Bradley Cooper is not fond of paparazzi. If there are stars that seem to be OK when there are paparazzi around, not the 44-year-old actor. So, why does he hate them so much?
According to Gossip Cop, the A Star is Born star filed a lawsuit against the French tabloid Oops in 2015 after it published details about his then-flourishing romance with Irina Shayk. His and his kid's privacy was also breached when photographers secretly captured their snaps while they were at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Although several outlets saw their outing as a public appearance, Bradley Cooper was not aware that photos of him and his daughter were taken. These two cases were the reason behind his hate on the paparazzi.
In his guest appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2015, Bradley Cooper revealed that he got particularly frustrated with the paparazzi overseas. Norton asked him if he still got bothered by the paparazzi, to which he said that "not that much." "It's not that bad. It's more in Europe, if you go on vacation, sometimes you just get murdered," he explained.
However, Bradley Cooper didn't hate media in general. He seemed to be open and comfortable in his interviews and guest appearances. Barbara Walters called him nice; while he openly talked that he liked to wear briefs over boxers on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The only thing he hates is that when the reporters try to dig into his private life, which often has no connection to his career. He doesn't like it when his moments get published without his consent. He finds it a breach of his privacy, and he is not happy about it.
Anyhow, Bradley Cooper still shares some bits and pieces about his personal life, but he likes it more when he is the one who will choose or say what he wants in public. Despite his hate on paparazzi, he remains charming with the press - that is, if they don't create made-up stories about him.
Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper was recently spotted with Anna Wintour at Heathrow. As usual, the famed Vogue editor looked very stylish in her leather trench coat that covered her festive red dress. She completed her look with a scarf, gloves, and knee-high boots to fight the cold, per Metro Online.
Anna Wintour was walking at the airport behind Bradley Cooper, who looked dapper in his casual attire of navy blue coat, hoodie, trousers, backward cap, and trainers. The two were also both wearing sunglasses. Like a gentleman that he is, Irina Shayk's ex seemed to be carrying his pal's bags.
