It’s like saying, what’s your favorite Hitchcock movie?”
“No, I’m not,” the actor politely corrects.
“I remember seeingInterstellarin IMAX, on my own.
I just remember coming out in a terrible state.
It was so emotional.”
“Did no one else want to watch it with you?”
“I love escaping from the house,” says Murphy.
“My kids were little.
But it’s so emotional, that movie, that always gets me every time.”
“When I sent Cillian the script, he wasn’t entirely enthusiastic about playing the character.
And I said ‘No, I need you out on that boat.’
The character doesn’t have a name, all that.
I was like, job done!”
It’s a good answer.
But Downey has an arguably better one.
But we believe in you, sir.
