Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliot co-starred in the hit musical romantic drama film A Star is Born, a remake of the same movie which was first released in 1937. 

The film was directed by Cooper himself and featured other big names such as Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle and Dice Clay.  

Following about 50 years of a successful career in Hollywood, 74-year-old Sam Elliot received the well-deserved honor of his hands and feet being printed into cement on the Hollywood Boulevard. 

The legendary actor could not contain his excitement.

 Bradley Cooper gave a speech at the event to pay tribute to Elliot, describing not only their professional relationship but their personal one too. 

"Sam is one of the most talented, generous, humble actors I have ever had the pleasure to work with and acting alongside him was a dream fulfilled for me." He said, "In the movie Jack may struggle with telling his brother how he feels about him, I’ve got no problem with telling you Sam just how much I love and admire you. You are my brother."

The heartwarming tribute brought tears to Elliot's eyes. In return, he spoke a few words about how much Cooper meant to him too, saying: 

"Bradley, if you look what’s behind me I think it’s safe to say that the reason I’m here is because of your film. I love you too. You’ve given me a gift. I’ve had a number of gifts over the last few years, there’s no question about it. I’ve had some really nice films come my way and worked with people I have the greatest respect for. I’m not sure I’ve ever had an experience like I had on your film. It touched me in a way that changed my life in some ways, in the most important ways."
