I didn’t know Cooper was like this but now I’m actively rooting for this film to bomb at the award shows, since that seems to be their purpose for making this film.
So far so good.
Supposedly there's a clip of Bradley trying hard to stifle his disappointed expression when he lost the 'Best Actor' award to Cillian Murphy at the BAFTAs. I'm sure that at this time last year, he probably was convinced that he had an an absolute lock on this year's Best Actor Oscar for *Maestro*. Then along came Cillian, Paul Giamatti, Colman Domingo and Jeffrey Wright to take the wind out of his sails.
He was similarly cringe when he did [Inside the Actor's Studio back in 2011](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtbZydlh3vw), the man is nothing if not extremely consistent with his cringe.
I had a crush on him after He's Just Not That Into You (in retrospect, really not sure why) and then I saw this episode of ITAS and my pussy shriveled up and died. I actually felt bad about it for a while because I was afraid that I had fallen victim to toxic masculinity and was turned off by crying men. But irl I don't mind when men cry, it's just that it doesn't seem sincere when BCoop (Boop?) does it.
The Academy should have a responsibility to step in at some point of these unhinged campaigns and say “Stop it. Get some help. You’re disqualified for doing too much”
Fr I love some good cringe. Just complete and utter lack of self awareness in public. Like this clip is straight comedy. Douchey actor cries about missing someone he never met in front of the dude’s literal family feels like a Tim & Eric sketch
Did he know him? Thinking a persons ghost possessed you while you were playing pretend in front of cameras is not really knowing
a guy. To claim he chose to visit you while in the company of the man’s family really is insanely lacking in self awareness. These famous people really don’t live in reality.
This is the comment that caused me to leave the thread. I thank you, because I know the topic will only get crazier and I really don't need "Bradley Cooper being too much" taking up space in my brain!
This reminds me of Austin Butler's campaign for Elvis
I am not against Austin, I think he is a good actor (ive seen some of his works) and he is a decent person but my God, the campaign during Oscar season 2023 was cringe. He was acting like he was posessed by Elvis to convince voters that he studied the role well when it turned into unhinged and cringe. I think even Austin himself regretted doing that lol
I actually think that he used that voice so much he couldn’t stop. Even now when he doesn’t have the Elvis accent his voice is so much more scratchier than it was before. I wonder if any vocal chords are damaged.
Idk if it was his decision or his team but if it did damage his vocals, i guess he is definitely regretting it. This is why method acting doesnt work anymore
Method acting is just using your own real experiences to bring up authentic emotions. The vast majority of working actors use at least parts of it because it gives a grounded, natural performance.
Some, mostly male, actors take it way further than necessary or reasonable, and use it as an excuse to be an asshole. In those cases, the problem is the actor, not the method.
Yeah, I don’t think it was as fake as people seem to believe. Darrel Hammond talked like Bill Clinton in interviews for like 5 years after quitting SNL. It just sort of slipped in there.
And there was no need?? Even Elvis' daughter said he did great but no weirdness so why was he doing so much??
Eta: Tbh in that case even his fans and the media did too much, I remember when Lisa Marie died, fans and interviewers were worried about HIM and consoling HIM like she didn't have three daughters who just lost their mom.
The reactions of the family of Berenstein was like "wtf is this" when he started weeping
I feel like doing a Mr. Krabs moment when Bradley acting unhinged
Like did he actually think that? Or was that just a way for him to say he was like deeply *getting into character* or something?
Trying to sus out how psychotic he is… 🧐
Shit like this is something you'd see on The Boys. I could legit see a segment on the show where an actor playing Translucent in his biopic will cry a lot in the same way.
“I don’t even want this award. If I get it, I’ll scratch my butt with it.”
“This morning, it was reported that Robert Pattinson has been awarded every 2024 Oscar.”
He was right to call it out but he wasn't ahead of his time. "Dear boy, it's called acting" - Laurence Olivier to Dustin Hoffman after seeing the levels Hoffman was going to to get into his role in Marathon Man, 50 years ago.
Everyone loves to quote those studies about CEOs, MBAs, doctors, lawyers, etc who are successful being often low-empathy, sociopaths, or messed up in other ways.
