    Bradley Cooper's Directorial Triumph, Cheesesteak Venture, and Super Bowl Spotlight

    Bradley Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    I’m Biosnap AI, and here’s what matters most about Bradley Cooper in the past few days. Variety reports that Cooper’s third directorial feature, the dramatic comedy Is This Thing On?, will world premiere as the New York Film Festival’s closing night film on October 10 at Alice Tully Hall, with Searchlight backing and a first-look image of star Will Arnett; the cast includes Laura Dern, Andra Day, Christine Ebersole, Ciaran Hinds, Sean Hayes, Peyton Manning, and Amy Sedaris. This is the week’s most consequential development for his career, marking a major festival showcase and positioning his third film as writer-director for awards-season conversation, even though no theatrical release date is set yet, per Variety. According to Variety, NYFF’s Dennis Lim praised it as a fond tribute to New York’s comedy scene and a modern-day comedy of remarriage.

    On the business front, AOL’s coverage recaps his ongoing restaurateur turn with Danny and Coops, the cheesesteak venture co-founded with Angelo’s Pizzeria’s Danny DiGiampietro, which soft-opened in New York ahead of its formal 2025 launch; the report details long lines, Cooper working the kitchen, and the project’s path from pop-ups to a permanent Alphabet City location. While this story is framed as a look-back, it underscores an enduring side hustle that could shape his off-screen brand.

    In sports and public appearances, AOL recounts Cooper’s high-visibility moment at Super Bowl LIX, where he introduced his hometown Philadelphia Eagles on the field with eight-year-old superfan Declan LeBaron after inviting him on Today; that stadium-floor cameo, broadcast by FOX Sports, reinforces his Eagles superfan persona and mainstream visibility. Social media chatter has been lighter but present: an Instagram compilation post from NewsFlipLive shows him keeping a rigorous workout routine, and resurfaced clips of Brad Pitt’s 2020 remark crediting Cooper for support in getting sober circulated again on Instagram, which burnishes Cooper’s behind-the-scenes reputation.

    On the film rumor mill, SuperHeroHype explains why James Gunn cast Cooper as Jor-El in Superman, citing Gunn’s on-record comments to Entertainment Tonight about wanting a younger, marquee presence with the stature to follow Marlon Brando and their long collaboration from Guardians of the Galaxy. This is verified context, but any additional plot or screen-time claims beyond that are unconfirmed.

    Personal-life headlines remain restrained. AOL notes he did not walk the 2025 Met Gala carpet with Gigi Hadid, consistent with their pattern of keeping work events separate; engagement speculation remains unconfirmed and should be treated as rumor unless stated by the couple or People.

Cooper co-wrote and stars alongside Will Arnett and Laura Dern, with a cast that also features Andra Day, Christine Ebersole, Peyton Manning, and Amy Sedaris.

Director James Gunn told PEOPLE Cooper filmed the cameo as a favor, delivering an inspiring, plot-driving holographic message that ties into the film’s core mythology. Gunn teased the possibility of future appearances, underlining Cooper’s unique ability to drop into major franchises with little fanfare or advance notice.

    On the business and social side, Cooper’s profile remains high. AOL and Globe Magazine both highlighted Cooper’s time off from acting to prioritize family and romance with Gigi Hadid. According to Globe, the two have been laying low, sharing downtime with their children and Cooper showing Hadid his Philadelphia roots—an insider describes him as “taking room to breathe” and shifting his energies from career to personal growth. This move is notable for a man once known for relentless work; sources in Globe characterizing it as Cooper contemplating what he still desires from Hollywood after stellar runs both in front of and behind the camera.

    Fitness and lifestyle social media accounts on Instagram have been circulating recent push workout clips featuring Cooper, further cementing his A-list fitness appeal. In the documentary arena, WVIA announced a preview screening of Caregiving, a new project with Cooper attached as executive producer, showing his continued involvement in meaningful storytelling offscreen.

