Georgia police are on the hunt for a “Bradley Cooper lookalike” after the celebrity doppelgänger was caught on camera shoplifting from a Home Depot.

In a Friday report, CNN anchor Dana Bash said the suspect looks like the “spitting image of Bradley Cooper” and showed images of him originally posted by the Henry County Police Department on Facebook.

The man in the images does hold a strong resemblance to Cooper, albeit being a little heavier set. The suspect can be seen in the photos wheeling an item out the door in the open. He is wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. Cooper is known for his role in the Hangover trilogy and other hit films like the Clint Eastwood-directed American Sniper and A Star Is Born, a film he also directed himself and Lady Gaga in. Cooper has been nominated for nine Academy Awards for his producing and acting work.

In the original post from the police, they revealed that last month the unidentified suspect stole a Bosch Rotary Laser Kit, something Cooper can more than likely afford to drop some cash on, considering the successful filmmaking career and all. The item can cost anywhere from approximately $300 to $600, according to Home Depot’s website.

The post’s comments section is full of users pointing out the physical similarities between the Home Depot thief and the Oscar-nominated Cooper.

Plenty on Twitter made the connection too.

This Georgia man is not the first criminal to go viral thanks to a celebrity resemblance. Cops in England arrested a shoplifter in 2018 whose image on a security camera has social media ablaze with comparisons between the thief and Friends star David Schwimmer.

According to CNN’s report , the actual Cooper has still given no word on Georgia’s lookalike thief.
