Bradley Cooper appeared on Letterman Monday night to promote his new film, Silver Linings Playbook (opening November 21st), revealing that his Uncle Ernie consulted co-star Robert De Niro on how to affect a proper Philly accent.
Uncle Ernie is apparently a heating and air conditioning repairman from the area, which, by our measure, means he is Grade A certified to teach the Philadelphia dialect.
De Niro plays Cooper’s Eagles-obsessed father in the film, so even if the movie is a total steamer, you can still pluck it from the bargain DVD bin a year from now and give it to your dad for Christmas.
