Dax Shepard still remembers the crucial advice Bradley Cooper gave him before he met the woman who would become his wife. It was during a recent public interview at the New Yorker Festival that the 49-year-old actor and podcaster revealed how his friend Bradley Cooper helped him overcome his relationship problems.
At the time, Dax Shepard was dating a woman “who had more status and money” than him. A situation which caused regular conflicts about which he regularly confided in the star of Very Bad Trip.
Advice that hit the mark
“He said to me, ‘Wow, if she had said that to me, I would feel really diminished and bad about myself,’” Dax Shepard recalled during this interview transcribed by People. “And I was like, ‘Wow, that’s exactly how I feel, but you can’t say that to a woman.’ »
But faced with this reluctance, Bradley Cooper gave him some surprising advice: “Look, you’re clearly going to break up with this girl. So why not practice on it? Like, tell him, “When you said that, I felt like that.” »
What followed was a conversation with this ex who was so liberating for Dax Shepard that he no longer had problems expressing his feelings within his relationships. A big step forward which obviously made the difference when he met Kristen Bell, his current wife.