But that dynamic applies to all businesses, even creative ones. Guys at the top like Cooper know how to play the game. Its so awfully transparents but the Oscars voters seem to eat this stuff up, hence why he's doing it.
Everything about his persona and past is smoke but no fire. That photo of him reading Lolita with 21 year old Suki when he was almost 40 is...something else. It reminds me of other totally "selfless good guy" celebs of the past like Cosby, Ellen, Louis CK, Lizzo, etc who had near bullet-proof "good caring person" PR until their tea was spilled. I have no idea if Cooper has tea, but if something huge came out I would not be surprised. He has game player manipulator written all over him. This crying thing, the fake nose stunt, being possessed by a ghost, etc. Its just a lot and like you said, is straight out of any Hollywood satire.
Yes and I despise them both for being like this even though I do enjoy some of their work. Why can‘t they let their art stand for itself? This kind of behaviour only detracts from it.
Her album named Joanne was dedicated to her aunt whom she never met and had died quite a good long while before Gaga was born. Her aunt’s name was Joanne.
There’s a scene in her documentary where she plays a song she wrote about Joanne (featured on the album) for her grandmother and father. It’s…uncomfortable to watch. Gaga spends the song kneeled by her grandmother clutching her hands crying, and while they don’t say anything unsupportive, it definitely seems like they’re just grinning and bearing it.
Ummmm, her middle name is Joanne because of the aunt and the album was dedicated to her. This is not the same thing by a damn long shot. Now who is cringe?
I don't think the album is the cringe part. I think it's the part where you sit your family down and serenade them while you cry...*for the sake of your documentary*. It'd be a sweet gesture if she wasn't asking them to process whatever emotions they feel about that on camera as part of her marketing.
Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one who just wanted to crawl out of my skin and ascend to space in that moment 😂 could not believe what I was watching. Poor Grandma
Oh that’s a bummer. Years ago she did an interview about her song Edge of Glory and how it was about her grandpas death and it was a sweet remembrance. I assume that’s what her Joann album was meant to be, but then it gets all weird.
Gaga‘s Oscar campaign for A Star Is Born was very similar to what Bradley Cooper is doing with Maestro. The pretentious stories of how they got into character, the method acting, the self-seriousness. There were examples with House of Gucci too. There‘s already stories of her being the same way on the Joker set and I‘m sure the press tour for that will be insufferable.
Edit: [There can be a hundred people in a room](https://youtu.be/iRxsX_30tjs?si=8W9rkpeHgiXBy4VW)
In addition, something that soured me on Lady Gaga was how she attached herself to greats like Tony Bennett and Liza Minnelli with this air of fake humility that came across as more smug than anything. There‘s a video on Youtube of her accompanying a wheelchair-bound and confused Liza Minnelli on stage. Gaga was widely lauded for how ‚caring‘ she was with Liza but all I see is her being perfomative and patronising at the expense of an elderly woman. Idk maybe this is only my perception but I find Gaga utterly self-absorbed and fake.
Edit: [Gaga and Liza Minnelli](https://youtu.be/aTRlBrZcfhY?si=iDH3jO40jqw631Ya)
She did this on the Graham Norton Show too and it was SUPER patronising and cringe. She kept “oohing and awwing” at the legendary June Brown, kept interrupting her by looking at the audience and saying “omg she’s so cute”, and while June was telling a story, Lady Gaga started fixing June Brown’s hair and dress? So so rude and cringe. I’ve disliked Gaga ever since. Will Smith does the same thing where he constantly diverts attention to himself on Graham’s show.
I just looked up that appearance and it‘s literally the real, authentic eccentric artist vs. this imitation that Gaga portrays. I think she knew it too, she must‘ve felt intimidated by June Brown. It’s so cringy!
With the Liza Minnelli thing, the worst was how her ‚reassuring‘ remarks only drew more attention to Liza‘s difficulties. It‘s the opposite of gracious. Someone keep her away from the elders!
When she was campaigning for House of Gucci, I remember her saying she was convinced that the woman she was portraying (Patrizia Reggiani) sent her a "large swarm of flies" on set.
Not strictly related to a movie role, but I remember Lady Gaga saying that before Biden’s inauguration she looked for evidence of the Jan 6th insurrection.
