Eric Andre says he casually turned down the role that won Kieran Culkin an Oscar in the movie “A real pain” because spending two months in Poland making a depressing Holocaust movie with Jesse Eisenberg sounded like “a fucking drag” only to watch the Oscars months later and hear his rejected role announced as the winner. Howard Stern: “You turned down an Academy Award-winning role. He would have had an Oscar. Kieran Culkin’s role in A Real Pain. He won the Oscar.” “So Jesse Eisenberg emails me out of nowhere. I don’t even know how he gets my email. “‘Hey, do you want to play a role where you’re my cousin and we visit the concentration camps in Poland?’ “It’s a thing that Jews do. They visit the concentration camps in Poland, and all my grandmother’s family got annihilated in the concentration camps in Poland. “So I read the script, and it’s depressing. My mom, any time she’s in town, she goes, ‘Do you want to go to a Holocaust Memorial Museum?’ “And I go, ‘Ma, we’ve been to every fucking Holocaust Memorial Museum in the world.’ “And Jesse was rushing me for an answer. I mean, he needs to make the movie. And I was about to do another project, and I was like, ‘Do I want to go to Poland and talk about the Holocaust for two months with Jesse Eisenberg?’ “I was like, ‘Seemed like a fucking drag.’ “So he asked me for an answer, and I go, ‘You know what? And it wasn’t big money. It was an independent movie. They didn’t have a big budget. It wasn’t big money. “‘I appreciate the offer, and I’m sure it’s gonna be great, and you’re great. You’re a great talented guy, and I know you’re rushing for an answer because you want to make the movie, but let me just I don’t know if it’s for me, man. Let me just pass.’ “And I don’t even think about it. “I don’t know if it’s for me. Talk to you later. “My friends are outside, barbecue. We had a little, like, Oscar watch party. We’re half paying attention. It’s just an excuse to eat chicken wings and drink some wine. “And I sit down and it’s like, ‘And the Academy Award goes to Kieran Culkin for the role Eric Andre passed on.’ “And I just like my chicken wing just falls out of my mouth into my wine, and I’m like, ‘Wait.’ “And then the worst thing is my mom calls me and she goes, ‘You passed on that? Your ancestors died in those concentration camps and you don’t want to talk about it?’ “My mom’s like, guilt tripping me after I already get a cosmic kick in the crotch.”

Matt Damon says George Clooney was earning around $20K an episode on “ER” while his co-star made $1M, because renegotiating his contract would’ve meant giving the show more years when he wanted to pursue movies instead. “When we started, it was different. I mean, like George Clooney, for instance, there was a big thing.” “He very famously became this superstar on ER.” “That show, 40 million people a week were watching that show. It was the biggest thing, right? Because there were only a few channels to tune into, and that show was the biggest one.” “And George never renegotiated his contract. He wanted to work in movies, and it was like, ‘You can’t go from TV to movies.’” “It’s very hard. Very few people can do it.” “And he really strategically and kind of patiently… he joked that on the last episode he was on, Anthony Edwards, his co-star, was making a million bucks for the episode.” “And he was making, you know, 20 grand or whatever his deal was.” “He could have renegotiated, but he would have had to give more years.” “That’s how bad he wanted to get off TV and do movies.”

Christopher Nolan says tattoos created hours of extra makeup work on “The Odyssey” and even Matt Damon showed up with one “And I actually had a moment with him at his first wardrobe fitting because we’d been fitting all of the supporting cast, all the guys who play his crew, and some younger actors and everything.” “And they’d all come in and they’ve all got tattoos, which is a nightmare for a period film.” “It means hours in makeup, because you have to cover all that up, and then put the costume on, and then rain and wind, and, you know, costume will rub it away.” “And I, you know, and I thought, okay, well, he is, you know, he takes his shirt off for the fitting, and he’s got a fucking tattoo.” “And I was like, ‘Not you as well, like what?’” “And it was, you know, a very small, tasteful tattoo, you know, the name of his children and all that.” “And he said to me, ‘Well, in order to be perfectly honest, I thought my bare bicep days were over.’” “And I said, ‘Okay, fair enough. The truth is, I think they’re just beginning.’” “So yeah, a little extra time in the chair.”

