            Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut is an ambitious one but what’s more ambitious is the direction that he’s going with his unique casting choices. Cooper will star in the film with Stefani Germanotta (aka Lady Gaga) but another supporting role has just been cast as THR reports that Dave Chappelle has joined A Star is Born.

            Chappelle will play Noodles, an old friend of Cooper’s that started playing in blues clubs with him back in the day. The cast is shaping up to be one of the most interesting in recent memory with Chappelle being the second stand-up comedian joining the fray as Andrew Dice Clay was cast as the father to Germanotta’s character. This role seems perfect for Chappelle and I’m excited to see what he can add to the production which is already one of my most-anticipated for 2018.

            Chappelle’s two most recent stand-up specials are available for streaming on Netflix currently. A Star is Born is set to hit theaters on September 28^th, 2018.
