Cooper Brown is the columnist-protagonist of a regular column, a spoof,[1] entitled "He's out There" in The Independent newspaper. The columnist presents himself as a highly outspoken American former movie producer, resident in London.[2]
As of mid-August 2008, Cooper Brown was taken to Guantanamo Bay as a prisoner, according to an alleged anonymous phone call from a "fan" of Cooper, and his 28 August column purports to have been written by his upper-class British wife Victoria.[3]. No new articles appeared for the two following years. In May 2010 he posted on his Facebook profile, claiming his column would be returning to the Independent.[4].
Cooper Brown's column has reappeared in the I newspaper from January 2011.
