Comedian Dave Chappelle plays Cooper’s oldest friend, who used to perform with him at blues clubs, in Warner Bros. remake of A Star in Born starring Bradley Cooper and Stefani Germanotta aka Lady Gaga.

There’s been chit chat that the superstar musician and entertainer may credit her performance with her real name in the credits line.

Here’s the comedian last week in downtown Los Angeles filming the new movie about a has-been rock star who falls in love with a young, up-and-coming songstress.

In theaters September 28, 2018, oscar nominated Cooper directs and produces.
