MEN in their 30s who still live with their parents have a new and entirely unexpected role model: the Oscar-nominated Hollywood heart-throb Bradley Cooper.

The dashing star of Silver Linings Playbook and The Place Beyond to the Pines has revealed that he moved back in with his mother Gloria two years ago, after the death of his 71-year-old father, Charles. Cooper told Details magazine there were some "complications" living in the next room to his mother, but described her as "a cool chick", adding: "We can hang, and she can roll with the punches."
