Bradley Cooper has been living something of a secret life, hanging out with suburban Mum Danielle Davies. Well, a life-sized cardboard cut-out version of him has anyway.

The USA-based Davies, 39, started an Instagram account in April, titled @mylifewithbradleycooper in which she’s been taking the handsome Hangover star with her wherever she goes as she carries out all the day-to-day household activities of any mum.

Since starting the account he’s been spotted helping with the grocery shopping, napping on the couch, mowing the lawn and going for jogs with Danielle. Her account has become something of a runaway success after gaining over 10,000 followers in just under three months.

So why does she do it? Davies says on her blog that “while most of us don’t actually live our lives with movie stars, many of us wish we did.”

Davies also once starred in an amateur student theatre production with Cooper back when they were both students at the same University. She told Today that the pictures are “a way for me to poke fun at how I ended up where I am and how/why my one-time stage equal has gone on to become an Academy Award nominee.”

Therefore, why not just pretend that both their lives went in the same direction? As Davies says: “If I want a life with Bradley Cooper, well, then…I’ll just make one up.”

Cooper himself doesn’t have anything to do with the blog or Instagram account, but we’d sure be interested to hear what he thinks of it!
