Bradley Cooper 'Beets' a Joke to Death

Posted Jun 5th 2009 11:41AM by TMZ Staff

With "The Hangover" coming out this weekend, the dudes from the flick keep getting asked the same question about the cure for overconsumption -- but they're all using the same stock answer: Roasted beets.

Bradley Cooper: Click to watch
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zac Galifinakis have all been asked for a hangover cure here, here, here and in the video above -- but they're losing some serious style points because they keep dropping the exact same answer.

But does anyone know if beets really help though? Seriously, it's the weekend, we gotta know.

Q&A With "Hangover" Star Zach Galifianakis
By Sarah Ball

Stop me if you've heard this one: a guy walks up to a poster for The Hangover, takes one look and says, "Who the hell is that guy?"

The answer is Zach Galifianakis, an absurdist, piano-playing stand-up comedian (and one of the "Comedians of Comedy") who looks kinda like the Brawny paper-towel guy. With five pending 2009 releases, Galifianakis is about to have a breakout year in film, and he starts by playing third fiddle in The Hangover to two better-known stars, Ed Helms of The Office and Bradley Cooper, of Wedding Crashers fame. But for a comparative newbie, he steals the show as a zany, socially inept groomsman who's utterly unaware of his third-wheel status. So successful is his shtik—and, by the same token, the movie's laugh factor—that Warner Brothers has already greenlighted a sequel. Ahead of The Hangover's June 5 release, NEWSWEEK talked to Galifianakis about roasted beets, his affinity for jockstraps and why men don't wear white jeans anymore. Excerpts:

What about a foolproof hangover cure?
Roasted beets. If you eat them before you go out, you wake up fine. I discovered it by accident. I wanted to learn how to make roasted beets, and when I did, I was so overcome with giddiness that I wanted to celebrate. So I drank way too much, but I had no hangover whatsoever the next morning.

17. As far as the beets thing goes, it is totally true. Not only beets, but artichoke and saparilla.
So before you go out there, adorable blond kid, but know your facts!

18. Take two one a day vitamin tablets before you go to sleep/pass out. Totally works.

20. Obviously 'NotAmused' has never had a hangover. You don't have to be falling down drunk to feel like crap the next day. Loosen up....you need to get laid.
