Luckily, mother and son also have a great sense of humor, because the T-Mobile commercial costars both seemed to find that hilarious.
“Are you working on a movie about Freud right now and not telling us?” Kimmel cracked, referring to Cooper’s all-immersive technique that’s also on display in his years-in-the-making biopic about conductor Leonard Bernstein, which has seven nominations.
