Bradley Cooper and Kerry Washington have been friends for years, and their bond is so solid that Bradley decided to spend his Monday night hosting a screening for Kerry’s new movie, The Six Triple Eight. Because, you know, who needs a quiet evening when you can host a glitzy event instead?
On December 16, Bradley traded his usual chill vibes for the spotlight at the Crosby Street Hotel in NYC, where he hyped up Kerry’s film like a proud bestie. Joining the star-studded soirée were Kerry’s co-star Ebony Obsidian and the film’s writer-director-producer, the one and only Tyler Perry. Yes, Perry pulled the ultimate Hollywood trifecta: writing, directing, and producing—because apparently just one job isn’t enough.
Also in the VIP section: Ambassador Nicole Avant, who co-produced the movie, and her husband, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, proving that power couples don’t just attend events—they dominate them. And of course, Netflix is streaming the film starting December 20, because Ted Sarandos isn’t letting us forget who’s in charge of your binge-watching schedule.
As if that wasn’t enough celebrity wattage, Gayle King rolled in like the queen she is, alongside comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica. Oh, and Katie Couric stepped up to moderate a panel, because when Katie talks, people listen—even if they’re secretly wondering when the hors d’oeuvres are coming back around.
For those keeping score, Bradley and Kerry’s friendship predates this movie night. They teamed up on an SNL skit for the show’s 40th anniversary back in 2015. Clearly, their bond has evolved from goofy sketches to hosting ultra-classy film events.
Bradley Cooper, proving once again he’s not just a talented actor but also the friend who’ll show up, show out, and make sure your film gets the Hollywood treatment it deserves. Who needs a best friend like that? Answer: everyone.
