Hollywood heartthrob and A Star Is Born leading man Bradley Cooper is turning heads again, but this time, itโ€™s within the walls of his own home. Cooper unabashedly embraces a clothing-optional philosophy, a trait heโ€™s inherited straight from the familial tree.

In a recent tell-all on the Armchair Expert podcast aired on Feb. 26, 2024, Cooper threw open the doors to his personal life, revealing that his comfort with nudity is not a newfound Hollywood fad but a legacy passed down by his father. With Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell confessing their own householdโ€™s laissez-faire approach to nudity, Bradley was quick to join the chorus, admitting, โ€œMy dad was always nude.โ€

But thereโ€™s an intriguing twist in the Cooper household sagaโ€”Bradleyโ€™s evolved tradition. The acclaimed actor, now a father to 6-year-old Lea, whom he shares with supermodel ex Irina Shayk, has engineered a new family customโ€”open-door bathroom policy.

Cooper credits his New York living experience for this shift, which was a marked departure from his upbringing wherein certain privacies were observed. The city, known for its compact living quarters, inadvertently taught him the art of merging personal spaces.

โ€œThe bathtub and toilet and bed are all in the same room,โ€ he humorously notes, underscoring the practical blend of necessity and intimacy in his daily life.

In a setup where space and privacy are luxuries, the Cooper residence thrives on openness and connection. โ€œWe talk where Iโ€™m on the toilet, sheโ€™s in the bathtub,โ€ says Bradley, painting a picture of their unique bonding rituals. This uninhibited ethos doesnโ€™t just stop at lifestyle choices; itโ€™s a gateway to more profound revelations for Cooper.

Diving into heartfelt territories, Cooper, who is currently linked with model Gigi Hadid, credits his daughter with anchoring him amidst lifeโ€™s tumultuous waves. Having battled addiction in the past, fatherhood offers him a renewed sense of purpose and direction.

โ€œHonestly, Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™d be alive if I wasnโ€™t a dad,โ€ Cooper admits. This bond isnโ€™t just about mutual survivalโ€”itโ€™s about laying down a strong foundation for Lea, ensuring her path in life is as enriched and stabilized as possible.
