In an interview with GQ magazine, Cooper reflected on the loss of his father two years ago and added that he will not "sweat s**t" about awards after he witnessed his dad's final moments.
"Death became very real. And very tangible. Because my father - someone who had been in my life for 36 years is just f**king gone," Cooper said.
"I watched him dying and I was there by his bed watching him, breathing with him, and then I saw his last breath and he was gone.

"I experienced the whole thing. And that was a watershed moment that I was privileged to experience. And it changed everything. Nothing has ever been the same since."
He added: "You know William Blake's Songs of Innocence? Well, right there, in that moment, the innocence was gone. Done. Never to return. The beauty is that I just don't sweat s**t any more."
The 38-year-old said that losing his father has made him less nervous about things that he cannot control.

The 38-year-old said that losing his father has made him less nervous about things that he cannot control.
"My father gave me two gifts - having me and dying with me. I used to be the kid that got the shakes if I had to talk in public; now, I just don't get nervous about stuff. I can't control everything."
"I don't want to win an Oscar. It would change nothing. Nothing. The things in my life that aren't fulfilled would not be fulfilled. Career-wise, right now, it's better that I don't win one. I don't want to win. I don't."