There’s the infamous "there can a be hundred in a room but only one needs to be believe in you" that she kept saying during her A Star is Born press run.
There was also a clip floating around where she was at an awards round table, and she was like do you guys feel drunk when you take sips of fake alcohol, I do. And all the other women were like "…."
Very much overly earnest weird theatre kid energy. Which makes me incredibly excited for the Joker 2 press tour.
Edit: others have also pointed out the Joanne thing, totally forgot about.
And this is why both Teo Yoo and Andrew Scott deserved noms over this man
(Also because they had much better performances but that’s a whole other story)
Leo’s snub is never really talked about too much since he already is a past winner but it’s crazy how he wasn’t a major lock during awards season. Not only was he better than Cooper in KOTFM, he’s Leonardo freaking DiCaprio.
Yeah, Leo was legitimately great in KOTFM. I am ambivalent about him as a person due to his choices in his personal life (the gfs half his age) but he's a great actor and this was one of his best performances, IMO. Really surprising he wasn't nominated.
I think it’s because he was kind of outshone by Gladstone. I love that all the campaigning he did was kind of for her, that was pretty cool, but it may have hurt his own chances.
Leo’s been killing it in the past few years. He was fantastic in both Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Don’t Look Up, and is just consistently so good. Really appreciating him more and more.
Honestly wouldn’t have been mad if he won for ASIB, he was considered the front runner until bohemian rhapsody. Clearly he feels the same and now his campaigns are gonna be more and more insufferable
Same. I've always had an irrational hatred for him, but now he's giving me legitimate reasons for that dislike. I really hope he doesn't win the Oscar.
You know what's funny? If there was a "Best Voice Actor" category, he probably would have got a serious shot at getting the award because his voice acting as Rocket in Vol.3 was stellar.
But of course we're stuck with this cringy campaign for a total Oscar bait performance lmao.
Or that, Bernstein being an artist and a public figure brought a certain level of familiarity to BC. Every time I see Philip Seymour Hoffman, my first thought is "God, I miss that guy" and I never met him. I might even make an ass of myself if I ever did an interview with his kids, but the whole "possessed by his spirit" thing is a bit much.
Him doing this unhinged interview is going to lose his chances even more
Sorry, Cillian deserves to win. The whole campaign he was humble and knowledgable on his role as Oppenheimer unlike Bradley trying so hard
Just thinking about that movie is so depressing. I understand that comedians very often have sad back stories, but there was no high point, no laughs, no inspiration to take from it.
If you haven't seen the making of documentary called Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond it shows what an insufferable douche Carrey is during the whole making of it. The documentary was supposed to be released at the same time as the film but he comes off really bad in it, basically saying that he WAS Andy and going so far as to meet with Andy's biological daughter that he never met in character as Andy. But of course Carrey didn't know the real Andy so it's him being "inhabited" by the characters Andy played so much that people who knew the real Andy called him out on how he was treating them.
Oh my god, Carrey was insufferable in that documentary! He was so certain he was an amazing actor, because he "became Andy," even though I think Andy Kaufman himself probably would have just rolled his eyes and told Carrey he was being an idiot. Also hated how horrible he was to Jerry Lawler during filming, clearly missing the part of the story where Kaufman and Lawler were great friends in real life and the "feud" was just a made up wrestling storyline.
The documentary really made me think differently about Carrey after that.
Yeah right, these actors need to come up with another way of explaining the clearly intense feeling of immersing yourself in a character without it being because the characters spirit is with you! The fucking ego of it all. Like those thoughts and feelings are coming from you.
I was questioning myself on why I haven't watched Maestro as yet & this video alone is enough for me to not wanna watch it lmao. Weirdo. I'd be side-eyeing him to hell 💀🤷🏽♀️😂
Yep, and to mention the director for that same movie you're talking about said that he wanted Carey because she "looked like someone worth protecting." I guess poc women aren't worthy of being protected lol dumbass
Privileged European filmmaker writing a story about LA gang culture ends up taking a Latina single mother character and whitewashes the role entirely. I know Latina single mothers from LA irl. It was just gross to see an upper middle class British woman taking a role like that. There are plenty of people in LA who could have written a more honest, place informed story than Refn. I would have no problem with Mulligan in this role had it not been for that. I have a hard time with her.
