Bradley Cooper earned rave reviews for his lead performance in Guillermo Del Toro's Nightmare Alley, but the eight-time Oscar nominee was not necessarily the director's first choice for the job.

It was Leonardo DiCaprio, who Del Toro originally cast in the role of Stanton Carlisle, a drifter and con artist who rises from lowly carnival worker to a renowned mentalist.
