Bradley Cooper recently demonstrated his commitment to fatherhood in a strikingly real moment.
During a press conference in New York City for his latest movie “Maestro,” Bradley had to make an unexpected exit upon receiving an urgent call from his daughter Lea’s school nurse.
Caught off guard, he addressed the situation with professionalism and concern, saying, “So sorry. The school nurse just called me,” as reported by the Daily Mail.
His next request was a testament to his prioritization of fatherly duties: “Can I just leave the room for a second to call them back and you can keep going? Is that all right?”
Returning briefly to the stage, Bradley explained the necessity of his departure. He had to attend to his six-year-old daughter at school for a matter that required his personal attention.

Bradley shares joint custody of Lea with his ex-girlfriend, Irina Shayk, 37. The couple, who dated from 2015 to 2019, has been navigating co-parenting since their split.
