Why Bradley Cooper is the best dad in Hollywood

The kindest soul in Hollywood - He's not just a great dad, Cooper is apparently one of the kindest souls in Hollywood. Director Todd Phillips says Cooper is completely different from his character in 'The Hangover.' He said the actor is "ridiculously different in real life. He is very vulnerable—insecure is not the right word ... And there's a warmth to him you would never know.”
