Nicholas Cage's words of praise come after Bradley Cooper failed to win an award for his Leonard Bernstein biopic.
Nicolas Cage is all praise for Bradley Cooper after Teacher.
The 60-year-old actor spoke about him at the premiere of his new film Arcadianheld at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, on Monday.
Nicolas shared what he and the 49-year-old filmmaker talked about during the Academy Awards earlier this weekend, as he was “very impressed” with her work on the Leonard Bernstein biopic.
He also said PEOPLE who would enthusiastically collaborate with his Hangover co-star in the future if he gets the chance to do so.
“Bradley is a great actor. I admire what he has achieved,” Nicholas added, further expressing his admiration for the 'A Star As Born' actor for putting impressive effort into his projects.
“Jerry Lewis used to tell me, 'You're not a filmmaker unless you star in your own movie and direct, score and edit your own movie.' And Bradley is doing that,” Nicolas shared.
His praise comes after Bradley was nominated for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay awards for his work on Teacher.
Despite not winning any awards, the film's cast and crew earned a total of seven nominations for their work on the biopic.
