Bradley Cooper admitted he struggled to feel connected to his and Irina Shayk’s daughter, Lea, when she was born.
The “Maestro” star appeared on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast Monday and discussed his growth as a father since welcoming the 6-year-old in March 2017.
Cooper, 49, explained the first few months of Lea’s life he didn’t understand when fellow parents would say, “I would die in a second for my kid.”
“That’s my experience,” the actor continued. “Fascinated by it. Loved taking care of it. But would I die if someone came in with a gun?”
He admitted after only a couple months into her life, he wasn’t sure.
“And then all of a sudden, it’s like no question,” he added.
Cooper confessed shortly after explaining he’s since strived to be a better person in order “to do the least amount of damage that [he] could do to [his] daughter.”

Why do people feel the need to embarrass themselves like this?
Keep your pie hole shut.
Idiot. And it’ hilarious how some some think he’s some kind of decent man or a patriotic kinda guy because he had a movie role about a SEAL.
He’s still a Hollywood guy.
Weird. Probably not married
Not a family
Women do this to their kids. Why fool
Around with someone who hasn’t married you. The kids are the ones who suffer
This child does not want to hear this or read it but she will
It’s because of the BS libtard mantra of “live your authentic life:.
Its why God gave women maternal instincts and higher levels of agreeableness and openness - or we would never have survived as a species.
Most of those people in Hellywood are dopes. What an awful thing to say.
“Hey dude, shoot the kid, but not me”.
What a Dad.
To them - Jerry Springer was a god.
So they live their life like a daytime TV talk show.
Attention Whores.
Who?
As if this is important?
He's right, but probably not in the same manner as some are. We don’t say “I’d take a bullet for my kids.” We follow Patton.
He is an absorbed actor who if you remember put weight for American Sniper, thus he rarely has the luxury to get in touch with himself.
He is essentially making the point he doesn’t take time out to live or feel anything but his current role.
I completely understand his emotional disconnect.
That said, he better enjoy the roses or his kids will be just like Harry Chapin’s song, He’s a lot like me song when the sin becomes the distant dad in the end.
This jerk perfectly exemplifies the me-first pro abortion believers.
It happens. More often than people like to admit. Not everybody connects with their kids right away. Not everybody connects with their kids ever.
I suppose, following obama’s example, cooper looked on his child as a burden.
It’s impossible to quantify the immense love a new parent ordinarily has for a newborn. And it only grows from there,
But cooper and his ilk are not ordinary people; they are, of course, our betters.
It’s a good quote, aside from calling his troop bastards.
"IT" ??????
A narcissistic navel-gazer. Every stupid thought that’s crossed his mind is worthy of deep contemplation by the stupid women who care about celebrities.
How many kids do you have?
0, the number I always wanted.
Who the F says this out loud ?
What an azzhole. That guy l is gonna read that one day!
What a stooge; poor kid
