Overview
- Speaking at BFI Southbank, director Josh Safdie confirmed Robert Pattinson secretly voices the match official heard early in the film, describing it as a small Easter egg.
- Safdie said Pattinson’s cameo was cast for authenticity in the British Open sequence and marks a quiet reunion after their 2017 collaboration on Good Time.
- At a DGA Theater Q&A with Robert Downey Jr., Chalamet recalled that a background performer told him, “I was just in jail for 30 years,” after Chalamet tried to provoke an angrier read during a motel scene.
- Chalamet framed the encounter within Safdie’s practice of using non‑actors and pushing multiple takes, noting the production’s intense, improvisational approach.
- The updates arrive alongside coverage of Chalamet’s awards momentum — Golden Globe and Critics Choice wins — and criticism of his press‑tour tone from comedian Chelsea Handler.
