The 48-year-old actor said he felt "freedom" in knowing that if anything was wrong about his latest movie `Maestro`, which he wrote and directed, as well as portraying late musical legend Leonard Bernstein, it was all down to him, even though it was also a "huge burden".
Speaking to <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/emma-stone-playing-role-in-poor-things-felt-like-acceptance-of-what-it-is-to-be-a-woman-23315395" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Emma Stone </a>for Variety`s Actors on Actors series, after the `Poor Things` star noted it was "scary" to spend so much time preparing for a role, he replied: "I have felt that before in projects, and maybe that&rsquo;s because &hellip; I&rsquo;ve just recently realised that maybe I&rsquo;m a bit of a control freak."
&ldquo;But I knew that if `Maestro` was going to mess up, it was all on me. I was not beholden to anybody else. There was a freedom in that, as well as a huge burden."
The `Hangover` star said making the movie has completely "changed" him and the experience will always stay with him.
He added: "But that&rsquo;s why this kind of thing to me feels completely different. I&rsquo;ll carry it with me the rest of my life. It has changed who I am as an artist."
Cooper felt "completely naked" in the role because he was so "vulnerable" reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Even though I&rsquo;m not physically naked, I was completely naked putting on this prosthetic and being him and the way he talked. I would direct the movie that way, just because it was easier. But I felt so vulnerable. Singing at the<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/oscars-2024-new-rules-announced-check-out-23293900" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"> Oscars</a>, playing at Glastonbury, didn&rsquo;t even compare to what that experience was".
`A Star Is Born` actor-and-director has been fascinated by conducting since he was a child and he said it meant he already had "years and years" of rehearsal within him.
He said: "I asked Santa Claus for a baton when I was around eight years old, and then I would just conduct all the time because there was classical music playing in my house. I would spend hours and hours."
"I&rsquo;ve done so much work on believing I&rsquo;m a conductor that if I ever had the chance to play one, there&rsquo;s years and years of rehearsal inside of me. And when you believe you are something &hellip; That&rsquo;s all we&rsquo;re trying to do anyway."
