Bradley Cooper‘s daughter is reminding him of another person he loved dearly.
“[Having a family has] changed everything. Our daughter, she’s incredible. And I see my father in her quite often,” Cooper, 44, said of his first child with girlfriendIrina Shayk.
“I can’t believe I’m gonna admit this, but I had moments when … I was in the room with her, I would say, ‘Dad?’ ” he continued. “There are some moments where she looks just like my father. I watch too many movies.”

A Star Is Bornis the first project Cooper has slowed down for — something he attributes to his new family.
“The one thing that I know in the future is: It’s worth all the time to dedicate, even if one piece of art comes out of it in a half a decade, that would still be incredible as long as I can feel like it’s the movie I wanted to make, which is this movie,” hetoldNPRin September.
Cooper continued, “So I guess having a child, and having a family of my own — which is a miracle andsomething I’ve always dreamt of— has opened me up even more, I guess, to the day, and to be present.”
