“People I care about, who care about me, told me not to direct ‘A Star Is Born’, said that it would be too difficult and I should start with something easier. Luckily, I didn’t listen.” “I loved that it was really, really hard to make this film. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have the same value. And that’s always been my goal: to make something, no matter how challenging, that will be remembered.”
As Cooper discussed with ET Canada, what others have to say usually doesn’t faze him. Cooper also recalls being told that he wasn’t good looking enough to make it in the industry… clearly, that all changed during The Hangover and throughout his career. He took a big risk with A Star Is Born, one that once again paid off big time alongside Lady Gaga. That leads to the question, what is Cooper spending his massive net worth on.
