My favorite parts of this interview is Bradley Cooper giving recognition to his cinematographer, his voice coach, etc.. Nice to see such class on display.

The way he carries himself and speaks really just looks like the epitome of what an American actor should be, you know? He understands and appreciates film and the culture surrounding it, he respects the people he works with and constantly is putting them on a pedestal because he is a humble man, and not to mention he is pretty attractive LOL. It’s always a pleasure to see him in an interview and it was truly a pleasure to see him with Stephen Colbert, of course!

The funny thing is I didn't even liked Bradley Cooper when I went to see his movie. I thought that he was just another pretty face in this industry. But he went so deep with this story that I fell in love with his character. And now A star is born is my favourite movie of all time. I can't believe how genius it is. Incredible piece of Art.

It's really amazing to see him come such a long way, he still seems so nice and humble.

[mamabagaskara]

the only part of the Oscar that I actually want to see Bradley sings!!!

Bradley Cooper: master of compliment deflection.

[Nazaba]

Every time he says ‘Jackson’s gone’ a fairy somewhere dies. 😥

*I loved Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in the movie ♥️♥️, There chemistry was just lit🔥🔥*

[lindsay-bay]

absolutely phenomenal, he was outstanding in ASIB..and now I see that he was robbed at the Oscars.. he did a fabulous job as Jackson Main, and did his own signing, wow.

[NewtFidoScamander]

He’s so fucking astonishing as Jackson Maine. I’ve loved him forever but this is a transformative performance.

[CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

He got robbed of that director's nomination BIG TIME. Screw them for not recognizing him in that department.

[missisfreddiemercury]

He is the cutest man in Hollywood, seriously. And a great actor.

[samdaham]

It was so interesting to hear Bradley's thought process when directing the film, I wish there was more of that

[TheHeartOne]

Bradley Cooper! I can hardly wait to see "A Star is Born!" I have watched the song, "Shallow, " and it is beautiful!!! Blessings!

[BlakieTT]

I love this man, maybe too much xD The dude *is* GENUINE HUMILITY and talent. I cannot thank him enough for "A Star Is Born". ♥

[cherie]

He just seems so real & down to earth . I want to hang out with him lol.... great talent! Looking forward to the oscars because of him & LG.

[kellykim]

What a gentleman and a true movie star we need more of him

[jollylollyjune]

I love Jackson's character too much. It helps me feel better by knowing the fact that part of Jackson still lives inside Bradley. If Brafley is fine, Jackson is fine as well. So hearing him saying Jackson's gone, it hurts.

[inthemix]

he is so gifted and humble.  if he hadn't had to deal with alcoholism when he was young i wonder if he would be that humble

[lorenzo]

I can tell by the look in his eye, by his demeanor, Bradley (much like myself) loves Stephen and his sense of humor!
