US actor Bradley Cooper (“A Star Is Born”) has spoken publicly about his drug problems in the past.
At the beginning of his career he felt “so lost”,” said the 47-year-old in an episode of the podcast “SmartLess” published on Tuesday (local time). “And I was addicted to cocaine.”
There were also physical problems. “Shortly after I was fired from “Alias”, I tore my Achilles tendon.” After leaving the US series, he had “zero self-esteem”.
The first “Hangover” film, which he shot at the age of 36, brought about a big change. In addition, the birth of his daughter further improved his attitude towards himself.
Cooper: “You have that wonderful experience or that breakthrough with a screenplay, or you have a wonderful moment on set or in the editing room (…) But you have about 40 moments every day with your child that mean that level of joy. This is not silly, this is just the truth.”
Cooper’s daughter with model Irina Shayk was born in 2017.
