CELEBRITY SPOTTING: Bradley Cooper in town for private screening of ‘A Star is Born’ with his friend Dave Chappelle

The special event included a Q&A with both superstars. Cooper plays Jackson Maine, a singer-songwriter suffering from the excess of being on top. He meets and mentors a young singer, Ally (Lady Gaga). The film follows their relationship. Chappelle plays Noodles, a good friend to Cooper’s character.

Chappelle’s daughter, Sanaa, also has a role in the film.

Cooper said he traveled to Yellow Springs twice to convince Chappelle to take this role. One of those trips was to Chappelle’s famous Juke Joint in 2016, which Cooper said inspired a wedding scene in the film.
