Talk about a grandma's boy!
Bradley Cooper’s Favorite Meal Is One of His Grandmother’s Recipes
Published on May 16, 2025
Bradley Cooper wears a lot of hats, and he looks great in all of them. He’s a Philadelphia Eagles super fan, he’s involved in various charities that help families impacted by cancer and, of course, a very talented actor. His screen credits are vast and varied; die-hard Sex and the City fans know his very first TV role was on the show.
I’d be surprised if you haven’t caught him in a movie over the last two decades. From Silver Linings Playbook to A Star Is Born, he’s got a whopping 12 Oscar nominations to his name. Personally, I think his best performance was lending his voice to Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy, but we can compare notes another time.
It was during press for his movie Burnt that he revealed something very touching. Apparently, his grandma has served as a big source of inspiration in his life.
What is Bradley Cooper’s favorite meal?
“What would you eat as your last meal on Earth?” is the question he was asked during an interview with People. His response? “My grandmother’s cheesecake.”
It’s not just the cheesecake that stood out to Bradley. Apparently, he has a ton of memories of his grandmother making pasta as well. She inspired a lot of his approach while filming Burnt. “My grandmother always had flour caked in her engagement ring,” he said. That detail was woven into a conversation in the movie.
It’s clear that Bradley Cooper takes acting, cooking and his family seriously. I love hearing men praise the culinary talents of the women around them. Ryan Gosling has had nothing but amazing things to say about one of his mother-in-law’s recipes, which he describes as “angels crying on your tongue.” So, if you’re a Hollywood heartthrob who wants to become even more swoon-worthy, I highly recommend talking about how much you love your mother’s recipes!
