Bradley Cooper sees no shame in nudity. And he has his father to thank for that. “My dad was always nude,” he said in the “Armchair Expert” interview (via E! News). His childhood experience inspired him to act the same way in front of Lea. But Cooper took it a step further than his old man, extending it to his bodily functions as well. When nature calls, he has no issues doing it in front of his daughter. He didn’t learn that from his father. “I didn’t grow up that way. At all,” he said.
Instead, his no-shame game is thanks to big-city living. “The bathtub and toilet and bed are all in the same room,” he said of his New York City home, adding: “We talk where I’m on the toilet, she’s in the bathtub. That’s sort of the go-to.” Cooper’s revelations divided opinions, including among the co-hosts of “The View.” While Ana Navarro has a problem with nudity in front of children, Sara Haines believes it teaches kids important lessons. “I’ve made a deliberate effort for [my children] to not feel shamed of their bodies,” she said.
Cooper and Irina Shayk do seem interested in teaching Lea self-love — and are apparently succeeding. “She’ll say, ‘I love Daddy so much, I love Mama so much, I love Nana, I love Babulya—’ who is my mom. Then she goes, ‘And I really love myself,'” Shayk wrote in Harper’s Bazaar.
