees; dinner at Cooper's hotel, after which they presumably ... played charades? A source tells People.com that the two are just friends. Friends who both, conveniently, speak French. (Cooper's surprising fluency is probably why he edged out Ryan Gosling as "Sexiest Man." At least that's our theory.)
