In his NRL career, Cooper was a classy centre, finishing with 125 tries to his name and a premiership before hanging up his boots in 2013
After retiring in 2013, the athlete viewed by many as the sexiest man to ever grace a rugby league field turned his attention to the small screen.
In recent years, Cooper has featured on Dancing With The Stars, I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!, Celebrity Apprentice and The Full Monty.
The NRL premiership winner with the Red V in 2010 also recently finished filming the second series of Big Brother VIP for Channel 7.
Cooper made his NRL debut for the Dragons in the opening round of the 2000 season, and quickly forged a reputation as an elite centre.
The hard nosed defender, who scored 125 tries in a glittering career, went onto represent NSW in State of Origin campaigns from 2004-2010.
In addition, he donned the Australian Kangaroos jersey on seven occasions.
Cooper also has some friends in very high places. He is a longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) fanatic who enjoys a personal friendship with UFC boss Dana White.
He is keen to eventually take on former NSW Blues captain Paul Gallen in the ring - but not a boxing one, rather an octagon ring.
'I don't want to box him,' he said recently. 'I have been training in mixed martial arts for years and my strength is in my kicking. That's where I would have Gal's measure and really, I have no interest in boxing. I just love MMA.
'To be honest, footballers fighting footballers in the boxing ring is old news, and so is boxing. The younger generation isn't interest in boxing, they want MMA. That's why UFC is one of the biggest sporting organisations in the world.'
