Bradley Cooper has moved his mother in with him.

The Hangover 2 actor – who has been single since splitting from girlfriend Renee Zellweger earlier this year – has been living with mom Gloria in his Los Angeles home since his father, Charles, died in January and Bradley says it’s his ideal living arrangement.

The 36-year-old heartthrob – who lived with his parents in Philadelphia for five months before his dad passed away - told America’s Esquire magazine: "I love having her. I wouldn't have it any other way."

Bradley has always been close to his parents and recently said how he loved spending time with both of them as he shot movie Limitless in Philadelphia.

He said: "We got to shoot it in Philadelphia, which is where I'm from, which was a sort of an added bonus, Philly and New York.

"My parents lived with me. I had an apartment downtown, so my parents moved in with me. I don't know what happened, I think it's that Italian-Irish thing."

Before Charles, 71, died in January, Bradley made a touching tribute to him, saying he cultivated his love of movies.

He said: “My father was a huge cinephile. I remember watching Raging Bull with him on cable when I was 10 and, when I was 12, him showing me The Elephant Man and Apocalypse Now – all these crazy movies.

“We used to play this game, 'Would you put him in the movie?' We'd pretend we were putting together this great film and decide whether an actor was worthy to be in it. It was this adorable father/son thing.

“I would live with movies for weeks, pretending I was whoever was in it. As a kid, I just knew I wanted to be up in that world. - Bang Showbiz
