However, as is often the case, there were also critics who tried to suggest that Cooper’s choice to bring his mother to the Oscars was anything but a sweet, commendable gesture. Shockingly, some even went so far as to label it “creepy.”
“Again?? Cmon, it’s getting kinda creepy,” one person commented on People’s Instagram post of Cooper and his mom. “Again? Getting kinda weird now,” another person chimed in. “Good grief, can’t he get another date?…Mama’s boy,” a third added.
Now, it should be noted that we see absolutely nothing wrong with a celebrity choosing to bring their mother to arguably the world’s most prestigious awards ceremony. If I were in Cooper’s shoes, my mother might be the first person I would ask to join me!
According to reports, Cooper and Campano share a special bond, as reflected in the fact that she recently moved into her son’s LA home. “I love having my mother living with me. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Cooper shared. The actor reportedly often invites his mother to accompany him on some of his travels as well.
