He only wanted another look at her.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga reunited at the 2022 SAG Awards on Sunday night, where they are both nominated.
Cooper smiles from ear to ear as he approaches Gaga in the audience for a sweet moment in photos of the “A Star Is Born” co-stars.
Fans were smitten by the former coworkers’ connection in the 2018 film and subsequent press tour, during which many believed they were more than pals.
At the 2019 Oscars, Gaga, 35, and Cooper, 47, sang such an intense duet of their song “Shallow” that the “Bad Romance” singer had to deny relationship rumors.
“First of all, social media, quite frankly, is the toilet of the internet,” Gaga, who was then newly single after her breakup from fiancé Christian Carino, said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” at the time. “What it has done to pop culture is abysmal. And yes, people saw love, and guess what, that’s what we wanted you to see.”
Cooper’s then-girlfriend, Irina Shayk, sat in the crowd, and the show-stopping and sensuous performance sparked online buzz.
“‘Shallow,’ is a love song, and ‘A Star Is Born,’ is a love narrative. We worked so hard on that performance, we worked all week on it,” Gaga remarked, adding that Cooper was the mastermind behind the scenes.
“Everything you saw, the way that they pushed the piano out, you saw them put the piano together, and us walk up on stage, no intro, that was all him,” Gaga said of Cooper.
Gaga is nominated at this year’s SAG Awards in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category for “House of Gucci.” Cooper was nominated for his role in “Licorice Pizza” but lost to “CODA” star Troy Kotsur.
