Barbara Walters is certainly not immune to Bradley Cooper's charm.

While interviewing Cooper for her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2015" special, the 86-year-old Walters reveals that she, like many, has a bit of a crush on the Oscar-nominated star.

"I could just sit and stare at you but that would take too much time," she tells Cooper in the interview. "But I, I find you very screwable."

Later in the interview, a flirtatious Walters asks if the Joy star, 40, knows he's handsome, adding, "I think you're handsome, I think you're sexy."

She knows what it takes to get ahead in Hollywood.

Does ABC have a sexual harassment policy?

[wideawake]

Imagine if an 86 year old male interviewer said that to Jennifer Lawrence in an interview.

He would have death threats and be immediately cashiered after issuing a fawning apology.

Cooper should just be glad Helen Thomas is no longer with us.

[McGruff]

There are women and children here.

[ViLaLuz]

She’s disgusting.

:: She knows what it takes to get ahead in Hollywood ::

Shouldn’t that be “get some head” in Hollywood?

[texas booster]

Bob Barker need an apology, anyone?

And Babawa is very sponge worthy. /sarc

Early morning coffee fog... I confused Chelsea Manning with Bradley Cooper. There’s no reason too, of course, except that Baba Wawa could just as easily have interviewed him and made the same comment.

[I want the USA back]

If a male says those words he’s ripped to shreds and accused of harassment.

Walters is typical of the shallow, inane attitude of celebrities.

AWK-ward!

[Mr. K]

Good question...

I wonder how they would have felt if some conservative host like Hannity or Rush would say the same thing to a female guest...

[Nextrush]

When I was a teenager I really had a crush on Barbara and I found her very, well yeah.

Back there in 1976 when Jimmy Carter was telling “Playboy” that he had ‘lusted in his heart’ after women I was lusting in my heart after Barbara Walters.

In retrospect I was crazy but I wish Barbara well. I could tell her there’s much more to life than selfish sexual fantasy or using sexual expressions to draw attention to oneself.

I guess we can call this a case of ‘verbal exhibitionism’ on Barbara’s part. A ratings ploy?

very screwable

That would be "vewy skewabool".

[SC_Pete]

A lot of people said the same thing about her 60 years ago—publically and privately.

Let me fix that:
