Fans started alleging a beef between the actors after Bradley Cooper’s remark in aVarietyinterview rubbed theOppenheimerfans the wrong way. While discussing hisMaestrorole withEmma Stone, Cooper stated,“This wasn’t like you got a call, and in six months you’re going to do it. This had to have taken years.”Fans largely believed that it was a subtle dig at Cillian Murphy, who earlier revealed that he had prepared six months for his role as the American physicist.
The trolling began when fans shared Murphy’s Golden Globe-winning moment on social media along with theAlohaactor’s reaction, alleging that the latter was bitter at losing the award (via Men’s Journal). This one-sided beef appears to be an over-stretch, but the actor could really be hurting over his lost awards. Interestingly, Cooper has missed out on the Academy Awards nine times, including three times for Best Actor and once for Best Supporting Actor.
