Actress Laura Dern has dismissed all dating rumours with actor Bradley Cooper and says they are just friends. The Big Little Lies star and A Star is Born actor-director were seen dining together in New York City, weeks after Cooper’s split from his longtime girlfriend Irina Shayk in June. Dern says their relationship is strictly platonic. “We’re amazing friends. We’re so lucky. And we’re family,” she told a website. “I mean, everybody’s always gonna comment about whatever seems intriguing, and he’s the greatest human, and one of my best friends in the world,” she adds. “So I don’t blame anyone for having deep curiosity about his life cause he’s spectacular.” (IANS)
