Results: Bradley Cooper accused of 'Jewface' over fake nose in 'Maestro,'

Bradley Cooper is facing mounting backlash over his use of a prosthetic nose while depicting composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming movie "Maestro." The biographical romance, which Cooper co-wrote, produced and directed, tells the story of Bernstein, who famously co-created "West Side Story," with a focus on the composer's 25-year marriage to Felicia Montealegre. Does the premise of this movie interest you?

Several social media users said the film was a clear case of "Jewface," a term used to characterize stereotypical or inauthentic portrayals of Jewish people, with some also questioning why Cooper, who is not publicly known to be Jewish, was playing a famous Jewish person in the first place. The children of Bernstein issued a statement in defense of Cooper, saying that the actor included them in his "journey" to play Bernstein and the misunderstanding breaks their hearts. "It's true that Leonard Bernstein had a nice, big nose," the statement said. "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." Do you think Cooper using a prosthetic nose to depict a Jewish character is offensive?
