The SAG Awards doubled as a PTA meeting for two stars on Saturday.

Bradley Cooper crashed Jessica Chastain’s interview with Elaine Welteroth on Netflix’s 2024 SAG Awards red carpet pre-show, and the mom of two, 46, revealed, “We’re in the same kids group.”

“We sure are, for many years now,” the dad of 6-year-old daughter Lea De Seine chimed in. Chastain clarified, “We have, like, a PTA.”

The 49-year-old actor, nominated Saturday in the outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role category for Maestro, said he hadn’t seen Chastain “in forever.”

“Congratulations on everything!” she said.

The Oscar-winning actress revealed she’d watched scenes of Maestro on Cooper’s cellphone during the pandemic before its release. “She’s been so supportive for years,” Cooper said.

Welteroth, 37, asked Chastain, a presenter during the ceremony, if she wanted to take over the interview and ask Cooper a question.

“I don’t want to ask him anything personal,” Chastain said, before asking Cooper, “What’s next? Because you’ve already done A Star Is Born. You’ve done Maestro, two masterpieces. How do you follow that up?"

“I’m going to rest a little and see what happens,” he said. Chastain pushed him for something more. “Come on, give me a better answer than that!” she demanded.

From there, Cooper offered up that he’ll “hopefully do a movie with Will Arnett” in the future.

Before Cooper joined the interview, Welteroth congratulated Chastain on winning at last year’s SAG Awards. “The year before,” Chastain jumped in. Then she remembered, “Oh no, I did win last year for TV!”

She took home the award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a television movie or limited series for portraying Tammy Wynette in George & Tammy.

Chastain said she keeps her awards on the mantle of her fireplace. “Just, you know, in my office area,” she said. “It’s really nice.”

The star also gushed over Saturday’s Life Achievement Award recipient Barbra Streisand.

“I’m obsessed,” Chastain said. “I have loved Barbra since I was a child. I have loved her. I felt like we were like sisters almost, like a twin flame. I love her book. I just I love her. I love her spirit. I loved when she presented the Oscar to, I believe she presented to Kathryn Bigelow. And I think she said, ‘It’s about time,’ when she won. Yeah, I’m obsessed with that gorgeous woman.”

But Chastain said she didn’t plan to tell as much to Streisand if she ran into her at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

“I won’t say all this, I’m too shy,” Chastain said. “But yeah, I’m obsessed with her.”

The 30th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards are streaming live on Netflix.
