Bradley Cooper in Talks to Star as Barry Gibb in Upcoming Bee Gees Biopic
The long-awaited Bee Gees biopic is finally gaining momentum — and fans can’t stop talking about it. Reports reveal that Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper is in negotiations to portray the legendary Barry Gibb, the eldest of the iconic Gibb brothers who defined an era of music.
Following the massive success of Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, this new project promises to deliver another unforgettable musical journey — charting the Bee Gees’ meteoric rise from the 1960s British pop scene to their dazzling reign over the disco-dominated 1970s.
Produced by Graham King — the powerhouse producer behind Bohemian Rhapsody — in collaboration with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, the film will celebrate the Bee Gees’ extraordinary career. Audiences can expect a powerful soundtrack filled with timeless hits like “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” and “How Deep Is Your Love,” songs that continue to echo through generations.
The story will go beyond the glitz and fame, offering an intimate look at the brothers’ personal triumphs and heartbreaks. From their creative evolution to their deep familial bonds and the tragedies that shaped their lives, the biopic aims to deliver an emotional and authentic portrayal of one of the greatest musical groups of all time.
Adding even more credibility, Barry Gibb himself is involved in the production, ensuring that the film stays true to the real story of the Bee Gees. His participation will provide invaluable insight into the group’s legacy, offering fans — both old and new — an honest glimpse into their enduring spirit and resilience.
For Bradley Cooper, the role would mark a fitting continuation of his acclaimed work in A Star Is Born (2018), where he not only starred and directed but also showcased his deep connection to music. His portrayal of Barry Gibb could easily become another career-defining moment.
With Anthony McCarten, the celebrated screenwriter behind The Theory of Everything and Bohemian Rhapsody, crafting the script, this film is shaping up to be a cinematic event for the ages — one that will celebrate the universal power of music, brotherhood, and the timeless sound of the Bee Gees.
Get ready to dance, feel, and relive the magic — because the Bee Gees are staying alive on the big screen.
