What is Bradley Cooper's unique habit?

During the episode, it was revealed that ‘The Hangover’ star could not talk without closing his eyes.



 

The revelation came as Cooper reportedly told Stone, “I do want to talk about your immense talent. Is that OK?”

But instead of answering his question, the ‘La La Land’ actress asked him, “Why are your eyes so closed?”

The 48-year-old actor replied, “Because I realized as I’ve gotten more comfortable with myself, I think better when my eyes are closed. Just deal with it, dude.”

Stone said, “All right, fine. I’m going to do it too,” as Cooper questioned her, “Tell me it doesn’t feel good.”

However, the Academy Award-winning actress could not do it for long as she added, “It actually does feel good. I’ll fall asleep if I do it for too long.”
