How did Will Arnett help Cooper?

Remembering the old times, Cooper said:

“Will was like, ‘Hey man, do you remember we had dinner the other night? How do you think that went?'”
“I remember being at the dinner thinking I was so funny, and thought these two guys who were my heroes thought that I was so funny.”
”I was like ‘ thought it was great.”

The A Star is Born star continued:

”I thought I was killing.’ Will Arnett was like, ‘You were a real a**hole, man. You were a real a**hole.'”

Arnett also asked him to take his dogs out so he could use the bathroom.

Cooper recalled:

“That was the first time I ever realized I had a problem with drugs and alcohol. The guy that I think is doing mean humor is telling me the truth and it changed my entire life.”

He continued:

“I was so lost, and I was addicted to cocaine. Will took that risk of having that hard conversation with me in, like, July of 2004 and that put me on a path of deciding to change my life. It truly was Will Arnett. He is the reason.”
