Dave Chappelle Joining Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga in 'A Star Is Born'

[junolxf 8,654]

"Chappelle will play a character named Noodles, who is Cooper's oldest friend with whom he started out playing with in blues clubs.

Jon Peters, Bill Gerber and Basil Iwanyk are producing alongside Cooper. Warner Bros. has dated the feature for a Sept. 28, 2018, release.

Chappelle’s recent film credits include Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq and he hosted Saturday Night Live in November. He also has three new stand-up comedy specials coming up with Netflix, which will mark his first concert specials in 12 years."

He's a pro.

Same. But no.

 I remember when my mom would be asleep and me and my brother would watch his stand ups on comedy central.

 

how does he fit into a chickflick?

[Bolkins 4,125]

[The Surrealist 27,470]

He will be the comedic relief character.

He was in one of my favorite rom coms, You've Got Mail. 

I think he'll be a nice addition to ASIB.

Dave Chappelle is having a massive resurgence in popularity right now so this will definitely draw crowds. He's also funny af.

Not weird at all -- maybe they all met that night and Bradley realized he was perfect for the part, maybe this has been planned for months and they all hang out and support each other.