Matt Damon says David Fincher once watched an entire scene of Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike acting their hearts out on “gone girl”, only to completely dismiss the take because a background actor walked across the bookstore “like a zombie” and Fincher immediately demonstrated the difference by pointing out how a makeup artist naturally walked because she actually had somewhere to go. “So when he calls background and then action, a background actor walks across the frame.” “All right? “Then Ben and Rosamund enter the bookstore, and the scene’s about to start, but Fincher’s already monologuing.” “He’s going, ‘Who the fuck walks like that?’ “And it’s the background artist that he’s… it just instantly caught his eye.” “He goes, ‘I mean, what the fuck was that? What the fuck? Who the fuck walks like that? Nobody walks like that.’ “Now Ben and Rosamund are on the other side of this bookstore, and they’re doing the scene, but Fincher’s just still talking about this.” “And I’m sitting here going like, ‘Oh my God, they’re definitely gonna do the scene again. Like, this take is completely… it’s shot. It’s shot. It’s just shot.’ “And so they get through the whole scene. They’re acting their hearts out. It’s great, but it doesn’t matter because the scene ended before it began.” “And Fincher goes, ‘Cut.’ “He takes the headphones off. He’s like, ‘I mean, what the fuck was that?’ “And he looks at me.” “Now I know what he’s talking about.” “The background artist was told to go from point A to point B, and they were not thinking about anything other than going from point A to point B.” “Like a zombie. “And it looks ridiculous. He’s not wrong, but it’s just not worth… It’s like, okay, just make a note of that, but it just ruined the whole thing for him.” “And we’re sitting there, and as we’re talking, a makeup artist comes on because Rosamund’s still in the frame, and she’s gonna, like, powder her forehead or whatever.” “She comes on, and David just goes, ‘I mean, that’s how you walk.’ “Like, because she, you know, because she had a place to go. She had a reason to go there, right?” “And so she’s not thinking about walking. She’s thinking about, ‘I gotta do my touch-up. I only have about ten seconds. I gotta get out. We gotta do the scene again.’ “So I think, you know, and I think for people like that, it’s almost like a curse.”

George Clooney says “Gravity” was supposed to be an eight-week, $30 million “little art space film,” but Alfonso Cuarón spent a year and a half building technology from scratch until the budget hit around $100 million so much so that Warner Bros. thought the movie was a disaster and sold off a huge chunk of it the day before it opened, only for it to make over $1 billion. “When we were doing Gravity, we thought we were shooting here, and we thought we were going to be here for, like, that was an eight-week shoot.” “Like this little art I’m not kidding. This is absolutely true little art space film.” “We were going to shoot it for like 30 million dollars.” “And bit by bit he’s creating this technology while we were shooting, building a plane while you’re flying it, you know.” “And bit by bit you’re like, ‘Oh shit, this is getting bigger.’” “And it was a year and a half, literally.” “Yeah, a year and a half.” “And then Warner Brothers was like, ‘I think this is a disaster,’ and nobody wanted to show it.” “And Warner Brothers, the day before the movie opened, sold off a huge chunk of the movie because they were like, ‘We’re going to eat’” “I think it cost 100 million, which sounds like a lot, but for a movie that size it was really not much.” “And they were like, ‘Well, we’ll sell off 50 million back from this other group.’” “And then it opened and it was, you know, made a billion dollars and they all look like idiots.” “But it was Alfonso working as if it was a small little film and then getting swallowed up by a lot of technology.” “But it was still watching him in that room talking about behavior between two people and talking about events, you know.”

Tom Holland says “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” wouldn’t be half the movie it is without director Destin Daniel Cretton “I think we can all agree that Destin nailed it.” “We are so lucky to have Destin as the captain of our ship. You know, he came into this process when the movie was going in a hundred different directions, and really what we needed was someone to come in and focus us all on one idea.” “And what's so amazing about Destin is that he's able to do that and focus on this idea of what is life like for a young person who is alone.” “And that is something that people deal with all across the world. It doesn't sacrifice the action, it doesn't sacrifice the scope and scale of the movie.” “So if we didn't have Destin, this movie wouldn't be half of what it is.”