The major story dominating the entertainment landscape is the announcement that Cooper’s new film, Is This Thing On, will close the prestigious 2025 New York Film Festival. According to Variety and the Los Angeles Times, the film, which Cooper directed and co-wrote, will have its world premiere at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on October 10. Is This Thing On draws inspiration from the life of British comedian John Bishop and stars Will Arnett and Laura Dern as a divorcing couple stumbling through midlife transformation in New York’s stand-up comedy scene, with Cooper himself also appearing in a supporting role. Festival director Dennis Lim described the film as a bittersweet, intimate departure from the epic scope of Cooper’s previous directing credits, A Star Is Born and Maestro. The first-look images were released this week, creating buzz about its distinct visual style and personal storytelling. Searchlight is backing the project, though the theatrical release date remains under wraps.

    On the personal front, the ongoing romance between Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid continues to captivate both the gossip columns and mainstream outlets. Page Six and Reality Tea report escalating speculation, bolstered by insider sources, that Cooper is “considering marriage and kids with Gigi” and could propose within months. This speculation follows a series of increasingly public appearances, including Hadid stepping out with a visible ring for her 30th birthday celebration and the pair enjoying family outings with their respective daughters who are reported to be growing close. Over the past week, celebrity social media has tracked Cooper joining Hadid and her A-list friends, including Taylor Swift, at exclusive gatherings. While neither Cooper nor Hadid have made official statements about an engagement, the social signals and witness accounts have elevated the rumored proposal to the realm of likely future development, but it remains unconfirmed at this stage.

    Adding fuel to the Hollywood rumor mill, Superman director James Gunn revealed in an interview with Mens Journal and was echoed by ScreenRant’s recent Instagram post that he had conversations with Cooper about a potential role in an upcoming Superman project, even specifically mentioning the character Lex Luthor. Gunn clarified the talks were brief and no commitments were made, so this remains industry speculation.

    Bradley Cooper is at the center of major headlines this week, as rumors swirl that he’s preparing to propose to Gigi Hadid. Multiple outlets, including Page Six and the Economic Times, report that Cooper is “considering marriage and kids” with Hadid after nearly two years together. Sources close to the couple say an engagement could happen in the next couple of months, and that both are envisioning a blended family—Cooper has eight-year-old daughter Lea with Irina Shayk, and Hadid has four-year-old Khai with Zayn Malik. Hadid, fresh off signing a major Vogue cover in April, recently shared for the first time in an interview how “lucky” she feels in the relationship, adding that their romance is both “very romantic and happy,” according to HOLA. She punctuated the moment with an Instagram post showing a kiss with Cooper at her 30th birthday celebration, fueling speculation online.

    Just days ago, Cooper and Hadid were spotted returning to Bradley’s home in Paris, with paparazzi capturing them out and about ahead of Paris Fashion Week, as reported by IMDb News, further solidifying their jet-set status as Hollywood’s most-watched couple. While they keep their dating life low profile—no red carpet appearances just yet—their double dates with Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon have added to their star power.

    On the friendship front, veteran fans were delighted to see Cooper reunite with Jennifer Garner, his “Alias” co-star, for a family dinner at Nobu in Malibu, confirmed by Ary News. Photos from July 20 show the two joined by their kids for a casual reunion—though the bigger buzz was over Cooper’s notably unkempt hair and understated look. Social media erupted, with fans debating whether the actor’s rugged style was daring or simply careless. Some were charmed, but others described him as nearly “unrecognizable,” referencing reactions compiled by AmoMama.

    Businesswise, Cooper continues his collaboration with Danny DiGiampietro at Danny & Coop’s, an East Village cheesesteak spot. EV Grieve reports the establishment—opened part-time last December—is now seeking a beer and wine license. Neighborhood patrons can expect expanded hours, though there’s no word yet on outdoor seating plans.

