It would just be awkward.”
How long he’s been crushing on co-star Leonardo DiCaprio: In his speech, Brad gave a special shout out to his partner in crime LDC. “He’s an all-star, he’s a gent, and I would be here without you man. Still, I would’ve shared the raft.”

His dating status and the truth about his Tinder profile: Fans were in for a surprise when Brad cracked a hilarious joke. At the SAG Awards, he accepted the honor for Male Actor is a Supporting Role.

Who helped him get sober: During the National Board of Review gala, the Ad Astra star made a special reveal. After being presented with an award by his friend Bradley Cooper, the actor shared why they have a special bond. “I got sober because of his man and every day has been happier since.”
He thinks he’s getting old: During the same ceremony, the Fight Club star took a dig at his age. “It’s things like this and nights like this that tell me I’m old. I’ve been around a while and I’ve been doing this for a bit.”
He still has eyes for Jennifer Aniston: One of his best moments came during the SAG Awards when he watched his ex-wife receive her award. Brad stopped what he was doing, found a screen, and looked on as she said her thank you’s. Fans really went wild when the pair were spotted sharing a friendly interaction on the carpet.
He wants to make sure you know his name: The highlight of Brad’s awards season came during the Oscar’s luncheon when the start proudly rocked a name tag. I mean, just in case anyone forgot or didn’t know who he was.
