Despite being one of the world’s biggest movie stars, Cooper says dealing with paparazzi isn’t too bad. Sometimes, though, a pap will manage to catch him at a weird time. In the above clip, Cooper recalls one particular memory from a few years ago, when he was bent down loading his dog into a truck. “You could hear the click,” Cooper says. “You just hear it. You get used to that clicking sound. And I thought, oh yeah, these pants are really tight. I think my ass is hanging out.” And, as Norton reveals, Cooper was right. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4097061/bradley-cooper-paparazzi/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4097061/bradley-cooper-paparazzi/"},"headline":"Watch Bradley Cooper Recreate His Most Awkward Paparazzi Encounter","datePublished":"2015-11-02T23:22:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:58.474Z","description":"It all went down when he was loading his dog intro a truck","url":"https://time.com/4097061/bradley-cooper-paparazzi/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4097061/bradley-cooper-paparazzi/","name":"Watch Bradley Cooper Recreate His Most Awkward Paparazzi Encounter"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Joy Trailer With Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper","description":"Watch Joy Trailer With Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ejYIXtVM/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-10-21T14:27:31.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ejYIXtVM.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4097061/bradley-cooper-paparazzi/","duration":"PT1M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4097061/bradley-cooper-paparazzi/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
