Perhaps the most memorable moment of the 2019 Oscars was when Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga performed the song \u201cShallow\u201d from their film, A Star Is Born. The performance was so passionate, fans speculated that real sparks were flying between the two onstage. At the time, Gaga addressed the romance rumors by saying, \u201cYes, people saw love and\u2014guess what\u2014that\u2019s what we wanted you to see.\u201d And now, Cooper has expanded on those intentions in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to THR, Cooper\u2019s emotive presence onstage was in part a strategy to help \u201cmanage his own fears about singing live.\u201d While singing with Gaga, the actor imagined himself in the scene from the movie during which Jackson Maine, Cooper\u2019s character, brings Gaga\u2019s Ally onstage for a first-time duet that would propel Ally into stardom and the two into romance. Reliving the scene helped the actor transport himself away from stage fright and lose himself in the performance. \u201cJust from a personal standpoint, it reduces the anxiety level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also a way for him to bring dynamism to the live performance. \u201cThey kind of fall in love in that scene in the film. It\u2019s that explosive moment that happens to happen to them on a stage in front of thousands of people,\u201d Cooper added. \u201cIt would have been so weird if we were both on stools facing the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further affirming that the performance was simply powerful acting, Gaga told ELLE in November 2019, \u201cQuite frankly, I think the press is very silly. I mean, we made a love story. For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course we wanted people to believe that we were in love. And we wanted people to feel that love at the Oscars. We wanted it to go right through the lens of that camera and to every television that it was being watched on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooper, who directed the 2018 film, is still talking about his respect for Gaga as an artist. Elsewhere in the THR interview, he praised her for the immense talent and drive she brought to the project. \u201cShe\u2019s just so terribly charismatic and beautiful,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I met her, I thought, \u2018If I can just harness that \u2026 then it\u2019s just for me to mess up.\u2019 But then, when we started working together, I realized, \u2018Oh, oh, the sky\u2019s the limit in terms of what she\u2019s able to do and her commitment level.’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the movie\u2019s release in October 2018, Cooper was dating supermodel Irina Shayk, while Gaga was in a relationship with Creative Artists talent agent Christian Carino. Gaga is currently with Michael Polansky, a board member of San Francisco\u2019s Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. As for Cooper? Nobody knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
