"Just from a personal standpoint, it reduces the anxiety level," Cooper told the outlet, referring to the way the two stared into each other's eyes as they performed "Shallow" at the Oscars.

"They kind of fall in love in that scene in the film," he added. "It’s that explosive moment that happens to happen to them on a stage in front of thousands of people. … It would have been so weird if we were both on stools facing the audience."

Cooper didn't have anything but kind words to say about the talent Lady Gaga brought to "A Star Is Born."

"She’s just so terribly charismatic and beautiful," Cooper said about working with her. "When I met her, I thought, ‘If I can just harness that … then it’s just for me to mess up.’ But then, when we started working together, I realized, ‘Oh, oh, the sky’s the limit in terms of what she’s able to do and her commitment level.’"
