Bradley Cooper Would Trade Getting More Oscars for a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Win

As an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, Bradley Cooper seems to have his priorities in check. During Monday's episode of The Howard Stern Show, the actor — who directed and stars in the Netflix film Maestro — revealed that he'd rather trade potential Oscars for an Eagles Super Bowl win.

"Here’s the big question, and I really want you to answer in a serious manner," Stern said. "Sophie’s Choice for 2024. You win the Oscar, not only for Best Director but also for Best Actor and Carrie [Mulligan] wins Best Actress. Or, an Eagles Super Bowl victory."

"Eagles Super Bowl victory," he quickly responded.

"You’re lying," Stern said.

"I don’t think so, bro," Cooper said.

"You know you live in New York now, right?" Stern said, to which Cooper laughed.

Cooper — who plays legendary composer Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming Netflix filmm Maestro — had received some backlash for his use of a prosthetic nose in the film.

While some criticized Cooper and the film for leaning into the concept of "Jewface," the actor defended the decision during an appearance on CBS Mornings last week, saying, "My nose is very similar to Lenny's, actually."

"I thought, 'Maybe we don't need to do it,'" Cooper continued, "because we could take down time of prep. But it's all about balance. My lips are nothing like Lenny's, and my chin. We just had to do it, otherwise I couldn't believe he's a human being."

In the actor's defense, Bernstein's own children wrote a letter of support for Cooper which read: "Bradley Cooper included the three of us along every step of his amazing journey as he made his film about our father. We were touched to the core to witness the depth of his commitment, his loving embrace of our father's music, and the sheer open-hearted joy he brought to his exploration."

Cooper called the backing of Bernstein's family "very moving," noting, "The truth is, I've done this whole project out of love. It's so clear to me where I come from."

Maestro is now showing in select theaters and will hit Netflix Dec. 20.
