The 38-year-old 'Hangover' star will portray a drug addict cook in the upcoming movie titled 'Chef', reported Sun online.
British chef Ramsay has signed up to be a consultant on the project, in order for Cooper to look professional in the kitchen.
"Gordon jumped at the chance to be involved in this. He has a lot of showbiz pals in LA through being mates with the Beckhams. So it was only a matter of time before he got involved in the movie business out there," a source said.
"He's used to being in front of the camera, so who knows? A cameo in Chef would be the perfect start if he wanted to dip his toe into acting," it added.
'Chef' is about Parisian cook Adam Jones (Cooper), whose career is destroyed with drugs before getting clean and launching a new restaurant.
