Bradley Cooper bursts into tears during interview

Bradley Cooper shone last year in the film Maestro, in which he plays the legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein. He made no secret of the fact that he would love to win awards for this role (campaigning for the Oscars is not crazy to do), although many viewers felt that Cooper might have laid it on a bit too thick.

He is still promoting the film and regularly gives interviews about the film and his role. A recent interview has now gone viral on TikTok, for a very special reason: Bradley Cooper breaks down in tears.

Why? The actor was asked if he misses Leonard Bernstein. ‘It's hard to talk about,’ he replies first, as his eyes fill with tears. He is sitting on the couch with Bernstein's children — Bernstein's daughter was the one who asked this question.

It's beautiful, of course, that this can affect him so much, but... He has never met Leonard Bernstein and that is enough reason for TikTok to make this piece a bit ridiculous. That he is crying on the couch about the father of the people sitting next to him while he has never met the best man. ‘I do really feel like I know him,’ he gives as his final answer.

Oh, that Bradley. It's a bit sad, but I also see the funny side of it...
