‘Maestro’: Bradley Cooper stuns fans with his stunning makeover for biopic

Bradley Cooper seems nearly different in the first trailer for his highly awaited biography Maestro.

Cooper co-stars alongside fellow Oscar contender Carey Mulligan, Matt Bomer, and Maya Hawke in his first directorial attempt since A Star Is Born.

The 47-year-old actor plays legendary conductor and West Side Story composer Leonard Bernstein, while Mulligan plays his wife Felicia Montealegre, whose first look images were released by Netflix on Monday.

Cooper and co-star Carey Mulligan (who plays Bernstein’s wife Felicia Montealegre) are seen smiling in one snap, while Cooper is seen framing a shot on set in another. Cooper is unrecognisable as an old Bernstein in more shots.

Cooper teased Maestro during an interview with Mahershala Ali for Variety in January, revealing that he “wanted to be a conductor since I was a kid.”

Cooper also discussed how he jumped on the project after filmmaker Steven Spielberg was first involved.

“I always knew Steven Spielberg was aware of my love with conducting,” Cooper stated.

“He had this concept for a biopic and was talking to me about perhaps appearing in it. But I had just finished A Star Is Born. ‘Listen, all I want to do is write and direct movies,’ I said. I’ve always wanted to be a conductor, so may I examine the subject and see if I can compose and direct it? Would you allow me to do that?'”