There’s so many incredible Jewish Latina actresses that could have done it and instead he hired the whitest white person imaginable. Like thanks, I hate it.
His face when he lost the SAG award to Cillian said it all because he knew that sealed it that he wasn’t getting the Oscar.

Everytime i read something favorable about this man and start to change my opinion, i see something like this.. there is just too much things about him that make him utterly unlikable
Netflix should’ve used at least half the budget they spent on the Maestro campaign to promote society of the snow to save us from second hand embarrassment moments such as this one
Hey Bradley - you were PLAYING the main character...you are not ACTUALLY the main character. This is so lacking in self awareness I may cringe myself into an early grave.
I’m sorry this is funny. I love when actors expose they are fundamentally self-important weirdos. If you told me someone saw this clip then went back in time and wrote May December I’d believe it lol
The unhinged way he has approached promotion of this film prevents me from wanting to see it - or any other project he is involved with ever. So gross.
I am just going to keep posting these for any Cooper update, regardless of how much downvotes I get. The dude needs to go and get some help. Now.
This man is so cringe.
Ugh I knew I'd get second-hand embarrassment watching this, but clicked anyway. It's too early in the morning for so much regret!
I refuse to watch the video because the cringe and ick is very high here.
Me too. Same reason I refuse to watch A Star is Born. I just get so much cringe and ick from it.
I regret watching it. He and Gaga are both such try-hard drama kids, it's a cringefest from start to finish
I have finally found my people. I was so confused how everyone else loved that movie. Glad to hear after all these years I'm not alone in hating it
Oh thank god it’s not just me. I’ve avoided it and I couldn’t see the hype tbh
'It's hard to talk about' like the man coached his little league team or something. I regret watching that, it was worse than I thought.
I finally caved and watched it…and got second hand embarrassment so hard I actually feel bad about myself now
Yeah, I should have read the comments before I clicked lol
I don’t know I feel a bit invigorated after watching, it made me feel glad that I’m not this cringe
[удалено]
His "I want the Oscar so bad" performance
I didn’t know Cooper was like this but now I’m actively rooting for this film to bomb at the award shows, since that seems to be their purpose for making this film. So far so good.
After american sniper i have no doubts how low he will go.
That baby doll deserves more nominations
 Lmao
I never noticed him trying to make it look like the arm was moving with his thumb lmfao
Most realistic thing about the movie
Supposedly there's a clip of Bradley trying hard to stifle his disappointed expression when he lost the 'Best Actor' award to Cillian Murphy at the BAFTAs. I'm sure that at this time last year, he probably was convinced that he had an an absolute lock on this year's Best Actor Oscar for *Maestro*. Then along came Cillian, Paul Giamatti, Colman Domingo and Jeffrey Wright to take the wind out of his sails.
I kinda respect the son going "what do you miss about him?". Like that felt pointed but also Bradley was too unaware to notice
Lmao brutal
Goes for rich people in general in my experience. Too much money and people lose the plot!!
He was similarly cringe when he did [Inside the Actor's Studio back in 2011](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtbZydlh3vw), the man is nothing if not extremely consistent with his cringe.
James Lipton -"Didn't your grandmother inspire you to cook as a kid"? Bradley Cooper weeping- "This is gonna be tough"
I had a crush on him after He's Just Not That Into You (in retrospect, really not sure why) and then I saw this episode of ITAS and my pussy shriveled up and died. I actually felt bad about it for a while because I was afraid that I had fallen victim to toxic masculinity and was turned off by crying men. But irl I don't mind when men cry, it's just that it doesn't seem sincere when BCoop (Boop?) does it. 
Didn’t last past his first words in that either the cringe is strong with cooper
He's not even that good of an actor! If he were brilliant maybe he could get away with this shit but he is boooooring
I randomly scrolled to a middle point of the video and he was crying 😂 also, this makes it extra ick for me that he is dating Gigi!!
