Like his co-star Jonah Hill, Bradley Cooper is out promoting the upcoming War Dogs film.

His most recent stop was The Late Late Show with James Corden were he talked about hanging out with Bill Clinton in Thailand and also shared a Hangover Mike Tyson story.

Corden pointed out that Cooper just visited his hometown of Philadelphia where the Democratic National Convention was being held. Cooper says he still lives there in the house he grew up in.

He also took his mom to the convention to hear President Obama speak. Cooper wasn't expecting the uproar he got for going to the DNC. According to the interview, the Republican party was not happy that he was there.

Todd Phillips, who was also on stage pointed out that the reasoning behind it was Cooper's role as Chris Kyle in American Sniper.

Phillips said it was like the mob being mad at Robert De Niro for being in The Intern, which sent both Corden and Cooper into laughter.

Cooper said he did enjoy being there and he thought that President Obama was an incredible president.

Corden wanted to know if Cooper and Phillips ever met Bill Clinton and Phillips pointed out that Clinton was in Thailand the same time they were shooting The Hangover Part II.

They said Clinton came to the set in Bangkok and they went out to dinner with him. Cooper and Phillips said that Clinton's knowledge span is wide and that he was very engaging.

Phillips said Clinton told him that he loves comedies and his favorite comedy was Who's Your Caddy. Cooper said that Clinton asked him if there would be an A-Team 2 and if he could be in the film.

Meanwhile, Cooper and Phillips had some more awesome Hangover stories, this time it was with Mike Tyson.

Corden pointed out that Phillips worked with some pretty intimidating people like Tyson.

Phillips said that there was a particular way to throw a punch in the movie.

He was trying to show Tyson how to properly punch Zach Galifianakis and Tyson said, "oh this is great, I'm getting boxing lessons from the captain of the Jewish debating team."

Cooper said he and Tyson got along great on set and became friends.

He said that they lost touch over the year but Cooper was given one of Tyson's boxing belts. He thought it was the real championship belt at first but it turned out to be one of the replicas.
