After Cooper’s latest Oscars disappointment, his friends are reportedly worried that his relentless dedication to his craft and pursuit of recognition may jeopardize his budding romance with model Gigi Hadid.
Despite his impressive filmography and his efforts on “Maestro,” a biopic on Leonard Bernstein, which garnered multiple nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, the 12-time nominee’s inability to secure the coveted Oscar award has reportedly left him feeling defeated.
A source who spoke to the National Enquirer (per Radar Online) remarked, “Bradley is the unluckiest guy in Hollywood. He can make outrageous movies like ‘A Star is Born,’ ‘Joker,’ and ‘Maestro,’ but he’s not converting that into trophies.”

The dedicated filmmaker, who spent six years directing, co-producing, and starring in “Maestro,” was heavily criticized, particularly for his portrayal of Bernstein’s distinctive features using a prosthetic nose.
