Actor Bradley Cooper’s poor luck at the Golden Globes continued this year when he failed to win a single award at the 81st Golden Globe Awards. Cooper was nominated in the Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama and Best Director – Motion Picture categories for his musical drama film Maestro. However, Cooper lost both awards to Oppenheimer.
On the other hand, Robert Downey Jr. won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor. To make matters worse, one of Downey’s high school friends, fellow actor Rob Lowe, accidentally texted Cooper about Downey’s victory and ended up trolling the actor. Here is what happened between Lowe and Cooper in the aftermath of this year’s Golden Globes.
Rob Lowe Accidentally Texted Bradley Cooper and Trolled Him
Actor Rob Lowe first rose to prominence in the 80s, having debuted on television at the age of fifteen. Lowe soon became a teen idol and later established himself as a bonafide star in Hollywood with a string of successful films. Lowe is a childhood friend of actor Robert Downey Jr., and the two attended the Santa Monica High School, where they were classmates.
During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Lowe spoke about his friendship with Downey who recently won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Oppenheimer. However, Lowe shared a hilarious incident connected to Downey’s victory that inadvertently led to him trolling actor Bradley Cooper.
In his conversation with Kimmel, Lowe revealed that he was trying to send a congratulatory text to his friend, Downey, for his win, but accidentally texted Cooper.
“I’m so excited for him, so I text him so glad you won. That is the most beautiful acceptance speech I have heard in a long time, boy, do you deserve it. I hit it and I realize oh I just sent that to Bradley Cooper.”
Lowe told the above incident to Kimmel, while the host chimed in with the fact that Cooper did not win at this year’s Golden Globes. Thus, Lowe while trying to congratulate his childhood friend accidentally ended up trolling Cooper.
Bradley Cooper Was Gracious About the Incident and Did Not Mind the Text
During the conversation, Lowe revealed that he had wrongly saved Cooper’s number, which led to the hilarious incident. Moreover, Lowe only realized his mistake after accidentally texting Cooper a second time. However, Lowe stated that Cooper was gracious about the incident and did not make a fuss about things despite not winning at this year’s Golden Globes.
“He said no no no it’s fine I like living vicariously through these mistakes.”
Lowe made the above comment recounting Cooper’s reaction to his mistake. Cooper, who has been nominated for Golden Globes nine times, with four nominations for his acting is yet to win a single award at the prestigious ceremony. Despite this, Cooper took Lowe’s accidental trolling quite sportingly. On the other hand, Lowe admitted that he felt terrible about the entire incident.