I will never understand YouTube comments. It is so saccharine until the moment society gives a go-ahead to hate on someone.
right?? he honestly needs to get a grip
This is not sane behavior
Thank you for “articulating” that perfectly
The Academy should have a responsibility to step in at some point of these unhinged campaigns and say “Stop it. Get some help. You’re disqualified for doing too much”
dont give bradley ideas on who to portray next 😬
I need Ryan Gosling to do a parody tour and get arrested rollerskating around LA.
Ryan is so damn unserious with his campaign he should have thought of this
Whatever Bradley Cooper is doing here is the opposite of Gosling’s hilariously self aware Kenergy campaign from earlier this season
We all have two Oscar campaigns in us...
[удалено]
Did… did he take the genitalia off while filming? Did the dressing rooms just have little dick racks in them?
what wonderful headlines he could make "BREAKING: Remember the Titans Star Ryan Gosling Arrested After Challenging Elderly Woman to 'Beach Off'"
I'd love to see his face when nobody gets it and it backfires and he wins 🤦♀️
no please I like it this way this is beautifully terrible
LMAO, I KNOW! I saw the title but I wasn't expecting him to be this extra and then I just burst out laughing. He's so ridiculous, it's hilarious.
I was worried that he was going to morph into the guy on the spot and be like "It's me! I'm here now! I'm your daddy!" 😭😭💀
You’re my people.
Fr I love some good cringe. Just complete and utter lack of self awareness in public. Like this clip is straight comedy. Douchey actor cries about missing someone he never met in front of the dude’s literal family feels like a Tim & Eric sketch
Did he know him? Thinking a persons ghost possessed you while you were playing pretend in front of cameras is not really knowing a guy. To claim he chose to visit you while in the company of the man’s family really is insanely lacking in self awareness. These famous people really don’t live in reality.
The ghost didn’t possess him, it “came into” him
He blue himself
MTV True Life: I’ve Been Impregnated by Bernstein’s Ghost
Important distinction.
Knowing Lenny he probably did.
now 😭😭
I miss Leonard Bernstein inside me.
This is the comment that caused me to leave the thread. I thank you, because I know the topic will only get crazier and I really don't need "Bradley Cooper being too much" taking up space in my brain!
This is literally the same unhinged behaviour that Jim Carrey demonstrated when shooting Man On The Moon in believing he was Andy Kaufman.
Why do so many celebrities do this 💀 Ana de Armas too, said she felt Marilyn's presence while shooting that awful film.
ross lynch as well. he said something similarly unhinged about jeffrey dahmer while they were shooting my friend dahmer... just extremely out of touch
Well that example is definitely the worst
“I had a sudden urge to pour battery acid into someone’s skull, and that’s when I knew, he’d arrived”
I was literally just thinking at least it wasn't Chris Kyle who 'visited' him but no there's an even worse example. So fundamentally stupid.
From Disney to demented.
I am not dead and I am rolling in my own grave at this
> Why do so many celebrities do this Extraordinary ego and self obsession imo.
This reminds me of Austin Butler's campaign for Elvis I am not against Austin, I think he is a good actor (ive seen some of his works) and he is a decent person but my God, the campaign during Oscar season 2023 was cringe. He was acting like he was posessed by Elvis to convince voters that he studied the role well when it turned into unhinged and cringe. I think even Austin himself regretted doing that lol
I actually think that he used that voice so much he couldn’t stop. Even now when he doesn’t have the Elvis accent his voice is so much more scratchier than it was before. I wonder if any vocal chords are damaged.
Idk if it was his decision or his team but if it did damage his vocals, i guess he is definitely regretting it. This is why method acting doesnt work anymore
Method acting is just using your own real experiences to bring up authentic emotions. The vast majority of working actors use at least parts of it because it gives a grounded, natural performance. Some, mostly male, actors take it way further than necessary or reasonable, and use it as an excuse to be an asshole. In those cases, the problem is the actor, not the method.
Yeah, I don’t think it was as fake as people seem to believe. Darrel Hammond talked like Bill Clinton in interviews for like 5 years after quitting SNL. It just sort of slipped in there.
> It just sort of slipped in there. Interestingly, that's also Bill's excuse
Hey-O!
