"Working 12 hour+ days without being allowed to sit down is inhumane," one person said.
Bradley Cooper’s eyebrow-raising revelation about his directorial process is being met with a chilly response.
The Oscar-nominated actor and filmmaker recently spoke to Spike Lee as part of Variety’s “Directors on Directors” video series and, in the interview, shared that he’s nixed chairs from the sets of movies he directs.
“There’s no chairs on sets,” Cooper said. “I’ve always hated chairs, and I feel like your energy dips the minute you sit down in the chair. So [an] apple box is a very nice way to sit and everybody’s together.”
He also told Lee that there’s “no video village,” referring to the behind-the-scenes area of a movie set, filled with monitors and screens, that’s typically reserved for the director.
“I hate that,” he said.
