Bradley Cooper’s talent both as an actor and as a director are feats meant to be congratulated and praised about. From Silver Linings Playbook to A Star is Born, his works are meant to be awed upon. There is no restriction of genre either for the actor. Action, romance, or comedy, he is always up for the challenge. His latest film, Maestro, is already deemed as one of his masterpieces.
Although his dedication to cinema is extraordinary, there is another place with Cooper’s enthusiasm shines. Football. The actor is an incredibly dedicated enthusiast of football, holding a special place in his heart for one specific team, the Eagles. It is his love for the team that far surpasses anything else.
Bradley Cooper Would Give Up an Oscar with Ease
Bradley Cooper, while sitting in an interview with the Howard Stern Show, talked about his love of the football team, the Eagles. He stated that Cooper finds himself in each and every one of their games, supporting them wholeheartedly. However, when the actor was asked if he would be up for an Oscar win for Maestro for both Best Actor and Best Director, he found himself at a crossroads. Well, sort of.
“I’m not lying.” He added, “I’m sick.”
On the other side of the scale would be a Super Bowl win for the Eagles. Interestingly enough, the Guardians of the Galaxy star did not even let Stern finish his question. He immediately jumped at the thought of his favorite team winning, willing to give up his precious Academy Award for the sake of a Super Bowl win. When Stern confirmed the case, he admitted that it sounded extremely absurd but he would pick one over the other in a heartbeat. In front of the Eagles winning, an Oscar means absolutely nothing to the actor.
