7) For A Star Is Born, Bradley Cooper spent six months with a dialect coach trying to imitate Sam Elliott's voice...before he even knew Elliott was going to be cast as his onscreen brother
For A Star is Born, Bradley Cooper put six months into mastering Sam Elliott's voice—six months before knowing the role was going to that actor himself, his brother in this film.
Such dedication has been reflected in the rapport between those two actors on screen. It has been covered in interview after interview how all that preparatory work that went into his voice and its portrayal influenced that chemistry and this performance.
This film and its reinvigoration of interest in musical dramas have also triggered much controversy over vocal realism that, when added in, does add real life to storytelling on the silver screen.
