Bradley Cooper talks about an incident

The terrible experience, which he will remember for the rest of his life, was felt by Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper in October 2019. He experienced the trauma in New York, the city where he lives, at a time when he was on his way to pick up his daughter Lea de Seine from kindergarten.

‘Until there was a pandemic, I used to walk around New York with headphones on. So it was that day, I went to the subway at 11:45 to pick up Lea at the Russian school she attends, and in the end, I was detained and they threatened me with a knife ', revealed the guest in the new podcast' Armchair Expert '46-year-old Bradley Cooper.

'It was pretty crazy. That’s when I realized I was too relaxed in that city. My bodyguard was not there, and I was at the very end of the subway. I always stood at the very end. Then I felt someone approaching me and the first thing I thought was that someone wanted to take a photo with me. When I turned around, I saw him holding a knife in his hand. I had headphones on my ears the whole time and I didn’t hear anything, I was just listening to music. Then I looked that person in the eye and was speechless when I realized how young he was.

Although he was always taught never to run away from the knife, at that moment he raised his elbow to defend himself and began to run towards the exit.

‘I just started running, I skipped the toll door and hid behind the door. I took out my cell phone and managed to take a picture of him the moment he was running away. Then I started chasing him, and he fled on Seventh Avenue. I took two more photos of him and then stopped the police officers in the car and showed them the pictures. They just asked me if I was stabbed and asked me to make sure I wasn’t stabbed. After that, I went back to the subway and went to get my daughter, ' Cooper recalled.
