I’m old enough to be her father, actor says on the red carpet

Jennifer Lawrence recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend Nicholas Hoult and not few have been the celebrity publications to link the split to her close friendship to co-star Bradley Cooper. Below is a video with the two addressing the rumors.

Bradley was the first to be asked this question on the red carpet at the Golden Globes 2013 and, as he puts it, if it were to happen, it would have happened until now.

He and Jennifer worked together on 2 films, are excellent friends and very much love each other, but things never went beyond that, he says.

“I could be her father,” he says, exaggerating a bit. He’s 38 and she’s 22.

Jennifer too was asked the same question, and confirmed what Bradley had said: they were just good friends and had never been romantically involved.

Bradley and Jennifer worked together last on “Silver Linings Playbook,” which earned her a Golden Globe at last night’s ceremony.
