Hollywood heart-throb Bradley Cooper was reportedly caught up in an airport bomb scare in Los Angeles, just days after the failed Detroit terrorist attack.

The Hangover star was preparing to board a flight to New York at Los Angeles’s LAX airport today, when a passenger’s bag sparked the scare.

The airport terminal was partially evacuated as bomb-squad officers were called in to inspect the bag, but it turned out to be harmless.

Cooper kept his cool and read a newspaper as he calmly waited in line to be screened, according to reports.

A police spokesman confirmed that the alarm was raised at around 10am and that the terminal re-opened after about half an hour.

The passenger with the suspect bag was allowed to board his flight to Toronto, Canada.

Security checks have been stepped up at airports across the US following a failed suicide bombing on Christmas Day on a transatlantic flight to Detroit.

Suspect Umar Abdulmutallab reportedly tried to light an explosive attached to his leg as the aircraft approached Detroit from Amsterdam.