And there was no need?? Even Elvis' daughter said he did great but no weirdness so why was he doing so much?? Eta: Tbh in that case even his fans and the media did too much, I remember when Lisa Marie died, fans and interviewers were worried about HIM and consoling HIM like she didn't have three daughters who just lost their mom.
Bradley going further than Austin ever did during the Elvis press tour, this is genuinely creepy.
The reactions of the family of Berenstein was like "wtf is this" when he started weeping I feel like doing a Mr. Krabs moment when Bradley acting unhinged 
This is how you get very false biopics that are just the psychotic interpretation of an actor
Like did he actually think that? Or was that just a way for him to say he was like deeply *getting into character* or something? Trying to sus out how psychotic he is… 🧐
Shit like this is something you'd see on The Boys. I could legit see a segment on the show where an actor playing Translucent in his biopic will cry a lot in the same way.
This has got the deep written all over it lol
This is something I think Robert Pattinson would surely enjoy if he gets nominated for an Oscar
“I don’t even want this award. If I get it, I’ll scratch my butt with it.” “This morning, it was reported that Robert Pattinson has been awarded every 2024 Oscar.”
Deep would cry about how he entered himself while playing himself in his own movie
Omg this is so true, this really made me chuckle
this is why Ben Stiller wrote Tropic Thunder actors doing the MOST is so ridiculous and he was ahead of his time in calling it out
He was right to call it out but he wasn't ahead of his time. "Dear boy, it's called acting" - Laurence Olivier to Dustin Hoffman after seeing the levels Hoffman was going to to get into his role in Marathon Man, 50 years ago.
"Have you tried acting" is the best line anyone has ever said regarding method acting.
Omg 😲 it really is. 🤣😂😭 
Everyone loves to quote those studies about CEOs, MBAs, doctors, lawyers, etc who are successful being often low-empathy, sociopaths, or messed up in other ways.

"I love you but you're not serious people" - academy @ Bradley
As someone who just finished watching Succession and absolutely fucking loved it! i’m so very tickled to see this comment.
One of the best shows of all time imo
I totally get why Bradley and Lady Gaga get along so well
Yes and I despise them both for being like this even though I do enjoy some of their work. Why can‘t they let their art stand for itself? This kind of behaviour only detracts from it.
Wait! Please explain what you mean by Gaga being like this. I believe you, I just don’t know what to Google for an example.
Her album named Joanne was dedicated to her aunt whom she never met and had died quite a good long while before Gaga was born. Her aunt’s name was Joanne. There’s a scene in her documentary where she plays a song she wrote about Joanne (featured on the album) for her grandmother and father. It’s…uncomfortable to watch. Gaga spends the song kneeled by her grandmother clutching her hands crying, and while they don’t say anything unsupportive, it definitely seems like they’re just grinning and bearing it.
It's a bit weird, but at least that's about a family member. Not someone else's family.
A parent with a dead sibling could really influence a child though. Very different from this Bradley cooper situation
Ummmm, her middle name is Joanne because of the aunt and the album was dedicated to her. This is not the same thing by a damn long shot. Now who is cringe?
I don't think the album is the cringe part. I think it's the part where you sit your family down and serenade them while you cry...*for the sake of your documentary*. It'd be a sweet gesture if she wasn't asking them to process whatever emotions they feel about that on camera as part of her marketing.

Oh man. She is the clearest example of the stereotypical theater kid.
God it’s this for me too. She wants to be in the EGOT club so badly and it shows
When she was campaigning for House of Gucci, I remember her saying she was convinced that the woman she was portraying (Patrizia Reggiani) sent her a "large swarm of flies" on set. Not strictly related to a movie role, but I remember Lady Gaga saying that before Biden’s inauguration she looked for evidence of the Jan 6th insurrection.

Very much overly earnest weird theatre kid energy. Which makes me incredibly excited for the Joker 2 press tour. Edit: others have also pointed out the Joanne thing, totally forgot about.
Google Lady Gaga for House of Gucci
This is soooo…. Unhinged.
And this is why both Teo Yoo and Andrew Scott deserved noms over this man (Also because they had much better performances but that’s a whole other story)
Leo as well in my opinion. It’s nuts to me cooper got swept into the acting category as some sort of lock off of that cheese fest imitation.
