Bradley Cooper left Leonard Bernstein behind this weekend, trading the Maestro for another iconic Cooper character: Jackson Maine. The actor and eternal awards hopeful took the stage at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival Saturday, where he joined Disney cover band Pearl Jam on stage for two songs. The star (is born) turn followed a weekend of Cooper sightings at the event, including a slow dance with Gigi Hadid as Stevie Nicks sang onstage, and a cooking demonstration with NBA great Steph Curry. (Hmm, maybe that means he’s revisiting Burnt, too?)
Bradley Cooper’s BottleRock weekend began Friday, Us reports, when social media users spotted him “dancing throughout” that night’s headlining act, Stevie Nicks. It’s the second NorCal jaunt for the couple in about a month, as the pair—along with a little-known duo named Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce—visited the coastal community of Carmel for an April couples getaway.
The “music/food/wine/brew” festival continued for the sobriety proponent on Saturday with a scheduled onstage appearance at the event’s culinary stage. The SF Chronicle reports that the trifecta of Cooper, Golden State Warrior point guard Curry, and World Central Kitchen’s José Andrés drew the largest crowds the fest’s food-focused stage has ever seen, with a 45-minute performance that included Philly cheesesteaks tossed into the crowd, a basket contest between Curry and Cooper (Curry missed three shots), and an “impromptu duet” of Star is Born signature song “Shallow” between Andrés and Cooper.
Did that quickfire turn back into rock star life whet Cooper’s Maine whistle? Maybe that’s why, in a surprise appearance, Cooper joined Saturday night headliners Pearl Jam to perform “Maybe It’s Time,” another song from the 2018 movie.
