Headline: Bradley Cooper supported by Anti-Defamation League over prosthetic nose controversy
Caption: The Hangover actor came under fire last week after the biopic's trailer was released, showing him wearing a large prosthetic nose to play legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. Several social media users claimed the fake nose was an exaggeration of Bernstein's, while some accused Cooper of performing in "Jewface". On Monday, representatives for the ADL, the international Jewish organisation fighting against bias and bigotry, insisted that his nose in Maestro is not antisemitic. "Throughout history, Jews were often portrayed in antisemitic films and propaganda as evil caricatures with large, hooked noses," the ADL said in a statement to TMZ.
