Bradley Cooper is set to play American composer Leonard Bernstein in upcoming biopic Maestro that centres on the relationship between him and his wife Felicia Montealegre
The newly-released trailer for the Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, featuring Bradley Cooper in the lead role, has ignited a conversation online about the use of a prosthetic nose and casting choices that some believe perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
Critics argue that Bradley's use of a prosthetic nose and the casting of a non-Jewish actor in a Jewish role are unnecessary and offensive. They point out that there were no visual similarities between Bradley and Leonard that would warrant the use of such a prosthetic. As the conversation around representation continues to gain traction, some social media users are expressing their disappointment in the lack of Jewish actors considered for the role. Others acknowledge their support for Bradley Cooper's talent while still voicing concerns about the casting choice.
