==Personal life== In the early 1970s, a story was widely reported that ''[[Leave It to Beaver]]'' actor [[Ken Osmond]] had become "rock star Alice Cooper". According to Cooper, the rumor began when a college newspaper editor asked him what kind of child he was, to which Cooper replied, "I was obnoxious, disgusting, a real [[Eddie Haskell]]," referring to the fictional character Osmond portrayed. However, the editor ended up reporting that Cooper was the real Haskell. Cooper later told the ''[[New Times (magazine)|New Times]]'': "It was the biggest rumor that ever came out about me. Finally, I got a T-shirt that said, 'No, I am not Eddie Haskell.' But people still believed it."<ref>Ken Osmond Wiki; Alex Ben Block (January 6, 1975). "Cooper's comedy mocks system". ''[[The Miami News]]''.</ref> On June 20, 2005, ahead of his June–July 2005 tour, Cooper had a wide-ranging interview with interviewer of celebrities [[Andrew Denton]] for the Australian [[ABC TV (Australian TV channel)|ABC TV]]'s ''[[Enough Rope]]''. Cooper discussed various issues during the talk, including the horrors of acute alcoholism and his subsequent cure, being a Christian, and his social and work relationship with his family.<ref name="EnuffRope"/> During the interview, Cooper remarked "I look at [[Mick Jagger]] and he's on an 18-month tour and he's six years older than me, so I figure, when he retires, I have six more years. I will not let him beat me when it comes to longevity."<ref name="EnuffRope"/> Cooper frequently [[Illeism|refers to himself in the third person as "Alice"]] as a way to distance himself from his stage persona.<ref name="Telegraph"/> ===Marriage and relationships=== In the period when the Alice Cooper group was signed to [[Frank Zappa]]'s [[Straight Records|Straight label]], Miss Christine of [[the GTOs]] became Cooper's girlfriend.

Cooper has usually kept his political views to himself, and in 2010 said, "I am extremely non-political. I go out of my way to be non-political. I'm probably the biggest moderate you know. When [[John Lennon]] and [[Harry Nilsson]] used to argue politics, I was sitting right in the middle of them, and I was the guy who was going 'I don't care.' When my parents would start talking politics, I would go in my room and put on [[the Rolling Stones]] or [[the Who]] as long as I could avoid politics. And I still feel that way."<ref name="Rolling Stone"/> On occasion, Cooper has spoken out against musicians who promote or opine on politics; for example, in the build-up to the [[2004 United States presidential election|2004 presidential election]], he told [[The Canadian Press]] that the rock stars campaigning for and touring on behalf of [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] candidate [[John Kerry]] were committing "treason against rock n' roll". He added, upon seeing a list of musicians who supported Kerry, "If I wasn't already a [[George W. Bush|Bush]] supporter, I would have immediately switched. [[Linda Ronstadt]]? [[Don Henley]]? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush."<ref name="WP_treason">{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A27098-2004Aug23.html |date=August 24, 2004 |title=Alice Cooper's Political Makeup |first=Richard |last=Leiby |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |access-date=August 15, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080724154257/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A27098-2004Aug23.html |archive-date=July 24, 2008 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref group="fn">On Zimbio's list of [http://www.zimbio.com/Famous+Republicans/articles/GiOVZw1djN-/Alice+Cooper "Famous Republicans"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120507014230/http://www.zimbio.com/Famous+Republicans/articles/GiOVZw1djN-/Alice+Cooper |date=May 7, 2012 }} (accessed May 8, 2012), Cooper is a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]].</ref> In December 2018, Cooper predicted that the next U.S. president would be "worse" than [[Donald Trump]], while arguing that musicians talking politics to their fans was an "abuse of power".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/alice-cooper-next-president-worse-than-trump/ |title=Alice Cooper Predicts Next U.S. President Will Be 'Worse Than Trump' |first=Martin |last=Kielty |website=ultimateclassicrock.com |date=December 30, 2018 |access-date=February 17, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217100103/https://ultimateclassicrock.com/alice-cooper-next-president-worse-than-trump/ |archive-date=February 17, 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref> Every four years since releasing his single "Elected" in 1972, Cooper has satirically run for president.<ref name=":1" /> In 2023, Cooper made remarks against health care for [[transgender youth]], suggested women would be sexually assaulted in bathrooms if transgender women were permitted access and called most instances of [[transgender]] identity a "fad," resulting in the loss of a cosmetics branding deal.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Daw |first=Stephen |date=2023-08-23 |title=Alice Cooper Calls Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Kids a 'Fad,' Condemns 'the Whole Woke Thing' |url=https://www.billboard.com/culture/pride/alice-cooper-transgender-healthcare-kids-fad-1235398217/ |access-date=2025-04-07 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Robledo |first=Anthony |title='I find it wrong': Cosmetics brand ends Alice Cooper collection after he called trans people a 'fad' |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/08/29/alice-cooper-loses-cosmetics-deal-calling-trans-people-a-fad/70713576007/ |access-date=2025-04-07 |website=USA TODAY |language=en-US}}</ref> ===Sports=== Cooper is a fan of both the [[National Hockey League|NHL]]'s [[Detroit Red Wings]] and [[Arizona Coyotes]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/detroit-shock-rocker-alice-cooper-loves-hockey-1.1257781 |title=Detroit shock rocker Alice Cooper loves hockey |work=[[CBC News]] |location=Canada |access-date=February 20, 2012 |date=February 20, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220182603/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/story/2012/02/20/wdr-alice-cooper-hockey-fan.html |archive-date=February 20, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> On February 18, 2012, the Coyotes gave away his [[bobblehead]] in a promotion for the first 10,000 fans for a game with the [[Dallas Stars]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/gametracker/recap/NHL_20120218_DAL@PHO |title=NHL Recap – Dallas Stars at Phoenix Coyotes |date=February 18, 2012 |work=[[CBS Sports]] |access-date=April 17, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140419012354/http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/gametracker/recap/NHL_20120218_DAL@PHO |archive-date=April 19, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/05/alice-cooper-red-wings-song-lightning-game | title=Alice Cooper debuts new Red Wings-inspired track, and it's actually not bad | date=May 2, 2021 }}</ref> Cooper is a longtime baseball fan, supporting the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] and [[Detroit Tigers]].
