A teaser for the new Netflix biopic “Maestro” shows Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein with a prosthetic nose, which has ignited controversy on social media.
“It breaks our hearts to see any misrepresentations or misunderstandings of his efforts,” they wrote in the post, adding that their father “had a nice, big nose.”
“Bradley chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance, and we’re perfectly fine with that. We’re also certain that our dad would have been fine with it as well,” they wrote. “Any strident complaints around this issue strike us above all as disingenuous attempts to bring a successful person down a notch — a practice we observed all too often perpetrated on our own father.
