7 months in news

The actor received backlash when the Netflix film’s trailer for the Leonard Bernstein biopic dropped in August with several Jewish entertainment industry figures decrying the added appendage as "Jewface" and antisemitic. Addressing the controversy, Cooper said on CBS Mornings on Tuesday "I thought, 'Maybe we don't need to do it.' But it's all about balance, and, you know, my lips are nothing like Lenny's, and my chin. And so we had that, and it just didn't look right (without the prosthetic)."
