Bradley Cooper says he 'wouldn't be alive' if it wasn't for 6-year-old daughter
Bradley Cooper made a stark admission about his six-year-old daughter Lea De Seine.
Shared with ex Irina Shayk, the Maestro actor's first and only child was born all the way back in March 2017, a life-changing moment for Bradley. He's credited the youngster, who appears in his latest flick, for providing him with a purpose.
Getting candid about becoming a father, the 49-year-old writer-director-producer-actor explained: "I'm not sure I'd be alive if I wasn't a dad." Bradley made the admission as he appeared on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepherd last Monday.

The actor went through a tough first year with Lea (FilmMagic)Speaking on his life before becoming a dad, Cooper said: "I just needed someone to say, 'We're gonna drop this massive anchor', and I’m like, 'Why?

"And they're like, 'No, there's a tsunami coming, and you need an anchor and we're gonna drop it. This is going to dictate everything you do from now on." He hasn't always felt this close to his firstborn, revealing he struggled with Lea's first few months.
He said that parents would tell him, "I would die in a second for my kid." But, Bradley admitted: "The first eight months, I was like, 'I don’t even know if I really love the kid, it's dope. It's cool'." He joked: "And then all of a sudden it's like no question. … Your DNA is going to tell you there's something more important than you."
Speaking of Lea's life now, Bradley explained she wants her to "have as much foundation as she can". The Oscar-nominee added: "I think about how my relationship with my daughter impacts her growth and the journey she’s gonna be on. The least amount of damage I can do to my daughter — please let me work on myself."
