Bradley Cooper shared on a recent podcast that a famous director \u2014 whom he did not name \u2014 told him to his face he didn\u2019t deserve to have racked up seven career Oscar nominations when \u201cA Star is Born\u201d was making the awards rounds.<\/p>\n

At a 2017 CAA party, Cooper, told Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes on the SmartLess podcast<\/a>, he was talking to a thrice-Oscar-nominated actress (whose name he also withheld) and the director. The helmer told the actor, \u201cWhat world are we living in where you have seven nominations and she\u2019s only got three?’\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper, who now has nine total Academy Award nominations for co-producing \u201cJoker,\u201d and \u201cNightmare Alley,\u201d was stunned. As he said on the podcast, \u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Bro, why are you such an a\u2014hole.\u2019 I would never f\u2014ing forget that. Go f\u2014 yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides scoring a Best Picture nod in 2019 for \u201cA Star is Born,\u201d which was his directorial feature film debut, Cooper also earned nominations for Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay. <\/p>\n

And it wasn\u2019t the first time he was made to feel he didn\u2019t deserve to be recognized by the Academy. In 2011, after he received his first nomination for \u201cSilver Linings Playbook,\u201d he said a \u201chero female actress\u201d told him in a condescending way, \u201cI saw your movie. You deserve the nom.\u201d \u201cI was like, \u2018What? I\u2019m sorry, what?\u2019 \u2018The nom.\u2019 Then like 10 or 20\u00a0minutes later \u2014 I\u2019m not kidding \u2014 I passed her going to the bathroom and she mouths it, \u2018The nom.\u2019 I remember [thinking], what\u00a0the f\u2014 is this town?\u2019 Can you imagine saying that to somebody? You\u2019ve got to be f\u2014d up to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

But despite starting off his career with \u201czero self-esteem,\u201d he\u2019s doing just fine, directing himself as Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming biopic, \u201cMaestro.\u201d<\/p>\n

He told the podcast co-hosts, \u201cI had a secret weapon in \u2018A Star is Born.\u2019 It was Lady Gaga. The secret weapon I have in this movie is f\u2014ing Leonard\u00a0Bernstein and Gustav Mahler. The music!\u201d<\/p>\n
