"I don't know," the "Maestro" actor and director said on "Armchair Expert."
Bradley Cooper is opening up about how his 6-year-old daughter, Lea, changed his life.
“Honestly, I’m not sure I’d be alive if I wasn’t a dad,” the “Maestro” actor and director said on Monday’s episode of “Armchair Expert” podcast. “I don’t know.”
“I just needed someone to say, ‘We’re gonna drop this massive anchor,’” Cooper said, giving an example of what becoming a dad felt like to him. “And I’m like, ‘Why? We’re speeding. I just got an upgrade on the boat, and I know where the wind is coming in.’ And they’re like, ‘No no no, there’s a tsunami coming, and you need an anchor, and we’re gonna drop it. [Because] this is going to dictate everything you do from now on.’”
“Your DNA is going to tell you that there’s something more important than you,” Cooper added.
Cooper also got candid about another vulnerable parenting topic, as the “A Star Is Born” entertainer said it took time to warm up to his daughter after her birth.
