Bradley Cooper has found his fair share of critical acclaim in the Hollywood awards circuit, but according to the actor, that hasn’t always made him popular with peers. In a new interview with IndieWire’s SmartLess podcast, the nine-time Oscar nominee recalls the moment he’ll “never fucking forget” when an unnamed director allegedly teased Cooper for his Academy Award nominations.
According to Cooper, while discussing his body of work with a famous director and a female actor at an agency party, the director brought up that the female actor had only three Oscar nominations to her name. The director allegedly then asked Cooper: “What world are we living in where you have seven nominations and she’s only got three?”
