READ TIME: 1 MIN.
In "Maestro," the new Netflix biopic on conductor Leonard Bernstein, his bisexual life will be seen on the screen for the first time with Bradley Cooper doing triple duty as producer/director/star.
One such moment was captured on the set this week in New York City when Cooper kissed co-star Matt Bomer. In the film, according to a report from the website Pinkvilla, Bomer plays a clarinet player with whom Bernstein had a relationship.
"The Oscar-nominated actor and the Golden Globe-winning star were reenacting a romantic scene for the upcoming movie on the streets of New York City on Monday, June 6. They were pictured sharing a tender smooch in front of camera," writes the website AceShowBiz.
In the pic, Bomer is seen cradling Cooper's face while they kiss outside a park. Cooper is wearing a 1950s-styled trench coat�over a white dress shirt and black trousers with a green polka dot bowtie. While Bomer wears a dark red-and-blue tie and black slacks under a grey wool jacket.
Cooper will play Bernstein over different periods of his life, including old age. Last week Netflix teased with pics of the Oscar-nominated star looking remarkably like Bernstein.
"The biopic is said to focus on his marriage to actress�Felicia Montealegre," adds AceShowBiz. "Though he married the Chilean-American stage and TV performer, he then acknowledged his homosexuality. Throughout the course of their marriage, he had brief extramarital liaisons with young men, which several family friends have said his wife knew about. 'White Collar' alum Bomer is said to portray a clarinet player with whom Bernstein had a brief romance."