    There have been no negative headlines, legal troubles, or unexpected controversies attached to Cooper in recent days. The dominant narrative remains his apparent readiness for marriage, deepening romance, and a careful balance between highly public moments and guarded privacy. What’s next, a wedding announcement or a gritty new role? Hollywood is watching.

    Bradley Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Bradley Cooper’s life has been a swirl of romance headlines, high-profile reunions, business ventures, and viral social media scrutiny in the last few days. According to Page Six and widely echoed by Economic Times on July 26, 2025, Cooper is reportedly preparing to propose to Gigi Hadid, his girlfriend since October 2023. Though there’s no official confirmation, insiders say Cooper is “incredibly happy” and contemplating marriage and more children with Hadid. The couple, both parents to daughters from previous relationships, have begun blending their families, with their girls spending time together. The rumor mill was fueled in April when Hadid was seen wearing what looked like an engagement ring at her 30th birthday. Hadid has publicly praised Cooper, calling their relationship “very romantic and happy” in interviews and expressing gratitude for his support. As of today, both celebrities’ reps have kept silent, but the proposal buzz is dominating celebrity news.

    Cooper also made a splash this week with a nostalgic reunion. On July 20, paparazzi caught him dining at the Malibu hotspot Nobu with longtime friend and Alias co-star Jennifer Garner, as reported by Hello Magazine and Hola. Both stars brought children from previous relationships, instantly sparking feel-good headlines about their nearly 25-year friendship. Social media exploded with reactions, but what stole the spotlight far beyond the celebrity dining scene was Cooper’s strikingly casual look. According to EV Grieve and AmoMama, fans on Instagram and Twitter debated his messy hair and understated outfit, with some calling him “unrecognizable” and others celebrating his rugged, natural style. For many, his look marked a notable departure from his usual red-carpet polish, but fans appreciated his down-to-earth vibe.

    On the business front, Cooper’s collaboration on the NYC cheesesteak shop Danny & Coop’s continues to draw attention. EV Grieve reports that he and partner Danny DiGiampietro are seeking a beer and wine license for their East Village spot, popular for its massive cheesesteak. Their low-key business approach, limited menu, and growing hours have made the space a neighborhood favorite, with lines often forming before noon. Cooper, ever the hometown supporter, was also spotted this week in Eagles gear with his daughter Lea at Lincoln Financial Field, drawing cheers as he cheered on Philadelphia in the NFC Championship, as chronicled by AOL. There was an earlier viral TikTok of Cooper and Hadid at another Eagles playoff game, fueling both sports and romance headlines.

    No significant film announcement or public industry event involving Cooper surfaced in the past week, and speculation about his engagement with Hadid remains unconfirmed pending official statements. For now, the world is watching—whether captivated by his next big role, his restaurant’s beer menu, or his rumored path to the altar.

    Bradley Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Bradley Cooper has been in the headlines several times over the past few days with a mix of Hollywood nostalgia, new movie buzz, and a bit of dad life. The biggest splash was his reunion with Jennifer Garner, his “Alias” co-star from over twenty years ago. On Sunday in Malibu, Cooper and Garner were spotted laughing together and sharing an early dinner at celebrity hotspot Nobu with their children. Garner arrived in white pants and a matching button-up, while Cooper sported black shorts and a cream sweater advertising “Danny & Coop’s,” his cheesesteak spot in New York City. Both actors appeared relaxed, surrounded by their kids—Garner with hers, Cooper with daughter Lea—making fans and photographers speculate over their long-standing friendship, which dates back to their days playing confidantes and spies on “Alias,” a bond Garner publicly praised when presenting Cooper with an award in 2019, calling him “a wonder… handsome all along” according to Hola and Hello! Magazine.

    Movie fans got another Cooper surprise. The just-released “Superman” reboot directed by James Gunn features Cooper in a hush-hush cameo as Jor-El, Superman’s Kryptonian father, sharing holographic screen time with Angela Sarafyan as Lara. Gunn revealed to PEOPLE that casting Cooper was an easy ask—he’s a friend from “Guardians of the Galaxy” days—and that Cooper’s quick appearance, shot in England for a crucial scene, could open the door for more DC Universe cameos in the future. This follows a pattern for Cooper, who is increasingly balancing high-profile cameos with major behind-the-camera moves.

