'Love told through music': Bradley Cooper talks new biopic 'Maestro'

At a special screening of 'Maestro', Bradley Cooper spoke to ITV News Entertainment Reporter Rishi Davda about how he spent six years learning master composer Leonard Bernstein's craft in order to do the musical visionary justice on the silver screen

Cooper spent six years learning the late conductor's craft.
