Did Bradley Cooper Shade Cillian Murphy? New Drama Alert!

The glamour of the 2000s is making a comeback in our daily lives with Hollywood icons Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy. However, this resurgence comes with a different twist, as the toxic celebrity culture of that era seems to be making an unwelcome return.

While the return of low-rise jeans may only induce shudders in millennials who wore them in high school, the haunting memories of the toxic celebrity culture from that time are resurfacing. The hope was for a revival filled with joint movie promotions and carefully orchestrated romance speculations, all managed by PR teams and aligning with actors’ wishes.

Bradley Cooper, known for his role in ‘Hangover,’ is currently in the spotlight while promoting his directorial effort, ‘Maestro.’ The film, where he stars alongside Carey Mulligan and Matt Bomer, has garnered critical acclaim, with an Oscar nomination on the horizon.

However, fans are speculating that success may have gone to Cooper’s head, pointing to his recent comments in a Variety ‘Actors on Actors’ feature. Paired with Emma Stone for an interview, Cooper discussed the extensive preparation required for his role as Leonard Bernstein in ‘Maestro.’ While this wouldn’t raise eyebrows on its own, fans couldn’t help but notice the striking similarity to Cillian Murphy’s previous remarks about preparing for ‘Oppenheimer.’

Murphy, in previous interviews, had described his experience as receiving a call and shooting in six months—a narrative Cooper seemed to echo with unsettling precision. Whether a deliberate dig or an unfortunate coincidence, the internet is buzzing with speculation.

Fans have not taken these comments lightly. One tweet suggesting subtle shade at Murphy has gone viral, accumulating over 2.5 million views. Another user offered a more personal take on Cooper, asserting, “My dad once said that no one in the history of movies wants an Oscar more than Bradley Cooper and it’s probably the most accurate statement ever.”