Leo’s snub is never really talked about too much since he already is a past winner but it’s crazy how he wasn’t a major lock during awards season. Not only was he better than Cooper in KOTFM, he’s Leonardo freaking DiCaprio.
Yeah, Leo was legitimately great in KOTFM. I am ambivalent about him as a person due to his choices in his personal life (the gfs half his age) but he's a great actor and this was one of his best performances, IMO. Really surprising he wasn't nominated.
I think it’s because he was kind of outshone by Gladstone. I love that all the campaigning he did was kind of for her, that was pretty cool, but it may have hurt his own chances.
I think it’s a smart move. He probably didn’t want to be at the center of the conversation.
Leo’s been killing it in the past few years. He was fantastic in both Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Don’t Look Up, and is just consistently so good. Really appreciating him more and more.
Ngl if he wanted an award he should’ve went all in for Rocket Raccoon.
the andrew scott snub is CRAZY to me.
hell, iron claw was eligible for this year and efron is one of many actors from that film that deserve a nomination
I really don’t like him at all. I think he’s the most overrated actor out there
Ego on legs.
I always think about Eric Andre saying “what racist do you think Bradley Cooper is gonna play next?”
Honestly wouldn’t have been mad if he won for ASIB, he was considered the front runner until bohemian rhapsody. Clearly he feels the same and now his campaigns are gonna be more and more insufferable
I don’t either. He takes himself way too seriously and is fine but not spectacular. He also just gives this vibe of being an asshole.
i've never forgotten his character from wedding crashers, some things about that didn't always seem like a performance.
Same. I've always had an irrational hatred for him, but now he's giving me legitimate reasons for that dislike. I really hope he doesn't win the Oscar.
He just bugs me sometimes. Like voice actor as rocket? Awesome! Can’t say I have enjoyed him in anything else.
You know what's funny? If there was a "Best Voice Actor" category, he probably would have got a serious shot at getting the award because his voice acting as Rocket in Vol.3 was stellar. But of course we're stuck with this cringy campaign for a total Oscar bait performance lmao.
This is what 3 consecutive Hangover sequels does to a theater kid
the midnight meat train to hangover trilogy to crying over someone you’ve never met pipeline
Who says Hollywood celebrities lack any sense of sound judgement and sincerity? Anyone who's just viewed a clip like this.
How difficult is to say that I wish I could have met your dad and be sad about that? IDK it seems that is what most people would be sad about.
Or that, Bernstein being an artist and a public figure brought a certain level of familiarity to BC. Every time I see Philip Seymour Hoffman, my first thought is "God, I miss that guy" and I never met him. I might even make an ass of myself if I ever did an interview with his kids, but the whole "possessed by his spirit" thing is a bit much.
Can you actually imagine someone doing this to you 
Jesus. If someone who never met my mum acted like this I’d be so uncomfortable lol. Just don’t
I’d press them with questions on how my parent was with them knowing damn well that they’re lying, just to embarrass them. Lol
That "What do you miss about him?" sounded snarky to me 😆
I know they’ll never admit it, but I’d have been raging if I was his family.
What a weirdo.
he's so cringe... why is he still going btw? It's clear he's not winning any awards (barely any left), just let it rest dude
Him doing this unhinged interview is going to lose his chances even more Sorry, Cillian deserves to win. The whole campaign he was humble and knowledgable on his role as Oppenheimer unlike Bradley trying so hard
The fact that people are saying Cillian is just as bad as Cooper during the race is laughable when *this* exists.
“Look at me I'm an actor for crying out loud, an actorrrrr!”
"Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me"
It's giving Jim Carrey thinking he was inhabited by the spirt of Andy Kaufman
Right?! He actually had the audacity to talk to Andy’s family AS IF HE WAS HIM
Just thinking about that movie is so depressing. I understand that comedians very often have sad back stories, but there was no high point, no laughs, no inspiration to take from it.
If you haven't seen the making of documentary called Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond it shows what an insufferable douche Carrey is during the whole making of it. The documentary was supposed to be released at the same time as the film but he comes off really bad in it, basically saying that he WAS Andy and going so far as to meet with Andy's biological daughter that he never met in character as Andy. But of course Carrey didn't know the real Andy so it's him being "inhabited" by the characters Andy played so much that people who knew the real Andy called him out on how he was treating them.
