Bradley Cooper and his daughter, Lea, showcased a delightful bonding moment as seen in a video, as netizens adore her as her father's latest red-carpet companion, after her mom and grandmother. Lea's vibrant look marked a striking departure from her previous animal-themed attire.
Bradley Cooper recently attended the premiere of his new film "If" with his 7-year-old daughter, Lea Cooper, who captured attention with her colorful outfit.
An Instagram video posted by E! News highlighted her wearing a multicolored dress paired with a pink cover-up, blue sneakers, and uniquely styled blonde hair, while holding her favorite stuffed toy.
Lea, the daughter of Russian model Irina Shayk, interacted warmly with her father and his colleagues, including Hollywood star and Bradley's co-star in the movie, Matt Damon.
She showed curiosity towards an image of a character played by her father, gazing up at him as he looked back with a gentle smile. The pair then walked hand-in-hand, as they exited the venue.
Social media users praised Lea's simple and comfortable attire. "I love that she's dressed as an actual child instead of trying to make her look like an adult," one fan commented, echoing the sentiments of many. "Love she's dressed like a 'normal' kid," another said.
One observer noted a similar view, "It's good to see a kid dressed like a kid. I like how nobody seems to be bothering her, too. Her dad looks like he's doing a good job, there." Another added, "I like how she's dressed like a regular little girl. Not some mini fashionista."
The sight of Lea carrying a toy added an extra layer of cuteness."It's cute that she is dressed like a normal little girl carrying her favorite stuffed animal around," a fan remarked, emphasizing the innocence e of the scene.
In addition to her attire, fans also praised the behavior of Bradley's daughter. "His daughter is always so well behaved! What a doll," a supportive fan remarked. Another described Lea, "She's a doll baby... SO pretty."
Meanwhile, one netizen couldn't help but notice Lea's striking resemblance with Bradley, "His daughter looks so much like him, she is adorable she has a beautiful head of hair."
However, one admirer pointed out an actress Lea looked like, "She looks like a young Drew Barrymore." These remarks underscored the public's approval of Bradley's parenting approach.
While fans lavished praise on Bradley and Lea during their appearance at the "If" premiere, the atmosphere was notably different at the "Maestro" movie premiere in Los Angeles last February. There,some social media users reacted with surprise to Lea's choice of attire.
Photos from the event showed Lea in a leopard-print dress with puffed sleeves, accessorized with red lipstick and a bag. This bold look sparked varied reactions, with comments ranging from "Red lipstick on a child? Bizarre" to simply, "Lipstick????????"
Despite the surprised responses, others quickly pointed out the strong resemblance Lea bears to her parents. One admirer noticed, "She looks like father(eyes). Cute kid, an angel [sic]."
While many fans think Lea looks like Bradley, the acclaimed actor admitted in a2019 interview with Oprah Winfrey who he thinks his daughter resembles. "When she was a child, and I was just in the room with her, I would say, 'Dad?' Because there's some moments where she looks just like my father," he said.
Further reflecting on his role as Lea's dad in June 2023 on "Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge," he spoke about learning from previous generations' mistakes and his commitment to his daughter's growth and well-being.
Bradley also shared how fatherhood reshaped his life, bringing him immense joy and a renewed sense of purpose. "Honestly, I'm not sure I'd be alive if I wasn't a dad," Bradley revealed on the "Armchair Expert" podcast.
In a different interview, he talked about how being a dad lets him enjoy simple things again, like playing with toys and watching cartoons, without worrying about what others think.
He also mentioned how parenting is both fun and serious because you get to see your child's happiness but also worry about the hard stuff they'll face. However, Bradley admitted that his connection to Lea wasn't instantaneous.
In the first eight months of her life, he grappled with his feelings, uncertain if he loved her as deeply as he does now. This candid revelation came during the same "Armchair Expert" podcast interview, highlighting the complexities of parental love and the journey it entails.
Lea is Bradley's daughter with supermodel Irina. Despite their separation, Irina and Bradley have managed an amicable co-parenting setup. Irina lauded Bradley as "the most amazing dad," emphasizing their shared focus on Lea's well-being over their personal roles.
"I never understood the term co-parenting," Irina remarked. "When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mother, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad. Co-parenting is parenting."
Beyond his parenting responsibilities with Irina and public outings with Lea, Bradley is also proud of his relationship with his mother, Gloria Campano. He showcased this by taking her as his date to this year's Oscars.
In what turned into a memorable outing, Bradley, dressed in a double-breasted black suit from Louis Vuitton, was accompanied by Gloria, who turned heads in her chic ensemble. She wore a sleek black dress with a matching blazer, accented by a dazzling broach.
She completed her look with a pair of blue-lensed sunglasses, adding a modern twist to her classic outfit. Fans immediately took to social media to express their admiration for the duo, with comments ranging from heartwarming to humorous.
One fan noted, "This is cute. He looks like his mom too," highlighting the resemblance between Bradley and Gloria. Another joked "He's got a pocket mom" as a lighthearted way to reference Gloria's stature in comparison to her son's.
However, not all comments were in favor of Bradley's choice of date. Some saw it as an opportunity to critique, with remarks like "Good grief, can't he get another date?...Mama's boy" and suggestions that it was time for him to grow up and leave his mother at home when he attended awards ceremonies.
Despite the varied reactions, it's evident that Gloria holds a special place in Bradley's life. Not only is she a significant figure due to her career as a former NBC affiliate, but she has also recently moved in with the actor in Los Angeles. This decision reflects Bradley's dedication to his family.
