usmagazine.com:

Meet cute! Jessica Chastain’s grandmother Marilyn Herst did not hold back when she got the opportunity to make a lasting first impression on Bradley Cooper.“A few years ago, I had a party at my house and Bradley Cooper was there.

My grandmother is now at the age where she just really doesn’t care, you know? She’s just like, ‘I’m just gonna do whatever I want.’ So in the middle of the party, she just walked over to Bradley and just sat on his lap,” the 355 actress, 44, recalled during her Wednesday, January 5, appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “He looked horrified, actually.

He had never met her. He didn’t know who she was.”Chastain stepped in to clear up Cooper’s confusion. “I saw it kinda happening in slow motion where I was like, ‘No!’” she revealed. “I just started going, ‘It’s my grandma!

It’s my grandma!’ Then he was like, ‘OK. Hi, Grandma.’”The Scenes From a Marriage star explained that she wants to help her grandmother find love, but Herst has her sights set on A-listers.“I’ve been trying to get her dates for a long time.
