Bradley Cooper Opens Up About Emotional Vulnerability And Fatherhood

Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper recently shared a vulnerable side of himself during a candid conversation on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert. The 49-year-old actor revealed that he has had numerous emotional moments with a significant person in his life, noting that this individual has witnessed him cry approximately 150 times in the past year.

While Cooper did not disclose the identity of this person, speculation has arisen due to his public outings with supermodel Gigi Hadid since October 2023. The pair has been spotted together on multiple occasions, with sources suggesting that their relationship is becoming increasingly serious.

In a recent episode of the podcast, Cooper discussed how his approach to expressing emotions has evolved over time. He described himself as an 'ugly crier' in the past, with his entire body shaking during emotional moments. However, through therapy and meditation, he has learned to cry in a more relaxed manner, no longer experiencing intense convulsions.

The actor humorously reflected on his previous reluctance to cry on screen, joking about being hesitant to shed tears during acting scenes. He emphasized that his emotional transformation has allowed him to cry more freely and comfortably.

Cooper also touched upon his role as a father to his 6-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, whom he shares with ex-partner Irina Shayk. He expressed his desire to provide his daughter with a strong foundation to navigate life, emphasizing the importance of creating a solid support system for her.

As Cooper continues to explore his emotional journey and embrace vulnerability, his openness on the podcast has resonated with fans and listeners. His willingness to share personal experiences and growth reflects a deeper understanding of the complexities of human emotions and relationships.
