Despite having millions of dollars and being 48, Bradley Cooper still prefers living with his mom. However, it’s not only because of comfort, as a family tragedy is involved. In any case, the actor is blessed with a fantastic mother, and we’re happy that their bond only gets stronger every day.

His mom introduced him to the world of entertainment.

When Bradley Cooper was a kid, his dad, Charles Cooper, worked as a stockbroker, and his mom, Gloria Campano, was a newscaster for an NBC affiliate in Pennsylvania. His mom’s job got him interested in the industry, so while he was in high school, he followed his mom’s same path and got a job at the Philadelphia Daily News.

His father suffered from lung cancer.

Later, Cooper’s father got diagnosed with lung cancer, and he immediately moved to his parents’ house. The actor also decided to stop acting for a while to spend more time with his dad. The star tried everything he could to save his dad’s life and wanted to show him how much he cared for him. “With my father, it brought us together in a way that I didn’t even think was possible,” he recollects.
