Bradley Cooper is one of the best and most well-known actors in the world at this point in time and has aspirations at the highest heights of the film-making world. But at the end of the day, it’s all about the Birds.
The native Pennsylvanian is a die-hard Eagles fan and his fandom was put to the test in a recent interview with Howard Stern on SiriusXM radio. Cooper, whose movie Maestro just released, was given what was supposed to be an impossible choice but answered in true Eagles fan fashion. Stern asked him if he’d take winning Oscars for best actor and director for the film while his co-star Carey Mulligan won an Oscar for best actress or if he’d rather Philadelphia win this season’s Super Bowl.
Cooper didn’t even let him finish the question.
Three Oscars for his new movie or an @Eagles Super Bowl?

“Eagles Super Bowl victory,” Cooper said. “Eagles. Eagles. I’m sick . . . I’m not lying.”
It’s worth noting that Cooper has been nominated for best actor three times and best supporting actor once but has never won an Oscar. Meanwhile, the Eagles won a Super Bowl less than six years ago against the Patriots in February 2018. He has also been nominated for an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay and three of his films were nominated for best picture only to never win a single time.
