"I had to bring the baby something from South Africa."

Cooper's reaction was pure surprise:

"What? What?"

Bush explained that the gift was for the nursery, adding a playful detail that made it even more memorable.

"This is from Africa. It's from Zivia Bush. You know, it's literally like from the bush where we shot the Cheetah Girls. There were lions on set."

Cooper, clearly touched, revealed that the timing could not have been more perfect.

"What's so weird is I've been putting a list together of things I wanted to watch on maternity leave, and I was like, I need to re-watch all the Cheetah Girls movies because there's just something so cosy about it."
