I didn't feel connected to my daughter — Actor Bradley Cooper talks about his relationship with his daughter with supermodel Irina Shayk

Bradley Cooper admitted he struggled to feel connected to his and Irina Shayk's daughter Lea when she was born.

The actor appeared on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast and discussed his growth as a father since welcoming his 6-year-old son in March 2017.

Cooper, 49, explained in the first few months of Lea's life that he didn't understand when other parents said, “I would die in a second for my son.”

“For the first eight months – I don’t even know if I really love the child,” he remembers feeling. “It’s too much. It's cool. I’m watching this thing transform.”

“That’s my experience,” the actor continued. “Fascinated by it. I loved taking care of it. But would I die if someone came in with a gun?”

He admitted, after only a few months of her life, that he wasn't sure.

“And then suddenly there is no doubt,” he added.

Cooper confessed shortly after explaining that he has since strived to be a better person in order to “cause as little harm as (he) could do to (his) daughter.”

“I’m not sure I’d be alive if I weren’t a father,” he said. “I just needed someone to say, like, 'Let's drop this huge anchor.'”

“I'm like, 'Why? We are speeding up! I just upgraded the boat and I know where the wind is blowing. They say, 'No, no, no, there's a tsunami coming and you need an anchor and we're going to drop it.'

“Because it will dictate everything you do from now on. Your DNA will tell you that there is something more important than you.”

Some of the actor's fans turned to X to question Cooper's comments.
