This Thanksgiving, Bradley Cooper will be spending the holidays with a special family. In his recent appearance on the Stephen Colbert show, the 48-year-old actor and director of the new film Maestro revealed that he and his family will be joining the family of the late Leonard Bernstein for Thanksgiving.
Cooper has been working on the film for years, and recently made a remarkable transformation to portray the composer, conductor, and musician. However, his metamorphosis into the role sparked a lot of controversy, as some people criticized the film’s use of prosthetics on the actor.
The Bernstein family, including his children Jamie, Alexander, and Nina, quickly stepped in to defend the actor from the backlash. They released a statement, saying that Cooper “included the three of us along every step of his amazing journey as he made his film about our father.”
In an interview with Gayle King, Cooper revealed that he was touched by the support, but he wasn’t surprised by the criticism. He explained that he chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance to Bernstein, and that his nose was actually quite similar to the composer’s.
Maestro is out in cinemas now, and will be dropping on Netflix on December 20. This Thanksgiving, Bradley Cooper will be spending the day with the Bernstein family, celebrating the legacy of the legendary composer who died in 1990 at the age of 72.
