Cooper Cross-dressed For Club Nights

British actor DOMINIC COOPER had a novel way of gaining access to nightclubs when he was underage - he dressed as a woman.

The Mamma Mia! star was brought up in Greenwich, south London, but his baby-faced features meant his pals often excluded him from nights out when he was a teenager.

So Cooper, who is currently dating Amanda Seyfried, hit upon the idea of donning female clothing in an attempt to gain access to clubs.

He says, “I looked so young, so I put on make-up at the bus stop, where there was usually a drug-deal going on, and I would put on a skirt. It was either that or get the bus home alone. The girls thought it was very funny.”
