Actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Bradley Cooper</a> is being mocked after saying he doesn’t allow chairs on set when he’s directing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">movie</a>.
The 48-year-old celebrity made the admission while <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/features/bradley-cooper-spike-lee-maestro-no-chairs-set-method-acting-1235821551/">discussing</a> his latest project, “Maestro,” with Spike Lee.
Cooper said he spent years as a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">filmmaker</a> “in the position of an actor,” studying the different methods and planning his own style. The Academy Award nominee said he opts not to have chairs because it affects the “energy.”
“&#8230; I learned how to help the director by being on the field. For me, it was such a natural transition, once I had the courage to write and direct a movie. But when I direct, I don’t watch playback. There’s no chairs. I’ve always hated chairs on sets; your energy dips the minute you sit down in a chair,” he told Lee, also explaining how there’s no “video village,” referencing the area on a film set surrounding the director that’s full of monitors and screens.
Fans interpreted Cooper’s comments as an indication that no one was allowed to have chairs on set, which led to them accusing him of being cruel to actors and other entertainment industry employees. An X <a href="https://twitter.com/ZSharf/status/1735367876452683932">post</a> about the comments shared by Variety’s Digital News Director Zach Sharf has gone viral, with many commenters calling out Cooper for his actions. 
“On my sets I do not allow floors. My energy dips the minute I touch cement,” one person <a href="https://twitter.com/Danimalish/status/1735399052639105507">quipped</a>.

“Chairs on set are so people can rest for a minute during a long, exhausting day of achieving the director’s vision. The video village is so that all department heads can review how every element of the shot looks. It’s not about you, Bradley,” another commenter <a href="https://twitter.com/NedThorne/status/1735420397452214452">observed</a>.
A third wrote, “It&#8217;s a film set not an Amazon warehouse, calm down Bradley.”
“People be hiding in the bathroom just to sit,” another comment said. 
“He seems fun,” someone else echoed.
Many replies compared Cooper’s actions to filmmaker Christopher Nolan, who was also rumored to also be anti-chair. In 2020, Anne Hathaway <a href="https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/christopher-nolan-disputes-chair-ban-phones-cigarettes-1234570631/">claimed</a> that the “Oppenheimer” director &#8220;doesn&#8217;t allow chairs,&#8221; explaining that, &#8220;his reasoning is, if you have chairs, people will sit, and if they&#8217;re sitting, they&#8217;re not working.”
Nolan&#8217;s spokesperson said only cell phones and smoking were banned on his movie sets.
