Bradley Cooper, on fatherhood: "The first eight months I didn't even know if I loved my daughter"

Bradley Cooper is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. The American actor has been starring in big blockbusters in the cinema for more than two decades, such as A Star is Born, The Bright Side of Things, The Hangover and Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanks to his impeccable performances, the performer has been nominated on more than one occasion for many of the most important awards in the world of acting, such as the Oscars.

And although he can boast of having one of the most successful professional careers, the actor has also been in the media spotlight for his various romantic relationships. One of the last and that marked a before and after in his life was the relationship that he had for four years with the model Irina Shayk. As a result of their love story, their first daughter together was born, little Lea, who will turn seven years old next March.

Since the arrival of his first daughter, the actor has been focused on his role as a father without wanting to separate from her for a single second. And little Lea has been accompanying her father in some of her latest work commitments, such as the presentation of his latest film, Maestro. However, the relationship between the actor and his daughter has not always been as good as it is today. A complicated situation that the actor wanted to explain in a recent interview with comedian Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast.

During the talk, the interpreter assured that during the first months of Lea's life he did not understand how other parents could say phrases like "I would give my life without hesitation for my son." "The first eight months, I don't even know if they really "I loved my daughter. It's like a drug," he declared.

''I was fascinated by all that. I loved taking care of her. But would I die if someone came into my house with a gun?'' He explained. Of course, Bradley Cooper clarified that that feeling was only present during the first months of the little girl's life. ''Then, suddenly, there is no longer any doubt. "I'm not sure I'd still be alive if I weren't a father," he asserted. Now, the actor is more than focused on taking care of the little girl and on her new relationship with the model Gigi Hadid, with whom he has been dating since October 2023.
