Christopher Nolan reveals the first time an actor said no to him was David Bowie, and he had to personally beg him to change his mind. Jimmy Fallon: Have you ever gotten a “no”? Christopher Nolan: Have I ever gotten a “no”? Yeah, I have. Jimmy Fallon: Besides me when I said I didn’t want to do Batman. Christopher Nolan: The only “no” I’ll admit to is David Bowie for The Prestige. He was my great idol, and I thought he’d be perfect to play Nikola Tesla. Christopher Nolan: We sent him the script and everything, and he said no. It was the first time I ever went back and said, “Can I just go and meet him? Can I try and convince him in the room?” Christopher Nolan: They agreed, so I quickly wrote him a better speech for his first appearance, showed up with a new script, and basically begged. I managed to turn that “no” into a “yes.” Jimmy Fallon: Yes! But you did get a “no” from the coolest kid in school.

Zendaya reveals how she freaked out when Tom Holland told her about starring in The Odyssey. "He had the script, and I may have taken a little peek. I had to know. He had a Christopher Nolan script in my house, what am I gonna do? So I looked" "Then he went off to his meeting, and when he came home, I was like, 'Okay! Tell me all about it! How was it? What was it like?' You know what I mean? I was so ready, so excited" "And he goes, 'Read this again.' And I was like, 'What? Why? We just read it last night.' He was like, 'Read it again, but with Athena in mind.' And I was like, 'Yo, stop it right there'" "I freaked out. I was so grateful. And the fact that he got to be the one to tell me, it was so special"

Travis Scott reveals Christopher Nolan personally called him to star in The Odyssey “My phone went off and it just said, ‘Chris.’ I'm thinking, okay, I don't know what this is about. Maybe he wants to go to a show” “I pick up and he's like, ‘Would you be interested in acting in a movie?’ I'm like I mean I guess... I didn't even think it was for him” “He's like, ‘Well, I'm working on this movie. I haven't really told people about it yet and I want you to be in it” “I'm like whoa, wait you know I make music?” “He gave me his whole thesis on why. He's a real mentor of mine, so I was like whatever you're down with, I'm down” “I showed up thinking it was just going to be me and maybe some extras. I didn't know it was going to be Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson and all these amazing people”

Matt Damon says he accepted Christopher Nolan’s next movie before Nolan even told him it was The Odyssey “About 15 minutes into the call, he said, ‘I’m thinking of going back to work, and I’d like to offer you the central role’ So I just said yes right away” “He goes, ‘Don’t you want to hear what it is?’ I was like, sure” “It’s a two word pitch: The Odyssey.

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan was the only exception to the acting break he promised his wife Stephen: "you and your wife agreed that you wouldn’t act for a while. So what gives? Matt: “We had a very specific arrangement. I had a feeling Chris Nolan might have a movie coming up. I had no idea if there was a part for me, but I left that one door open. I said, ‘If Chris Nolan were to call me...’” “Our marriage is the second most important thing. No, that’s not true. To be fair, she’s a massive fan of his movies too. She was like, ‘If he calls, then you can do that.’ Then he did, which was great”

Tom Cruise admits his entire role in Rain Man only happened because his sister forced him to harass a stranger in a restaurant "We were at a restaurant... and she goes 'There's Dustin Hoffman.' I looked up and there he was with a hat, he was doing Death of a Salesman... and she goes 'You go over and you say hello to him.'" "I don't walk up to people and introduce myself. But she was so pushy... and she literally said, 'Look, if you don't do it, I'm going to just go over and I'm going to tell him who you are.'" "I said excuse me, Mr. Hoffman, I'm sorry. And he looked at me and went, 'Cruise?' And I went, 'Yeah.'" "As I was leaving he said, 'I want to make a movie with you'... and basically he sent me, a year later, he sent Rain Man to me."

Brett Goldstein reveals he almost turned down a dinner invite from Harrison Ford before casting him in Shrinking. "We were like, obviously we can’t get Harrison Ford. But someone like him would be great. Whereas Jason Segel, I actually don’t think there was an alternative. We had no backup plan." "But we sent the script to Ford's agent. His agent read it and liked it, and then sent it to him, and then he wanted to do it. It was fucking mad" "Ford called me, he said, 'Do you want to meet for dinner on Saturday?' But I had a stand-up gig, and I was like, 'I can't, I've got a gig.' Bill was like, 'Are you fucking mad? You cancel the gig, it's Harrison Ford.' I was like, 'I can't, 40 people have bought tickets.'" "I go to his apartment, he answers the door, and he looks like Indiana Jones. And he goes, 'Best script I’ve ever read.' And I go, 'Shrinking?'... I think he must be confused; he thinks I'm someone else." "I go, 'Do you want to be in it?' and he goes, 'Yeah.' I go, 'Is that business done?' and he goes, 'Looks like it.' And he went, 'Let's eat.'" "He's 80, and he's doing a new challenge. He's fucking funny, but he's never been considered a comedian. I realized this is exciting for him."

