Bradley Cooper took his daughter to work for his latest red carpet premiere.

The SignalHub"Maestro" star, 49, had a rare outing Monday at the New York premiere of John Krasinski's "IF" with his daughter Lea De Seine, 7, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk.

In an adorable moment from the event captured by People, Lea was seen holding her famous dad's hand as she walked with him on the carpet before she enthusiastically pointed to his character on the movie poster. Another video shared by Page Six showed Lea looking awestruck while speaking to Krasinski on the red carpet.

"Dude, he made the movie," Cooper could be heard telling his daughter, while Krasinski explained to her, "I was basically your dad, but for this movie instead of 'Maestro.'"

Cooper welcomed his daughter Lea in 2017 while he was in a relationship with Shayk, whom he dated from 2015 through 2019. She is the actor's only child.

Bradley Cooperposes with daughter Lea De Seine at 'Maestro' premiere: See the photos

Lea previously attended the premiere of Cooper's Leonard Bernstein biopic "Maestro" in December, where they posed for photos together. Lea also had a small role in the film as Bernstein's daughter.

"IF" takes place in a world where imaginary friends are real, and Cooper voices an animated ice cube. He's part of a star-studded voice cast that also includes Steve Carell, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, and it's the latest voiceover role for the actor, who played Rocket Raccoon in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films.

When assembling the voice cast for the film, Krasinski received "the most yeses of my career," he recently said on "The Tonight Show."

Bradley Coopersays he wasn't initially sure if he 'really loved’ his daughter Lea De Seine

"They all loved the idea of imagination and going back to your childhood," he added.

In February, Cooper made headlines after sharing on the "Armchair Expert" podcast that he wasn't initially sure whether he truly loved his daughter when she was born.

"If I'm being honest, the first eight months, I'm like, 'I don't even know if I really love the kid,'" Cooper said. "It's dope. It's cool. I'm watching this thing morph. (I'm) fascinated by it. Love taking care of it. (But) would I die if someone came in with a gun?"

But Cooper recalled later coming to the realization that he would die for Lea, sharing that after becoming a parent, "your DNA is going to tell you that there's something more important than you."
