The Hollywood star has signed a major deal
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become the target of unfair criticism after Hollywood star Bradley Cooper signed a podcast deal.
According to the US media, Cooper has signed a podcast deal with iHeartPodcasts to bring "real people telling real stories that inspire and motivate".
The media reported that the deal was done through his
production company, Lea Pictures, and is a multi-year deal to bring 'real
people telling real stories' to audiences.
The actor will be the
executive producer for all projects under the deal.
In a
statement to Variety, Cooper said, "Sharing stories that inspire, motivate
and resonate is one of the reasons I started Lea Pictures, and I'm excited
to team up with iHeartPodcasts to bring them to life for millions of
listeners."
Although the 48-year-old signed the deal with iHeartMedia, and
it had nothing to do with Meghan and Harry's recent decision to cancel their
Spotify deal, the couple's critics brought up the issue again to pour scorn
on the the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple's critics in
the UK said the actor did exactly what Meghan Markle was supposed to do.
In
an article published in Bloomberg last month, it was reported that Harry
wanted to interview Vladimir Putin, Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump for his
Spotify show.
Writing for Bloomberg's Newsletter, Ashley Carman
said the Duke of Sussex presented the idea of interviewing the above
mentioned controversial figures about their early formative years and how
those experiences resulted in the adults they are today.
The
author of the Bloomberg piece suggested that the Duke's ideas were not
deemed feasible because people like Putin and Zuckerberg are not known for
giving wide-ranging interviews about the topics they’re passionate
about.
