He is one of the hottest men in Hollywood so it’s not surprising that Bradley Cooper isn’t willing to settle for any old date at the Oscars.

Apparently the Silver Linings Playbook star will be accompanied by none other than his mum at this year’s event.

While we’ll admit that we half-expected him to take Jennifer Lawrence, who he was recently linked to, we think it’s a very sweet gesture.

 

Bradley was rumoured to be interested in his Silver Linings Playbook co-star.

“I am taking Gloria yes. I hope so anyway,” he told People magazine before adding that she was in two minds about going.

“A couple of days ago she threatened not to go,” the 38-year-old actor explained. Em, we’d like to point out that we’ll be free on February 24th if it’s any help?

 

The actor is apparently single after his relationship with Zoe Saldana came to an end.

Cooper also commented on the recent rumours that he had been dumped by model Laura Simpson because of his obsession with her feet.

“Apparently I’m shirtless while Soul Cycling and then high-flying after being heartbroken by a model who I send pictures of my feet… It’s just unbelievable.”

... Sorry, we missed everything that came after shirtless!