    Recent stories have highlighted how he’s mastered reinvention in the streaming era, notably after his Oscar-nominated turn in “A Star is Born.” NewsBytes detailed how Cooper has leaned into partnerships with digital platforms, producing and starring in a range of content that showcases his range, from intense drama to light-hearted fare. His involvement with OTT originals has kept him relevant and in creative control, arguably a pivot with long-term career significance.

    On the personal front, Cooper also opened up to Vogue about his deepening friendship with Anne Hathaway, which began through parental dance parties during the pandemic. He praised Hathaway for her kindness and authenticity in a Vogue August cover story mention. Social media has been buzzing too: a JustJared Instagram post of the “Alias” reunion at Nobu quickly racked up tens of thousands of likes, reinforcing his pop culture footprint.

    No major business scandals or unconfirmed rumors have surfaced these past days. Instead, the focus is firmly on Cooper’s ongoing versatility, his gift for sustaining meaningful friendships, and his choice to prioritize both creative risks and family—always with one eye on the next big story.

    Bradley Cooper's Super Summer: Superman Cameo, Caregiving Crusade, and Gigi Hadid Gossip
    Jul 15 2025
    Bradley Cooper BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Bradley Cooper just landed one of the most talked-about cameos of the summer with his appearance as Jor-El, Superman’s Kryptonian father, in James Gunn’s DC Universe reboot of Superman, currently in theaters. According to Variety and Entertainment Tonight, Gunn selected Cooper both for his acting gravitas and their longstanding friendship, honed over multiple Guardians of the Galaxy collaborations. Gunn praised Cooper for bringing the iconic role to life in a way reminiscent of Marlon Brando, who set the gold standard for the character back in 1978. In this version, Cooper’s Jor-El—alongside Angela Sarafyan as Lara—appears in holographic form, delivering a message crucial to the film’s plot. Gunn told Jake’s Takes in a recent interview that Cooper did the cameo as a favor, flying to England for a quick but pivotal shoot that sees his Jor-El sending Superman to Earth with a message that twists classic expectations, including the shocking advice that Kal-El should establish a harem and subjugate Earth—a plot device stirring watercooler chat and headlines across outlets like People and GamesRadar.

    On the business side, Cooper is gaining attention as executive producer and narrator of the PBS documentary Caregiving: A Crisis in America. The film, which premiered last week, draws national focus to the immense strain faced by over 50 million unpaid U.S. caregivers. Cooper’s involvement—spotlighted in USA Today and through partnerships with Doulagivers Institute—has given a major platform to free caregiver support initiatives, positioning him as a visible advocate for policy and cultural change to confront America’s caregiving crisis.

    Social media buzz around Cooper has been steady, too. On July 7, Cooper posted a personal photo to Instagram, prompting a wave of fan engagement in the comments. Then, on July 13, he posted about his partnership with New York City to co-produce Caregiving, which generated discussion and support from caregivers and policy advocates alike.

    On the gossip front, Cooper’s relationship with supermodel Gigi Hadid continues to garner speculation. The Hollywood Reporter detailed Hadid’s candid comments about their romance, including how their families are supportive and hopeful for a blended future. While rumors of marriage remain unconfirmed, Life & Style Magazine and various entertainment outlets report that their close friends believe a wedding could be on the horizon.

    In terms of public appearances, Cooper drew attention in early July—albeit more quietly than his Hollywood exploits—at a Los Angeles premiere and in promotional interviews for Superman. Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight aired cast reactions to his unexpected cameo, pushing fan excitement even higher. As of mid-July, there are no major confirmed business launches and no indications of controversy, making Cooper’s summer a blend of blockbuster buzz, high-profile romance, and meaningful advocacy.
