He talked about doing a Skype audition withTom Cruise, the importance of having sincere talks with the director prior to filming, working with Director of PhotographyCésar Charlone, if he was upset that he wasn’t dancing withOscar IsaacinEx Machina, his reaction readingRian Johnson’sStar Wars: The Last Jediscript for the first time, doing Immaturity for Charity with his dad Brendan Gleeson, how we both thinkAlex Garland’sAnnihilationwill be awesome, and so much more.
If you haven’t seen theAmerican Madetrailers, it’s based on the true story of Barry Seal, a U.S. pilot recruited by the CIA to work in covert operations.
