Bradley Cooper and Suki Waterhouse
Bradley Cooper is grateful the paparazzi haven't been hounding him while he's been out in public with his girlfriend Suki Waterhouse.
Cooper has been romancing the British model since meeting her at a party in London in February 2013 and is relieved people have respected their privacy so far.
He told France's Gala magazine: "I don't know why, but up until now the paparazzi have mostly left us alone. We've not been hounded like wild animals. I appreciate that. I hope it lasts!"
The 39-year-old actor is extremely close to his mother, Gloria, who moved into his Los Angeles house a few years ago following the death of his father, and says being the "baby" of the family has worked in his advantage.
Bradley said: "She is a very big part of my life. To be honest, I'm the baby of a Catholic family from Philadelphia and I definitely made the most of the situation. My parents, who come from Ireland and Italy, were much more strict with my older sister. I was able to do what I wanted, no one really set any rules for me."
The handsome star also admitted he is a pro in the kitchen and loves cooking for his family.
Asked about his secret talent, Bradley replied: "Being a good chef. I owe it to my grandmother. From the age of 15, and for a few years after that, I worked in a restaurant. I love having my family over for dinner and making lovely meals for them. I'm especially good at cooking turkey!"
