In the aftermath of the dazzling spectacle that is the Oscars, it’s no surprise that it takes a bit of time to process all the highlights.
Among the buzz surrounding successes like Oppenheimer, John Cena’s unconventional stage walk, and Al Pacino’s unique approach to announcing winners, there was one heartwarming moment featuring Bradley Cooper that initially slipped under the radar.
For those following Cooper’s personal life, rumors of his romance with Gigi Hadid have been circulating. While it was clear that Hadid wouldn’t be accompanying Cooper to the 96th Academy Awards, another special lady took her place on the red carpet – his 83-year-old mother, Gloria Campano.
Cooper, nominated for Best Actor for his role in Maestro, looked dapper in a Louis Vuitton suit, but it was his mother who stole the spotlight at the Dolby Theater.
The images of the mother-son duo quickly spread across social media, eliciting joy from fans who found the gesture touching.
However, as is often the case, there were detractors who deemed Cooper’s decision to bring his mother as his date to be questionable, with some going as far as labeling it “creepy”.
Yet, the majority of responses celebrated the bond between Cooper and Campano, recognizing it as a touching display of family affection rather than anything untoward.
Reports indicate that Cooper and Campano share a close relationship, exemplified by her recent move into his LA home and her frequent travels with him.
In a world where celebrity actions are often scrutinized, Cooper’s choice to bring his mother to the Oscars stands as a testament to the importance of family bonds, garnering admiration from many. What are your thoughts on Bradley Cooper’s decision? Let us know in the comments below.
