Eddie Vedder Reveals The Advice He Gave Bradley Cooper For Playing A Rockstar In ‘A Star Is Born’

November 4, 2020

Eddie Vedder has revealed the advice he gave to Bradley Cooper when the actor was preparing for his role as Jackson Maine in 2018’s A Star Is Born. Ahead of shooting, Cooper spent some time hanging out with Vedder, observing him in order to get in character and accurately portray a “bona fide rock star” for the film.

In a new interview with Howard Stern, Vedder has discussed the process and revealed some of the advice he gave the actor ahead of his Oscar-nominated performance.

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1604613621’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1604613621’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1604613621’);

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie[‘val’] === ‘false’) {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1604613621’]]);
}

});

“We just hung out for a couple days and he asked me a few questions, and I told him things like, you know, ‘Make sure your guitar covers your balls at all times’,” Vedder commented, prompting Stern to ask why that was an important lesson.

“Well, I think sometimes the guitar gets a little high, it looks more like a bib.”

The Pearl Jam frontman also told Cooper he had some trepidation about him being able to realistically capture what being a musician was like, telling the actor: “There’s a few movies out there on surfing, a few movies on rock and roll. None of them get it right… I don’t think anyone can pull it off. It’s not that you can’t… But I would really think this through.”

Vedder went on to say that despite his fears, he was incredibly impressed the first time he saw the film.

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};

googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_c_1604613621’]]);
}

});

“I tell you, when I saw it, I was just fucking blown away. It just took me there, and what he can do with his eyes, what they [Cooper and Lady Gaga] did together… It just took me there.”
