Bradley Cooper became a father a few years ago, but it wasn't always smooth sailing.
Appearing on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast (via PageSix), Cooper recalled raising his daughter. Early on, he didn't feel connected to the baby.
“The first eight months — I don't even know if I really love the kid,” Cooper revealed. “It's dope. It's cool. I'm watching this thing morph.
“That's my experience. [I'm] fascinated by it. [I] loved taking care of it. But would I die if someone came in with a gun?” he continued.
However, with time, it became easier. And now, Cooper says it's “no question” that he loves his daughter.
