Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk take adorable baby daughter Lea to the beach
BRADLEY Cooper looked every inch the doting dad as he carried his baby daughter on his shoulders during a family day out.
New dad Brad was spotted spending quality time with his Russian model girlfriend Irina Shayk and their 10-month-old Lea de Seine at Sunset Beach in California.
The 43-year-old was all smiles as he held his baby daughter on his shoulders before playing with on the sand.
He looked casual in a long-sleeved top and shorts and some aviator sunglasses.
Lea looked like she was loving the family day out as she put her hands in the sand and crawled off the blanket as her parents enjoyed a tender hug.
Irina and Brad smiled broadly as they doted on their mini-me, who was born last April.
The sweet snaps come as it was revealed today that the Hollywood star was an aspiring journalist in his younger years.
Bradley, who rose to fame thanks to The Hangover trilogy, once penned an article about hooking up with his best pal when he was 18.
He discussed his sex life and his dalliance with best pal Deborah Landed for a first-person piece in The Philadelphia Daily News.
In the article, he writes: "Can best friends who are of the opposite sex hook up with each other without destroying their friendship? In my case, yes...so far."
Philadelphia Enquirer journalist Tommy Rowan tweeted a picture of the article in which Brad ponders being "friends with benefits".
Brad continues: "We’ve all been there in that moment when, all of a sudden, the person right in front of you becomes attractive.
"It happens in an instant, almost. You've gotten morning coffee with this someone for years. He or she is the person you call for advice after a bad date.
"Hell, they're the ones who laugh as you take tequila shots and inevitably end up sending you home.

"We really don’t know how to be anything other than best friends. I realise this when people ask me if we are going out.
"It sounds too weird to even imagine; however, to an outsider, it probably looks as if we are boyfriend and girlfriend."
Bradley ended the article saying the pair had brought their friendship to "another level" but will probably end up going back to being ";just best friends" after they go to college.
