The actor has attended many premieres, but this one was special because accompanying him on the red-carpet was his six-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, who has a small cameo role in his much-anticipated new movie, Maestro.

Lea, whose mother is model Irina Shayk, walked hand-in-hand with her father dressed in a leopard-print chiffon dress by Dolce & Gabbana with gold ballerina shoes and a red purse as they arrived at the screening, which took place at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

Bradley (48) looked dashing in a navy-blue suit.

The father-daughter duo shared many heartwarming moments throughout the night.

Celebrating her daughter, Irina (37) took to Instagram in a since expired story post congratulating Lea not only on her debut red carpet appearance but also on her debut movie role. 

“Congrats @maestrofilm,"she wrote. “So proud Daddy and Lea.”

Maestro, which is due to be released on Netflix later this month, is a biopic about the love story of legendary American composer Leonard Bernstein, who wrote the music for Broadway hit West Side Story, and his wife Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein, a Costa Rican actress.

Bradley directs and stars in the film, which sees Lea playing a younger version of his on-screen daughter, Jamie.

With Bradley being one of Hollywood’s hottest hunks and Irina widely regarded as one of the world’s top supermodels, fans have always been interested in their daughter, but her parents largely shielded her from the limelight.

“Sometimes my daughter is scared – she sees the paparazzi from miles away. We had to explain to her, like, ‘They’re just doing their job. By selling pictures, they make their living. You don’t have to be scared’,” Irina says. 

Despite splitting four years ago she and Bradley have an amicable co-parenting relationship. 

“I just always want her [Lea] to feel loved,” Bradley said in 2018.

Irina praised him in an interview with Elle earlier in the year. 

“He's the best father Lea and I could dream of.”

Irina has most recently been romantically linked to American football star Tom Brady, the ex-husband of fellow supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Bradley, meanwhile, is rumoured to be dating model Gigi Hadid.

Irina admits even though she and Brad have very busy careers, they “always find a way," to put their daughter first.  “We both take Lea everywhere with us.”

Back in August the trio took the streets of Italy for a relaxed summer holiday. A source close to Irina told People that the trip was encouraged by their daughter, who wants to travel with both her parents . 

“The Italy trip with her daughter is fun for everyone,” the source said.

“Lea wants them all to travel together. And Irina and Bradley are friendly and get along. They both want to make Lea happy.”

Now that their daughter is growing and being exposed to social media, they're taking care to ensure that she knows what really matters in life.

“With TikTok and Instagram and social media, my daughter is growing up in a different environment than I grew up in, so sometimes it kind of scares me. But most important is teaching our daughter bigger values than being pretty on the outside,” Irina says. 

“We're teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we're like, 'Just remember kindness and love’.”
