Bradley Cooper's mom roasted her son in a hilarious Super Bowl commercial.
The Academy Award-nominated actor took on the role of a T-Mobile salesperson but his mom, Gloria Campano, wasn’t convinced.
The 48-year-old A Star is Born actor starred alongside his quick-witted mom, 64, for the minute-long commercial and it did not disappoint.

Cooper was clearly caught off-guard by his sassy mom’s hilarious jibes aimed mostly at his pink t-shirt.
“Yeah I don’t like the way you look,” she jokes while staring directly at her son’s bright pink T-Mobile employee shirt. “You look like a flamingo.”
Just like the good phone salesperson he now is, Cooper then tries to sell his mom a new device but it proves to be more difficult than he thought.
“I think I know what I’m, doing,” he declares while trying to sell the phone. “I’ve been nominated nine times.”
“Yeah but you’ve never won anything,” his mom swipes back, referencing his nine Oscar nominations without a single win.
The duo could barely keep a straight face during the ad and fans can’t get enough of it.
“Bradley Cooper’s mom during the T-Mobile commercial teasing him for not winning an Oscar I’m losing it,” one fan tweeted after watching the promotional clip.
While a second Twitter user particularly loved Campano’s joke about her son’s lack of success at the Oscars.
“Not the Bradley Cooper ad calling him out on being a nine-time Oscar loser,” they tweeted along with a picture of Cooper’s Jackson Maine from A Star Is Born looking very solemn.
Another fan gushed: "Bradley Cooper and his mom wins the first quarter with this spot for T-Mobile."
Meanwhile, advertising company Ad Age spilled some behind the scenes details from the promotional clip, including that it wasn’t originally intended to be a compilation of outtakes featuring Cooper and his mom.
“T-Mobile’s #SuperBowl ad wasn’t originally supposed to be in the form of outtakes. But when Bradley Cooper and his mom sat down for a table read the brand changed course,” it shared in a tweet.
Apart from his one-off job as a T-Mobile sales rep for the ad, Cooper will once again provide the voice for Rocket Raccoon in the 2023 film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He will also direct, produce, co-write and star in a Leonard Bernstein biopic for Netflix called Maestro.
Cooper is also set to reunite with Lady Gaga by producing the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Joker, which will be titled Joker: Folie à Deux and star the 'Bad Romance' singer as Harley Quinn.
