Bradley Cooper forced to stay home amid pandemic in bid to protect elderly mum

Bradley Cooper has spent the best part of lockdown holed up at home in a desperate bid to protect his near 80-year-old mum from the coronavirus.

The Hollywood actor – who shares three-year-old daughter Lea with ex Irina Shayk – opened up on what it took for him to make sure his mum Gloria wouldn’t be exposed to the deadly bug.

Bradley, 45, revealed he’s been house-bound over recent months as he detailed the challenges being holed up at home can present.

Speaking to Interview mag, The Hangover star explained: “I’m with my daughter and my mother and my two dogs, and we have not left the house.”

He went on: “My mother is going to be 80, and she has a colostomy bag, so I can’t let anybody in the house.

“And I can’t leave the house, because if she gets it, it’s over.”

Bradley has also been trying to keep his daughter entertained throughout lockdown, as has revealed he’s doing everything he can to keep her busy.

The actor – who lost his dad to lung cancer back in 2011 – joked he’s running a “one-man pre-school” from home.

He said: “We live in a little townhouse, thankfully there’s a backyard. I’m running a one-man pre-school. We get up, we do swim class in the bathtub.”

It seems as though the interview took place earlier this summer, as Bradley has since been spotted out and about in Los Angeles.

The Hollywood heartthrob was seen catching up with actress Jennifer Garner as the pair headed to a beach after recently splitting from their respective love interests.

Jen was spied on the beach in Malibu earlier this month as she joined Bradley and his daughter Lea for a fun day out.

The actress – who shares three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck – reportedly broke up with 42-year-old businessman boyfriend John Miller one day before her outing with Brad, following two years of romance.

Bradley split from Russian model Irina in 2019 after four years together.

And although the two are said to have been “friends forever”, fans are now convinced that the pair might be somewhat more than that.

However despite the rumours, the pair have always insisted they’re just pals.
