Bradley Cooper’s 6-Year-Old Daughter Draws Attention for Her Appearance in Resurfaced Photo

Bradley Cooper's recent "Armchair Expert" podcast interview sparked a fervent discussion among social media users, especially after an old photograph of him with his daughter, Lea, surfaced online. Some particularly highlighted the six-year-old's use of lipstick in the picture.

Most recently, Bradley Cooper opened up about the profound impact fatherhood has had on his life during a candid guest appearance on the "Armchair Expert" podcast. The acclaimed actor, known for his versatility and depth in roles, attributed his current outlook on life to his daughter, Lea Cooper, whom he shares with ex-partner Irina Shayk.

This heartfelt confession quickly caught the attention of various news outlets, which shared Bradley's quote on social media, accompanying it with an old photograph of the actor with his daughter.

The image, capturing a tender moment between father and daughter, showed Lea adorned in a Leopard-print dress with puffed sleeves complete with red lipstick and a bag. The photograph was taken during Netflix's "Maestro" Los Angeles Photo Call at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 12, 2023.

While Lea was undoubtedly adorable, onlookers expressed their surprise at seeing the young girl wearing red lipstick, with comments ranging from "Red lipstick on a child? Bizarre" to simply, "Lipstick????????"

Meanwhile, others were quick to point out the strong resemblance Lea bears to her parents. One admirer noticed, "She looks like father(eyes). Cute kid, an angel [sic]." "She gets both of her parents' eyes, but she gets Dad's skin tone and hair color," another emphasized. A third echoed, "She looks like him."

Beyond the discussions about her resemblance to both parents, many comments adored Lea for her bubbly look, praising her style and natural beauty. "She is so pretty," one social media user wrote.

"That's how you dress a little girl. She's so cute, beautiful eyes" and "She looks like she's ready to grace the cover of Vogue! What a beautiful girl!" are just a few examples of the overwhelmingly positive feedback, demonstrating the public's affection for the young Cooper.

Bradley has been vocal about 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, shedding light on the transformative power of fatherhood and its significance in his personal growth.

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. It's about loving the sweet moments with your child while also knowing you have to help them through life's ups and downs.

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 lauds 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."

Undoubtedly, Bradley Cooper has embraced fatherhood wholeheartedly, ready to sacrifice anything for his daughter's sake. This dedication was evident when he had to leave a press conference in New York for his new movie "Maestro" due to an emergency involving Lea.

At that time, he interrupted the conference upon receiving a call from the nurse at Lea's school. Explaining the situation, Bradley said, "I have to go to the school to do something with Lea that needs...I have to apply something that they won't allow...I have to do it, so it's like a ten-minute walk."

This incident, occurring shortly after a red carpet appearance with Lea for the "Maestro" premiere, underscores Bradley's unwavering commitment to his role as a father, further endearing him to fans and onlookers alike.
