Generally men who live with their mothers past the age of, say, 25 max (we are in a recession, after all) are bad news bears. That’s why Bradley Cooper – arguably rather well-to-do at this point in his career – is a bit of a conundrum. He recently admitted that he’s been living with his mother for the past two years, since his father passed away from cancer.
From Details:
DETAILS: It’s probably not something you’re planning right now, particularly since your mother is living with you at the moment. How’s that working out, by the way?
Bradley Cooper: The best way I can answer that is to say we’re surviving. Both of us. Let’s face it: It’s probably not easy for her, by the way, to be living with her son. It’s life. And right now, two years after my father’s death, this is where we are. My family is very close, and my dad dying was brutal for all of us. It was a schism, and its aftershock has not stopped. And we need each other. So here we are. But don’t get me wrong. It’s not without complications. It’s not like I live in a compound and she’s in the guesthouse. No. She’s in the next room. But here’s the thing: She’s a cool chick. We can hang, and she can roll with the punches. If that wasn’t the case, there’s no way.
Good on Bradley for having a good relationship with his mother – moms are important people in our lives and there’s no reason to grow apart just because you’re an adult. Is there anything not to like about Bradley Cooper? We’re trying to find something.
aFTER my last boyfriend…all I can say is “sick and twisted”” YUCK!!!
CAn you say, “Cerebral Narcissist?”
har haar har
He looks like a scumbag. And why do people think its cute that he lives with his mom just because he is rich ? Any other guy living with his mom at that age would be laughed at, called gay or a pedophile, and laughed outta the room by women .
How does a guy living with his mother = pedophile?
When you have that much money, I don’t understand the need for a common wall. Buy a compound, put her a few feet away and the same sentiment will still reach her. It is sweet and he’s being a good son, taking care of his mom after his father’s passing, but he can’t fill the place of her husband (which is why this comes off as a little creepy). I would totally respect a living situation like that in the short term, but after two years she needs to find a way to move forward with her life. I’m not anyone to tell anybody how to grieve, but this seems unhealthy.
Sick. The average unemployed cerebral narcissist can claim that he is ‘taking care of’ his Mother if she lives long and he’s still there in his 50’s – thus becoming “a hero”. ROFLOL. What the hell is Bradley up to with this ‘arrangement’? I’d never date him.
