Bradley Cooper has revealed that he uses his wealth for his friends to pay off their debts in their hard times.
The 38-year-old actor said he never let money and fame change his thinking process, reported Daily Mirror.
"There is a certain amount of disorientation. You can't relate to having more money than you ever imagined or even know how to spend or invest. It's absolutely luxury, I know that. But I don't think I've let it affect the way I live or change how I think. I still live pretty much like a nomad in going from one film shoot to another.
"I don't collect sports cars or have ambitions to own my own private jet. Making a lot of money has enabled me to help some of my closest friends pay off debts, mortgages, things like that," he said.
Cooper's said his father's death in in 2011 was a 'life-changing moment' for him and he owes everything to his father.
"Death became very real and very tangible. Because my father, someone who had been in my life for 36 years, is just gone. I was there by his bed, watching him, breathing with him, and then I saw his last breath and he was gone.
"I owe everything to my father. My father would constantly be telling me about films that he had discovered and as soon as I was old enough he'd take me. He was also a real cinephile. He turned me on to those 1970s auteur movies when I was really young.
