Following his father's death, Bradley Cooper appeared in several renowned films, including, "Silver Linings Playbook," "American Hustle," and "American Sniper." In 2018, Cooper received acclaim for directing and starring as washed-up star Jackson Maison in a remake of "A Star Is Born." Cooper has said Eddie Vedder inspired his role in the film. However, Cooper disclosed to The New York Times that his father's death also played a part in the film. The publication states that Cooper was first approached to do "A Star Is Born" by Clint Eastwood in 2011, but he was not interested because "I just hadn't lived enough. I just knew it."
He noted that this view shifted after he witnessed his father dying. His life was completely different, and a few years later, he felt prepared to take on the role, saying, "I could see it on my face. I just felt it." As Eastwood was by then no longer involved in the film, Cooper subsequently took the reins himself. "A Star Is Born" became one of the biggest films of 2018. The movie, which also starred Lady Gaga, was nominated for several awards, and Cooper received an Oscar nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.
