With all of the flash and glam connected with the Oscars, it’s not unexpected that it takes a few days to fully process everything that happened. Major talking points, such as Oppenheimer’s success and all those involved in its production, John Cena’s naked walk across the stage, and Al Pacino’s decision to skip the Best Picture nominations in favor of simply announcing the winner directly, quickly made their way to the headlines of news outlets around the world.
However, one highlight starring actor Bradley Cooper seems to fly completely under the radar. Fortunately, it is now receiving the web attention it deserves, and we believe you will agree that it makes for very wonderful reading, despite the typical small group of skeptics who have crawled out of the woodwork. If you’re a Cooper fan, you’ve probably heard the latest rumors that he’s dating Gigi Hadid. Last week, a source said, “Bradley and Gigi are both genuinely happy.”
They’re having a terrific time together, doing well as a couple, and co-parenting healthily on both sides.” However, it was also revealed this week that Hadid will not be attending the 96th Academy Awards on Cooper’s arm, but would instead stay at home with her kid. Gloria Campano, Cooper’s 83-year-old mother, took her position and walked the red carpet with him. Cooper, who was nominated for Best Actor for his work in the critically acclaimed film Maestro, wore a double-breasted black suit by Louis Vuitton, but it was his gorgeous mother who stole the show at the Dolby Theater.
People expressed their excitement as soon as photographs of the mother-son combination appeared on social media. “It’s cute. “He looks like his mother, too,” one fan said. “Anyone that brings their mom to an awards show is a winner in my book,” a different attendee said. However, as is so often the case, others criticized Cooper’s decision to accompany his mother to the Oscars as anything other than a sweet, laudable gesture. Some others even described it as “creepy”.
“Again?? “C’mon, it’s getting kinda creepy,” one user commented on People’s Instagram photo featuring Cooper and his mother. “Again? Another person commented, “This is getting weird now.” “Can’t he find another date?…” Mama’s boy,” a third added. It should go without saying that there is nothing wrong with a celebrity choosing to accompany their mother to probably the world’s most prestigious awards event. If I were Cooper, I’d probably ask my mother to join me first!
According to accounts, Cooper and Campano have a special affinity, which is arguably best exemplified by her recent transfer into her son’s Los Angeles house. “I adore having my mother live with me. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Cooper explained at the time. The actor reportedly invites his mother to accompany him on some of his excursions.
