No matter how much success you have, someone will always try to tear you down.
I bet many of you think Bradley Cooper is living the dream. He went from a relative unknown, asking questions during an Inside the Actor’s Studio, to one of the most heralded actors and now an Academy Award-nominated director. The guy is proving day in and out he can do whatever it takes.
Cooper appeared on a recent episode of the “SmartLess” podcast. In it, he talked about his long road through Hollywood. The conversation is revealing, powerful, and intimate.
Cooper is one of those people you can learn a lot from. One thing that struck me is his humility. He’s been at rock bottom, so he knows what it’s like to be in the highest of highs. Still, there are others waiting to tear him down.
Cooper told a story on the podcast where an unnamed famous director made a joke out of Cooper’s seven Oscar nominations. In the story, Cooper is at an afterparty and was joined by a famous actress friend who had three Oscar nominations herself.
