The Elephant Man tells the true story of John Merrick (
Bradley Cooper), a 19th century British man with severe deformities known as a sideshow attraction who gained fame under the care of Dr. Frederick Treves (
Alessandro Nivola) when London's high society embraced him. Here, Cooper, Nivola and castmates — along with director
Scott Ellis — talk about the legacy and enduring interest in the redemptive story of John Merrick. See a
Photo Call from the show's media event.
