Los Angeles, Jan 2 (IANS): Actor Bradley Cooper says he gave his parents a difficult time during his troubled adolescence, and reveals he was arrested as a teenager.
"I grew up in an interesting family. My father was Irish, and my mother was Italian. It's a rich tapestry. It's soaking in volatility," digitalspy.co.uk quoted Cooper as saying.
"I was raised well. I put them through some hell, of course. I got arrested for underage drinking when I was 15," he added.
Cooper went on to credit his mother Gloria and father Charles with helping him to turn his life around.
"My mom always said, 'Just call me. I want to know where you are'. We always had good lines of communication, me and my parents," said the 37-year-old.
