Who would willingly choose to have their bathtub, toilet, and bed in one room? Bradley Cooper, that’s who. During a recent episode of Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, the actor opened up about the early days of fatherhood (a round of applause for saying the quiet part out loud), graced us with already much-discussed pooping TMI…and revealed that he sleeps in an open-plan bedroom and bathroom. Which is just a hard thing to get past. To give Cooper the benefit of the doubt, maybe the house came that way? Or, he hasn’t gotten around to renovating? He didn’t specify which home he was talking about, but assuming it’s the one he reportedly owns in the West Village (his ex previously confirmed that’s where their daughter lives; you can see some of the layout here), he’s had it for over five years — and the bathroom originally had pocket doors. Meaning, he chose to have “no doors.” Whatsoever. 

The obvious question here is: Why??? Sure, this is a known layout for some hotel rooms — which, to be clear, needs to end, no matter how fancy the setup. But maybe those of us in the “absolutely not” camp have it all wrong. One design magazine calls the combined bed/bath a “growing luxury trend.” While an expert claims, “The coziness of the bedroom makes it a place of relaxation and comfort, so placing a bath there only further enhances this.” Perhaps we should just be grateful it’s not a “kitchen shower.”
