Is Hollywood suffering from its casting controversies? – BBC News

Bradley Cooper’s portrayal of composer Leonard Bernstein is the latest in a line of casting controversies in Hollywood.

The first trailer for Maestro, which Cooper both directs and stars in, was released earlier this week.

It attracted some criticism over the size of Cooper’s nose, which some social media users said played up to offensive Jewish stereotypes.

Elsewhere, the casting choices for the new live-action Snow White film and Dame Helen Mirren as former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir have also been hit with backlash and criticism in recent months.
