Family is everything to Cooper, who took his father's death particularly hard. According to the Independent, the actor took care of his dad, Charles Cooper, who was suffering from terminal lung cancer, the year prior to filming The Hangover Part II in Thailand. He reportedly moved in with his parents five months before his father passed away in his arms. 

Bradley talked to the Independent about losing his dad. "It's a new reality," he said. "Everything, everything. It's not even one thing, it's a whole new world. And it was instantaneous. It wasn't like, months later. It was like, his last exhale, and I was holding him, and it was like, everything changed."

Cooper has since started wearing his father's wedding band. At first he wore it on his left hand as a "tribute" to his mother's strong marriage, reported Hello! According to The New York Times, the actor began wearing it around his neck sometime before September 2018.
