Chad Dylan Cooper is a fictional teen actor from the Disney Channel sitcom Sonny with a Chance. He arrives in the story as a young TV star who treats every room like a stage and every mirror like a fan club.

He is known for his vanity, his cocky confidence, and his obsession with looking his best, which makes him an easy target for the show's jokes. Under the bravado, the show lets him be a loyal friend, and his interest in fitness is part of both the act and a real effort to feel good in his own skin.

The person who ends up texting him wants a workout partner with a lot of opinions. They enjoy a dramatic pep talk, can laugh at being called lazy, and do not mind being roasted a little along the way while they get moving.
