Leonard Bernstein’s family shared their reaction to Bradley Cooper’s prosthetic nose in ‚Maestro.‘
After the teaser trailer for the Leonard Bernstein biopic, Maestro, was released Aug. 15, Bradley Cooper received backlash for wearing a prosthetic nose to play the famous composer. However, Leonard’s three children — Jamie, Alexander and Nina Bernstein — released a statement the following day, on Aug. 16, to defend Bradley, 48, who also directed the upcoming Netflix flick about Leonard’s life.
“Bradley Cooper included the three of us along every step of his amazing journey as he made his film about our father,” the kids wrote in their statement shared on Leonard’s Twitter. “We were touched to the core to witness the depth of his commitment, his loving embrace of our father’s music, and the sheer open-hearted joy he brought to his exploration,” they added.