Kristen Bell reveals Dax Shepard broke up with her, then called her back just four days later. “ He did break up with me very early on. I may have scared him a little because I wanted to spend all our time together. I was very excited, and he had just gotten out of a relationship and wanted more freedom. I don’t think he wanted everything I was presenting to him.” “ He sat me down and said, ‘I don’t think we’re in the same place. I really, really enjoy you.’ At that point, I was definitely in love with him. We were a month and a half in, and I was heartbroken. Even thinking about it breaks my heart.” “ He said, ‘I’m still casually dating other people.’ I definitely wasn’t. But he was very upfront. He said, ‘That’s not what you deserve, and I’m not going to give you anything half-assed.’ In a way, he was extremely responsible with my heart, even though he broke it.” “Then, four days later, he texted me: ‘I’m just joking. I can’t do this. I really would like to be with you again.’” “I went over to his house, but I was a little guarded. He had planned a trip to the Bahamas for New Year’s and said, ‘I should probably let them know if you’re going to come on the trip.’” “I said, ‘If you want to invite me on a trip, you can ask me like a lady.’” “I gave him some grief after that, and I think it set the tone for our relationship.” “My therapist had said, ‘Maybe make him earn you back just a little bit. Don’t play a game, but don’t go back like some happy, dumb puppy dog.’” “So he did. He said, ‘I would really like it if you would accompany me to the Bahamas for New Year’s. Would you like to come?’” “And I said, ‘Yes, I would love to.’”

Lupita Nyong'o reveals how it felt working with Christopher Nolan and why she felt like she co-directed her scene in The Odyssey. "He will ask you to do things you've never done before, that's for sure" "I played Helen and Clytemnestra. I was playing Clytemnestra, and we were doing the scene where Agamemnon comes home and I had to put him through a bathing ritual" "Chris turns to me and says, 'Lupita, will you direct the background actors and give them their tasks?' And I just thought, 'Wait, have I ever done this before? I'm acting in this, and now I have to direct other people. Isn't there someone else who's supposed to do this?'" "Thank God I'd done my homework, so I knew the kinds of things that I wanted to be done around me" "I gathered these people together and I gave them tasks, and then I had to do my own task, and then keep an eye on what they were doing so that when he said, 'Cut,' I could give them notes to do it better" "Then I thought to myself, 'I think I just co-directed with Christopher Nolan'"

John David Washington says he showed up 30 minutes late to Christopher Nolan's house, barely understood the script the first time he read it........and still walked away with the lead role. Josh Horowitz: "Again, this crazy, amazing honor opportunity. Not many people get to be the protagonist, literally, in a Chris Nolan movie." "Does he deliver a script? Is it a conversation? How does it go down?" David Washington: "Yeah, I was told to be at his house at a certain time, and we're gonna talk about something. That was it." "I was in there like, maybe he's doing research for something else... We talked about movies and we talked about like how I love the movie, like movies. We talked about our love for films and, and just life and sports and stuff like that." "So after the meeting, I was like... I was thirty minutes late to the meeting. I was running up to the gate and like sweating profusely... And Emma greets me at the door, his wife, producing partner, and she's just laughing." "I think she could see how panicked I was... But we end up staying two and two and a half hours, and then after that, I got the call saying, 'Uh, will you be the protagonist?'" "I went crazy. We went, we had like three dinners, like it was like a Super Bowl... I felt like I made the Hall of Fame." On reading the script in Nolan's office: "I'm in Christopher Nolan's office reading a script of his. What is my life? ...I didn't understand that shit. Like, it took about three some plus hours to read it, you know?" "But I really did sincerely understand there's a way into the character... I kinda liked it. I can create, we can create together, and he kinda left that to me. He really trusted me with that. And I really love him for it because he didn't have to." "That's Christopher Nolan. He has his way... But it was quite the opposite. He wanted me to use my instincts."

Jake Gyllenhaal says Christopher Nolan personally called him after he auditioned for Batman and lost the role to Christian Bale “You've gone through the auditions and then you get to the room. It's like a screen test, and you put on the thing. You put on the costume” Howard: “Then you get that far where it's down to you, Christian Bale, and I don't know how many other guys. Then who calls you to say, ‘No, they gave it to Christian,’ after all that prep and everything you put into it?” Jake: “I remember getting a call from Christopher Nolan and just being like, I actually got a call personally from Christopher Nolan. That's pretty cool. I've gotten pretty far. I went from them going, ‘We're not so sure about him,’ to a call saying, ‘We were really thinking about you for this.’ And I'm like, all right.

Abel Ferrara and screenwriter Nicholas St. John wrote King of New York specifically with Christopher Walken in mind - despite never having met him. Getting Walken was an absolute must. Abel explains what it was like meeting with him for the first time to discuss doing the role: "Walken showed up as advertised, tall, elegant, mysterious, and like every time I would ever meet with him he just appeared, alone, carrying a black bag like a doctor. We all sat quiet for a moment. I had no idea where to begin. He started talking. He said you can’t play a king; it’s the attitude of the other actors toward you that makes you one. Then he stood up and said, “I read the script and I know exactly what you guys want, and I can give it to you.” We couldn’t even manage a response. He said he had to go and left, never having taken off his coat. I went right to the phone to call Jay (Julien, the producer) to try to figure out what just happened. He said, “Well, I guess you have your actor.” Quote from GQ
