À propos de cet audio
In the past few days Cooper Hoffman’s star has only grown brighter, and the focus on him has never been sharper. Fresh off the buzz of “The Long Walk” still resonating in theaters, Cooper has been everywhere—in interviews, fashion show front rows, and trending across social platforms. On October 1, he made a noticeable appearance sitting next to Nico Parker at the Christian Dior Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris. Social media lit up after photos surfaced of Cooper’s yellow socks perfectly matching the trim of Nico’s skirt, sparking a round of appreciative comments about their “fun color coordination.” Just Jared highlighted how fans adored this playful moment and their understated style.
Media outlets like Young Hollywood and The Wrap have honed in on how Cooper, at only 22, is distinguishing himself both from his late father, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and from the multitude of high-profile children carving their own Hollywood paths. Though his lineage is undeniable—son of the Oscar-winning Philip Seymour Hoffman and costume designer Mimi O’Donnell—Cooper originally wanted to avoid acting altogether. He recently told GQ and The Wrap that he planned on studying fashion at Central Saint Martins, and only turned to acting because Paul Thomas Anderson, a close collaborator with his father, persuaded him to try it. The shadow of his father’s legacy is something he’s navigated with maturity and humility. On the Today Show earlier this month, Cooper revealed that before shooting any new project, he watches “The Master,” starring his dad, calling it his favorite and crediting it as an emotional touchstone and a guide for his own performances. He candidly admits the pressure of acting with an Oscar at home “looking at you your whole life,” and says he’ll stick with acting as long as it feels true to him.
Professionally, after his breakout turn in “Licorice Pizza,” Cooper’s been steadily taking on more dynamic and demanding roles. His acclaimed performance as Ray Garraty in Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Long Walk” has particularly impressed critics and fans alike, with Cooper recounting the exhausting reality of walking fifteen miles a day during shooting in punishing conditions—a far cry from Hollywood glamour. He’s also recently starred in Maude Apatow’s “Poetic License,” debuted at TIFF, and will appear in the forthcoming “I Want Your Sex” by Gregg Araki, where he plays a muse opposite Olivia Wilde. He’s slated to lead projects for directors Luca Guadagnino and A24, including the highly anticipated “The Chaperones.”
Though he maintains a careful distance from social media—he has no official presence—his public persona is described as shy, introspective, and deeply committed to the work rather than the fame, as Young Hollywood recently reported. He rarely does interviews and prefers to let his performances speak for themselves. Still, every time he steps out in public, as with his Dior show appearance this week, he reminds fans and industry insiders that he is very much his own person, forging a uniquely compelling trajectory in film.
