Bradley Cooper has been seen rushing out of a press conference after an urgent matter involving his daughter, with the Hollywood actor quick to put his family before his work.

American actor and filmmaker Bradley, 48, attended a press conference in New York City on Thursday. The press conference was for the actor's new movie Maestro, which sees him portray American conductor Leonard Bernstein.

But during the press conference, Bradley shocked attendees when he dashed out of the event mid-way through. The Hangover star received an urgent call from his daughter Lea’s school nurse, which is why he was quick to depart the stage.

According to the MailOnline, Bradley could be heard saying: "So sorry. The school nurse just called me," while on-stage as he glanced down at his phone. He then added: "Can I just leave the room for a second to call them back and you can keep going? Is that all right?"

Bradley then briefly returned to the stage, according to reports, where he explained that he had to rush to the six-year-old’s school to administer something school officials couldn’t. "I have to apply something that they won’t allow," he said. "I have to do it, so it’s, like, a 10-minute walk," he then added before departing the event.

Bradley shares joint custody of his daughter with ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk, 37, with whom he dated from 2015 to 2019. Lea was in attendance at the premiere for Maestro earlier this month, with the father-and-daughter duo making a joint appearance on the red carpet.

Lea appears in the film alongside her father in her acting debut. While in attendance, Lea donned a Dolce & Gabbana leopard-print dress, white ballet flats and a red and black crossbody purse.

The six-year-old plays the younger version of Leonard (Bradley) and Felicia's (Carey Mulligan) daughter Jamie Bernstein, who is later portrayed by daughter of Hollywood legends Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, Maya Hawke, in the film.
