DYK Christopher Nolan Apologised To Florence Pugh For Oppenheimer Role?
News 18Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus Oppenheimer wreaked havoc in the theatres upon its release on July 21. But, among other A-listed actors cast in the blockbuster film, it was Florence Pugh’s role of Jean Tatlock, Oppenheimer’s love interest, that completely stole the show. Speaking about the size of her character in a recent interview with MTV UK, Florence Pugh revealed that Nolan himself apologised to the actress for her limited screen time and even gave her the option to deny being a part of the project if she was not satisfied with such a small role. Recounting the day when Christopher Nolan first approached Florence Pugh to cast her as Jean Tatlock in Oppenheimer, the actress said that she had no clue about “what was going on” or what the film was about. While Florence Pugh played the role of Oppenheimer’s love interest, actress Emily Blunt essayed the character of Oppenheimer’s wife Kitty.
