“It was very surreal. It was a pretty crazy day. All I can say is that I am just so grateful for her, and I will owe her for the rest of my life that she made that happen and so quickly,” Cooper told Paper Magazine about Kim.
How did it come together? “Through my stylist Jamie, she called me, and within two hours a plan was already in place. She called me on Monday and then we went on Saturday.”
Cooper continued, saying, “Her passion for prison reform and incarcerated individuals is so inspiring. I’m forever grateful to her for that experience and for including me. That day, and then watching the entire show with my friends and family, were the two best days so far.”
The actor also hinted at what he’s got lined up for future projects.
“I have some stuff in the works. There are some potential things happening, but very early stages. Nothing I can really talk about yet,” he teased.
He continued, saying, “I’m really excited to get back to work. I’m just being very careful and selective with what I do next. For me, I’m looking at my career as more of the long haul. I’m not the kind of person that wants to always be working and constantly be doing something else, getting to the next gig as fast as I can no matter what it is. I want to be really strategic about the roles and projects that I do. I just want to do things that I’m passionate about and that really resonate with me. I’m not doing it for the money or for more fame and success. I want to tell cool stories and work with like-minded people. That’s what I’m after. I’ll wait two years if I have to.”
