Up until about March of this year, Bradley Cooper had been in a long-term relationship with 23-year-old model Suki Waterhouse, who I promise is a real person and not a name I just made up. They broke up though, and Page Six reports that just last night Cooper was seen on a date with another model, Irini Shayk, who you might know as Cristiano Ronaldo's ridiculously good-looking ex-girlfriend. That's two models in two months—one model per month—which is a high frequency approaching Leonardo DiCaprio levels.

Now, Cooper's not there yet—so far he hasn't left a club with upwards of 20 models—but this Suki Waterhouse into Irina Shayk parlay at least suggests potential. And though Cooper has a tendency to date people for an extended amount of time ("What's dating?" DiCaprio asks), he's nonetheless building an impressive resume which now includes the two aforementioned models, Zoe Saldana, and Jennifer Lopez. If he keeps his eye on the prize—which in this case is the neverending quest to fill the hole in one's soul with beautiful women—and moves past this Suki Waterhouse relationship with the goal to stay single and mingle, Bradley Cooper could indeed become Leonardo DiCaprio 2.0. 

All that being said, he still has a long ways to go, as seen in this rudimentary chart I drew:

1.

Also, there's a high possibility that Leonardo DiCaprio will never slow his game down, in which case there will be no need for a next-generation version of him. But just how dope would it be if Cooper started slaying models under the self-given moniker, "The American Sniper?"

Just something to keep an eye on, guys.
