Cooper in awe of traditional family home

By Indo Asian News Service | IANS India Private Limited – Fri 11 Jan, 2013 7:24 AM IST

Los Angeles, Jan 11 (IANS) Actor Bradley Cooper dreams of having a "traditional family home".

The 38-year-old, who recently split from his actress girlfriend Zoe Saldana, hopes to find long-lasting love like his parents and insists he is a true romantic.

"I would say I am a romantic, for sure," showbizspy.com quoted Cooper as saying.

"I think most guys are deep down. I look at my parents, who have been married happily since 1963, and my grandparents are the same. What guy wouldn't want that? I think the thought of a traditional family home is awesome. Traditional roles are becoming a thing of the past, but I think there is something still really charming about them," he added.
