Cooper denies being approached by Swift

Actor Bradley Cooper has denied that he ever got a call from singer Taylor Swift asking him to meet her.

Last year, it was reported that Swift was keen to date Cooper, and that he had turned her down, saying she was "too young".

On the "Howard Stern Show" Tuesday, the host asked the 40-year-old Cooper about it, reports dailymail.co.uk.

He said: "Taylor Swift wanted to meet you, she was interested in you as a potential boyfriend, you said she was too young for you."

To that, Cooper said: "Complete horses**t. I never got a call -- nothing."
