Bradley Cooper Just Reflected On Spending COVID-19 Lockdowns With Anne Hathaway

Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway's COVID-19 Lockdowns

While COVID-19 might feel like a distant memory now, it turns out there are some tidbits of information from five years ago that we still have to learn, like how close Anne Hathaway and Bradley Cooper became in what was arguably one of the world’s most impressive lockdown bubbles.

Anne previously shared some insight into this time when she delivered a speech in Bradley’s honor at the National Board of Review in January 2024, where she told the crowd: “Bradley and I became friends during the pandemic, when he invited my family over for pizza, which I have to mention, he made himself.”

“As I watched Bradley make pizza for, like, 20 adults and countless clamoring children, never breaking his rhythm, focus, or his connection to whomever he was speaking with, I was struck by how rare a creature Bradley is,” the star added at the time.

And now, Bradley has returned the compliments tenfold as he fully lifted the lid on bonding with Anne and her family during COVID, with the two stars connecting because they were both based in Manhattan at the time.

“We started hanging out as parents, having dance parties with children in my kitchen, and I fell in love with both of them,” he added of Anne and Adam, whose marriage he is clearly in awe of.

In fact, Bradley said that Anne’s marriage is “an emblem for that kind of commitment” because she and Adam “enrich” one another. Bradley also noted that the couple’s household is incredibly “normal,” adding: “I hate to use that word. But you’ve met Anne: She’s very present and grounded, I’ll put it that way. And kind.”

Anne shared a glimpse into how she would have spent the COVID lockdowns later on in the article, where she told Vogue that her favorite thing to do is hang out with her husband, kids, and friends.

Needless to say, Anne and Adam sound like exactly the kind of neighbors you want to have when in the midst of a global pandemic — let me know your thoughts on Anne and Bradley’s COVID bubble in the comments below!
