14 DAY TRIAL // If you ever wake up and feel you lack the motivation to get out of bed, to work and on to your life, there’s now a pill that can make you both rich and famous. It’s called NZT or “the clear pill” and Bradley Cooper is pushing it in a new viral video.
As the actor says in the video that ended up online a few days back and that is now the talk of the town, there was a day when he was undatable, unmotivated, unsuccessful, an excuse for a human being.
Now, after he discovered NZT, he’s rich (he’s conquered Wall Street), the women are crazy about him, he’s super-smart and super-good in terms of people skills, and has the entire world at his feet.
NZT is a small (clear) pill that boasts of being the solution to every problem out there, as the official page of the “product” also says.
Among the things you can do thanks to it, we find: “master the stock market, maximize your physical strength and learn a foreign language in a day.” In other words, it can turn a regular man into the closest thing to a superhero.
Of course, as THR notes, such a pill doesn’t exist: the video is a viral for Cooper’s upcoming film “Limitless,” in which he plays a copywriter suffering from a bad case of writers’ block, who discovers a super-secret drug that will be the end of all his problems.
The NZT pill does come with side-effects, though, as the video also says, including paralysis, loss of memory and, if use is discontinued for even a day, sudden death.
In other words, once started the “treatment,” it can’t be stopped.
Written by Leslie Dixon and directed by Neil Burger, “Limitless” also stars Robert de Niro, Abbie Cornish and Anna Friel, and will be out in theaters in March 2011. Below is the video of Bradley Cooper promoting the “clear pill” NZT.
