“It’s a big swing this movie, I totally get that,” Cooper said . “But you can’t control what moves you. And I always wanted to tell a love story.” He added that Lady Gaga is “kind of a revelation in this movie.” The film is three years in the making, and features live-singing on real stages at festivals like Glastonbury and Coachella. A Star is Born hits theatres on 5 October. With inputs from AP
