As Jackson Maine inA Star Is Born,Bradley Cooperdoesnt look like himself.
Hes weathered, and borderline bronze, with a graying beard and a sexy weariness.
His beard is resplendent, hisvoice full-bodied.
But from where did this special effect the tan, the eyes, the beard come?
(Lady Gagas usual team, Neill said, handled Allys makeup.)
So she decided to take his look from Hollywood auteur to Arizona cowboy.
Bradley was so gracious and lovely, what a dream to work with.
He was just an absolute treat, said Neill.
Its funny, throughout my career Ive mostly worked with men.
I like making men look as good as they can possibly look.
Cooper agreed with her suggestions immediately.
He agreed, he said, Yes, I want to be tan.
I would get him a spray tan, maybe once a week.
We just wanted to keep a constant tan through the whole entire movie.
I used a self-tanner on him.
I told Neill I thought the tan was hot, becauseobviously!
I thought it was really hot, too, Neill said.
It gave his eyes a really glazed, bloodshot look, she said.
Neill also darkened Coopers beard to make Jackson Maine look more intense.
Did Neill have a hand in that scene?
Well, she was doing it, Neill said.
And I was wiping it off!
