I Am Groot producer recalls making Bradley Cooper shouting for an hour

The first season of I Am Groot included the return of Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon. I Am Groot director Kirsten Lepore spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the new season and also reflected on working with Cooper in Season 1. 

"Yeah, it was an amazing record session. It was incredible," Lepore recalled of Bradley Cooper's cameo. "It only took him two seconds to find it, and then there was also a lot of shouting in that episode, so I felt bad. We had to go from zero to 60 into shouting, and so he was just shouting for an hour. (Laughs.) He was such a good sport about it, but at the end, we mailed him some tea. I was like, 'I feel so bad. I feel like I killed your voice. I just made you shout for an hour, Bradley Cooper.'"
