In the Academy Award-nominated movie “Licorice Pizza,” Bradley Cooper steals the show with an unhinged cameo as Hollywood producer Jon Peters: blowing up at an assistant, physically threatening teenagers, shamelessly throwing himself at a much younger woman, tossing a trash can through a plate-glass window, and giving a stressful tutorial on how to pronounce the surname of his girlfriend, Barbara Streisand.

It’s no exaggeration, according to sources who know the actual Peters — a beautician turned movie producer turned studio head with a reputation for being an egomaniacal wild man.

In real life, “He once pulled a gun on a pair of repairmen” who were trying to collect payment on a $150 landscaping bill, biographer Kim Masters told The Post.

During his glory days, Peters allegedly hosted lavish dinners where sex with prostitutes topped the menu.
