Bradley Cooper says fatherhood has changed him in ''every way'' as it has allowed him to live without ''fear of judgement''.
The 44-year-old A Star is Born actor welcomed his daughter Lea De Seine into the world in March 2017 with his girlfriend Irina Shayk, and has said becoming a father has had a positive impact on his life.
When asked if becoming a parent has changed him on The Ellen Degeneres Show, he said: ''Yeah. In like, every way. It allowed me to embrace my childlike self without any sort of fear of judgment.''
Cooper has said he loves how being a dad allows him to watch cartoons without feeling like he's ''wasting'' his life.
''I can just play with toys all day long ... or watch cartoons endlessly and not think I'm wasting my life. I love cartoons," he added.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star says he has mixed feelings about his little girl's future and how she might cope with the ''burden of life''.
''You think [about] what she's got to look forward to and also the burden of life. It's a lot. The innocence is beautiful to see.''
Cooper recently said his daughter reminds him of his father Charles, who passed away in 2011.
He said: ''[Having a family has] changed everything. Our daughter, she's incredible. And I see my father in her quite often.
''I can't believe I'm gonna admit this, but I had moments when ... I was in the room with her, I would say, 'Dad?' There are some moments where she looks just like my father. I watch too many movies.''
