Christopher Nolan ‘loves to gossip’, says Emily Blunt | Entertainment

Emily Blunt has revealed that her Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan likes to “gossip”.

The 41-year-old actress, who played Kitty Oppenheimer in the Oscar-nominated atomic bomb epic, says the 53-year-old director is nothing like what people expect and is “so underrated as a person.”

Speaking to Australia’s WHO magazine, she said: “Someone calls and says they want to meet, and at that moment you put on a jetpack and go, run. His ideas are so vast that they go beyond your normal understanding of things. Maybe that’s what keeps everyone glued to their seats, the sense of wonder it evokes in people. And yet he is such a reserved person. He doesn’t walk around like this walking brain; he watches Love Actually every year. He loves gossip. We were on set and I was like, “Chris, have you heard about this thing?” And he says, “No. What? Tell me.” He’s so wonderful and cool. And I just adore him.”

Meanwhile, Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy recently revealed that Nolan is using members of his family to write his films.

The 47-year-old star, who has worked with the director on six films, said scripts are always printed on red paper to prevent them from being photocopied, and the director ensures secrecy by having trusted relatives deliver them by hand. his stars if he can’t do it himself.

The actor told GQ magazine: “So it was his mom who used to bring me the script. Or his brother, he will leave and return in three hours.”

“Part of it is keeping the story under wraps before it comes out. But part of this is due to tradition. They’ve always done it this way, so why stop now? It really adds a ritual to it that I really appreciate. It suits me.”
