A Star Is... Forlorn? Bradley Cooper looks downcast as he takes a break from shooting A Star Is Born in LA with Lady Gaga

New dad Bradley Cooper is starring in and directing the A Star Is Born remake.

The pressure must be intense, which may be why the actor, 42, looked to be in a serious mood on set Wednesday. 

The star kept his head down as he modeled a tight-fitting navy blue T-shirt and blue-tinted glasses.

The former World's Sexiest Man Alive looked casual in dark blue jeans and sneakers, as he made sure he was comfortable on set. 

The Hangover star - who welcomed daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper with girlfriend Irina Shayk on March 21 - had his hair long and fairly unkempt. 

He was sporting a generous amount of scruffy facial hair - presumably in keeping with his role as an alcoholic country star in the movie.

He covered much of his handsome features with dark glasses. 

Bradley is directing and starring alongside Lady Gaga - who is making her feature film debut in the the Warner Bros. remake of the musical drama. 

The 31-year-old Golden Globe winner - who will be billed by her birth name Stefani Germanotta for the tragic romance - was also spotted on set.

On Tuesday Gaga was also seen flashing her abs as she sported a crop top and jeans, while hoisting an overnight bag over her shoulder.  

She plays a talented unknown called Ally who's shepherded by alcoholic country star Jackson Maine (Cooper).

It will be the fourth Hollywood re-telling of the story. The first version was released in 1937 and starred Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. 

In 1954, Judy Garlsan took the title role opposite James Mason, and in 1976 Brabra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson remade the dramatic musical again.

The current project's sound mixer Steve Morrow recently revealed that Gaga will be singing all the songs in the film - including a few she's penned - live on the set.

'You sit there and you think, "Lady Gaga wants all the vocals live. She wants to perform live every single time you see her sing. She's going to be live,"' the Oscar nominee told the Next Best Picture Podcast in February. 

The movie is slated for release in September 2018.
