Carol Burnett, the iconic American comedian, celebrated her 91st birthday on April 26 with a delightful surprise from someone she had once jokingly expressed interest in: Bradley Cooper. Known for her quick wit and humor, Burnett had previously made headlines with her lighthearted remark about wanting to “do” with Cooper before turning 91. Little did she know that her wish would manifest in a heartwarming birthday message from the actor himself, courtesy of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
During her appearance on the show, host Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist bringing up Burnett’s birthday, prompting her to humorously acknowledge the occasion. Unbeknownst to her, Kimmel had arranged for Cooper to send a special birthday greeting, much to Burnett’s surprise and delight. Cooper appeared on screen, expressing his admiration for Burnett and extending his warm wishes for her special day, even expressing a desire to meet and possibly collaborate in the future.
Amidst laughter and amusement, Burnett graciously thanked Cooper for the unexpected birthday present, describing it as “hysterical” and “adorable.” Kimmel, always ready with a joke, playfully suggested that while Burnett might not be fulfilling her wish to “do” with Cooper just yet, receiving a personal video message from him was certainly a step in the right direction.
This charming interaction on Jimmy Kimmel Live! added another memorable moment to Burnett’s legendary career, showcasing her enduring appeal and sense of humor. While her playful remark about Cooper may have started as a joke, the genuine warmth and appreciation shared between them in the birthday message reflected the mutual respect and admiration between two entertainment icons.
Burnett’s humorous remark about wanting to “do” with Bradley Cooper had originated during a previous appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, where she had jokingly expressed her bold wish before turning 91. The lighthearted banter continued as Kelly Ripa playfully encouraged Cooper to reach out to Burnett, creating a fun and memorable moment on morning television.
As Burnett continues to entertain audiences with her wit and charm, and Cooper captivates audiences with his talent on screen, their playful exchange serves as a reminder of the joy and laughter that transcends age and brings people together, even in the world of Hollywood.
