"FacebookPinterest\n\nNo, American Hustle star and GQ cover man Bradley Cooper did not go commando at last week's State Dinner because he mistakenly thought he was at the Bill Clinton White House. Turns out the actor had to shed his skivvies for the simple reason that his tux was too tight. That's right, as Cooper told Ellen DeGeneres yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, after gaining fifteen pounds for an upcoming role, he'd neglected to check the fit of his tux before heading off to D.C. and the big White House shindig.\n\n\"I wore the tudo I wore to the Golden Globes. I just sort of threw it in the bag and brought it and went to Washington, D.C.,\" Cooper told DeGeneres. He realized he was in trouble only ten minutes before the dinner when he was finally getting dressed and the pants didn't fit. \"So I had to go commando, number one, cause there was no room at all...and you have to walk up the stairs and it was a nightmare. But I made it through.\" Apparently stairs weren't the only issue. When getting up to shake hands with the president and other dignitaries, Cooper explained that he had to carefully twist his body so as not to rip the seams of his trousers. Guess those movement classes back in Cooper's Actors Studio days paid off since no heads of state were forced to bear witness to his junk. Probably not the situation you immediately think of when someone has to go commando in order to stave off an international crisis, but well played Mr. Cooper. And just in case you're thinking of wearing underwear next time you're at the White House, not to worry, we have you covered (both literally and figuratively).\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
