Dark and handsome actor Dominic Cooper impressed on stage in "The History Boys", then in the film version as Dakin, a pressured Brit college student. He'll be seen soon in The Duchess opposite Keira Knightley. The London resident sings and dances his way through the film version of the fun, Abba-song-filled musical Mamma Mia as Sky, the hunky groom-to-be of gorgeous Mean Girls alum Amanda Seyfreid. Dominic spends most of the film in swimwear or beach gear and we have no complaints although the actor admits he wasn't always comfortable with his wardrobe.
We caught up with Dom on the phone while he was on the way to the airport in Berlin on his world-wide Mamma Mia press tour. He had lost some of his luggage and was trying to find it. Later, during our chat, his car was "attacked" by a bevy of Sponge Girls (women trying to get a tip for washing the car windshield). He stopped talking with us briefly, either to watch them or shoo them away, we're not sure. Imagine an eventful chat and that soft Brit accent...
Dominic: Sorry, I'm having a moment of panic here.
TeenHollywood: You lost some luggage, huh?
Dominic: Yeah. I don't know if I should call the hotel and deal with it now or go on talking. What do you think? [laughs] What's your opinion on this?
TeenHollywood: I don't know what you lost but we wanna talk to you [more chatter about the missing item].