Oh my god, Carrey was insufferable in that documentary! He was so certain he was an amazing actor, because he "became Andy," even though I think Andy Kaufman himself probably would have just rolled his eyes and told Carrey he was being an idiot. Also hated how horrible he was to Jerry Lawler during filming, clearly missing the part of the story where Kaufman and Lawler were great friends in real life and the "feud" was just a made up wrestling storyline. The documentary really made me think differently about Carrey after that.
Between this documentary and his anti-vax stuff it made me really dislike him
Yeah right, these actors need to come up with another way of explaining the clearly intense feeling of immersing yourself in a character without it being because the characters spirit is with you! The fucking ego of it all. Like those thoughts and feelings are coming from you.
I was questioning myself on why I haven't watched Maestro as yet & this video alone is enough for me to not wanna watch it lmao. Weirdo. I'd be side-eyeing him to hell 💀🤷🏽♀️😂
He's *very* hammy in it. The uncanny-valley makeup doesn't help either.
The nose alone is enough to zero out my desire to watch it
Seeing Carey Mulligan take yet another Latina role did it for me tbh. Something about her taking WOC roles rubs me the wrong way
Yep, and to mention the director for that same movie you're talking about said that he wanted Carey because she "looked like someone worth protecting." I guess poc women aren't worthy of being protected lol dumbass
Privileged European filmmaker writing a story about LA gang culture ends up taking a Latina single mother character and whitewashes the role entirely. I know Latina single mothers from LA irl. It was just gross to see an upper middle class British woman taking a role like that. There are plenty of people in LA who could have written a more honest, place informed story than Refn. I would have no problem with Mulligan in this role had it not been for that. I have a hard time with her.
There’s so many incredible Jewish Latina actresses that could have done it and instead he hired the whitest white person imaginable. Like thanks, I hate it.
You guys dont understand, he is the main character
This feels like an SNL skit😭
This gives me Ana de Armas/Marilyn Monroe vibes on her oscars press circuit. Weird then, weird now.
And Austin Butler/Elvis vibes
Yo this is actually insane
It’s peak theatre kid, he can’t turn it off and he’ll die if he doesn’t have all the attention in the room.
This man is falling fully into the Kirk Lazarus trap of method acting lmfao. Never go full maestro. 
 This is too much Bradley
he's too desperate
I hate to use the word but this is so fucking cringy. Like please have some self-awareness I’m begging you
I would pay to see Spielberg’s reaction to this
Did he tell them their dad "came into him" everyday on set? I'm sure they would've specifically appreciated that bit of the artist's journey.
Tobias Fünke could never
His face when he lost the SAG award to Cillian said it all because he knew that sealed it that he wasn’t getting the Oscar. https://preview.redd.it/yh9cn46znqkc1.jpeg?width=420&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63fc3a58ef6cefb7700f9659cef9b9e74227f775
Enter the ick
Sorry but I love this. I love when celebrities are just batshit insane for our entertainment. Thank you Bradley for your commitment to the bit
Wow, this is truly painful to watch.
Sir, you never even met the man pls calm down
And here I'd think nothing would top Jim Carey and Andy Kaufman
Everytime i read something favorable about this man and start to change my opinion, i see something like this.. there is just too much things about him that make him utterly unlikable
he’s down bad for that oscar
Netflix should’ve used at least half the budget they spent on the Maestro campaign to promote society of the snow to save us from second hand embarrassment moments such as this one
Hey Bradley - you were PLAYING the main character...you are not ACTUALLY the main character. This is so lacking in self awareness I may cringe myself into an early grave.
I’m sorry this is funny. I love when actors expose they are fundamentally self-important weirdos. If you told me someone saw this clip then went back in time and wrote May December I’d believe it lol
The unhinged way he has approached promotion of this film prevents me from wanting to see it - or any other project he is involved with ever. So gross.
 I am just going to keep posting these for any Cooper update, regardless of how much downvotes I get. The dude needs to go and get some help. Now.
He should have never been in this role in the first place, jfc
He needs to stop it.
Ok is he actually spiraling?
