The American actor, who is not Jewish, has courted controversy for ‘sinister’ nose in forthcoming film Maestro
Hollywood star Bradley Cooper has prompted a row over “Jewface” after being accused of playing to anti-Semitic stereotypes by donning an exaggerated prosthetic nose for his latest film.
The 48-year-old actor is playing American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein in his upcoming biopic, Maestro.
The production is one of the most highly-anticipated films this year, due to reach British cinemas on November 22.
But Netflix’s release of the film’s trailer this week triggered an immediate backlash, with critics claiming the prosthetic nose worn by Mr Cooper was offensive.
