Brill casting!
Agreed, OP. Bradley Cooper is perfect for the role of Jon Peters. It's funny - Peters was such a big celebrity back in the '70s and yet is utterly forgotten today. I was trying to imagine a hairdresser today reaching such a level or fame and then realized that no one is as famous today as the most famous people of the '70s were in their heydays. There were so few media outlets back then compared to today that it was easier to become a household name.
Anyway, yes ... Bradley Cooper IS Jon Peters, except that Peters was straight, AFAIK.

I think you mean "ugly as fuck." That beard covered up the fact that he was homely as a horse's ass. And isn't he supposed to be a douchebag to end all douchebags? No wonder he clicked with Streisand. They're both horrible people. I remember hearing back in the day that he won Streisand's heart after pleasuring her to ecstasy with oral sex. EEEEWW.

Thanks, R81. That room is better than some of the other rooms she's decorated. Her taste has actually suffered as she's gotten older--as a very young woman she bought beautiful Art Nouveau pieces and then moved on to Art Deco, and finally amassed an important Arts and Crafts collection, and she's owned some wonderful paintings as well. But she sold it all and now she's as bland as can be.
And I AM a fan.

Jon Peters was a short, obnoxious punk in the 70s and 80s, An illiterate, loud, horses' ass. He was hated by just about anyone who got near him. The definition of jerk. Very much like Trump without the class, and that's saying a lot. Peters had a cute quality with the beard in his youth, but once he talked, well you should listen to it, barf.

R81, that living room was the renovation by tenants of the place long after Streisand left, the photo was used when the owners were selling a couple of years ago. It looks like a hotel lounge. Babs tends to go crazy, and just like her singing, over decorates everything. You can barely walk through it without getting dizzy from the wallpaper.
She MUST be in this movie, otherwise there's no reason to do it.
