Maestro: Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan star in trailer<\/h3>\n

When the first teaser trailer for Maestro arrived in August, Bradley Cooper received a ton of backlash for what some people perceived as \u201cJewface\u201d.<\/p>\n

The writer, director and star plays Jewish composer Leonard Bernstein, despite not being a Jew and wore a false nose for the part that is expected to get an Oscars nomination.<\/p>\n

Actress Tracey-Ann Obermann wrote on social media: \u201cIf [Cooper] needs to wear a prosthetic nose then that is, to me and many others, the equivalent of Black-Face or Yellow-Face.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Bradley Cooper can\u2019t [play the role] through the power or acting alone then don\u2019t cast him \u2013 get a Jewish Actor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s Daniel Fienberg called the prosthetics \u201cproblematic\u201d, describing the biopic as \u201cethnic cosplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bernstein\u2019s children have since come to Cooper\u2019s defence, but the portrayal remains controversial as the new trailer arrives today.<\/p>\n

They wrote on social media: \u201cIt breaks our hearts to see any misrepresentations or misunderstandings of [Cooper\u2019s] efforts \u2026 Bradley chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance, and we\u2019re perfectly fine with that. We\u2019re also certain that our dad would have been fine with it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
