It was pretty fun [auditioning on the Millennium Falcon], because I enjoyed the material a lot. Last year I read for the directors, then came to England and did a test on the Falcon, then came back and did a couple more screen tests in Los Angeles.

That's something that Francis [Ford Coppola] would always say. I remember when I was doing Tetro, he said, Stay innocent. I'm 69 years old, and I'm still innocent.

There's a lot of complicated magical reasons why I'm not at the party that are too long and semantic to go into.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I'm kind of grateful that I didn't have any real success until I was older and basically out of high school. I think that was a real confidence boost for me, having it all start that way, in that very privileged position of having him vouch for me.

I buy myself a present whenever I don't get a role that I really wanted.

I talked to Woody Allen for half an hour or something. It was pretty incredible. He really went into lots of detail about the story [in Blue Jasmin] and what actually happened. Just talking to him is very surreal.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I remember calling and asking, because I had a few lines that were like, How could the character have done this? and I hadn't read the part of the script that said what she [ Cate Blanchett] did, so they put me on the phone with Woody... Allen. I don't know if I could really say Woody.

You get bummed out, and then you go, Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself. That kind of helps.
