Yesterday we
This is his first lead role in an action movie where he plays a character called Joe who has to fight his future self (Bruce Willis) in a brilliant original story from Rian Johnson. JGL and Johnson worked together back in 2005 on a movie called Brick and they’ve been close friends ever since. Brick was a very small indie movie and Looper very much isn’t! I ask Joseph how his friend and Director has changed since making the 2005 film and things they’ve learnt along the way.
We also get to find out how he was able to take on the persona of his older self, Bruce Willis, how he felt about taking on that role and which movies he watched to help get into the Willis spirit! Like Johnson, I also ask JGL about working with Pierce Gagnon, a 5 year old actor who is simply brilliant in the movie and what it was like acting opposite him. We end talking about his movie that he shot with Spielberg called Lincoln and he tells us it’s going to blow us away.
Looper is out this Friday 28th September and is a must-see. Thanks to both Rian and Joseph for their time to talk about Looper.
