—had released a joint statement standing behind Cooper. “Bradley Cooper included the three of us along every step of his amazing journey as he made this film about our father,” began the statement. “We were touched to the core to witness the depth of his commitment, his loving embrace of our father’s music and the sheer open-hearted joy he brought to his exploration. It breaks our hearts to see any misrepresentations or misunderstandings of his efforts.
The statement went on to directly address Cooper’s use of a prosthetic. “It happens to be true that Leonard Bernstein had a nice, big nose,” the statement continues. “Bradley chose to use makeup to amplify his resemblance, and we’re perfectly fine with that. We’re also certain that our dad would be fine with it as well.
The Bernsteins ended their statement by noting that Cooper had a “profound respect” for both of their parents. “We feel fortunate to have had this experience with Bradley, and we can’t wait for the world to see his creation.”
