During a recent episode of The Howard Stern Show, Bradley Cooper, 48, stated that he would value a Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl victory over an Oscar. His sentiment was supported by Kylie Kelce.

Cooper was presented with a choice: a Lombardi trophy for his hometown team, or a clean sweep for his film Maestro at the 2024 Academy Awards. (Nominations have not been officially announced, but Stern's hypothetical scenario included wins for best director, best actor, and best actress.)

Stern received Cooper's answer almost immediately. "Eagles Super Bowl victory," Cooper said with a deadpan expression, joking, "I know, I'm ridiculous."

Cooper stood firm in his denial, but his fellow Eagles fans were not easily swayed. When the official NFL TikTok account posted a video of Cooper's admission, social media users noticed Jason Kelce's wife showing her support in the comments section.

She wrote without hesitation.

Kylie's reply stood out among the "go birds" comments, with a fan even suggesting Cooper as a potential guest for Jason and Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast. Another user chimed in, saying "Tell me you're a Philly fan without telling me. Love it."

Those familiar with Cooper's background were not surprised by the reaction. A native of Pennsylvania, Cooper's passion for the Eagles was reflected in his role in the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook, which is set in a Philadelphia suburb. In the movie, Cooper portrays a character named Pat, who is a devoted Eagles fan and is also dealing with bipolar disorder.

Cooper once again demonstrated his allegiance to the Philadelphia team at Super Bowl LII in 2018, where he was seen cheering alongside owner Jeffrey Lurie as the Eagles secured their first-ever Super Bowl victory by defeating the New England Patriots. Prior to his appearance on the Stern show, Cooper was also seen in a VIP suite at Lincoln Financial Field during the Eagles' game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, November 26.

Similar to Cooper, Kylie is a passionate Eagles fan, not only because of her husband's position on the team. She stated in the Prime Video documentary Kelce, premiered in September, "I am an Eagles fan to the extent that if Jason ever played for another team, I would wear 'Kelce.' I couldn't bring myself to wear another team's gear. I've contemplated it, and I just couldn't do it. It would be awful." Jason was selected by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and he and Kylie got married in 2018. They are parents to three daughters: Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 19 months.
