For me, each one of those experiences stands on its own. The first one was with Steven Spielberg, who helped me to get an agent and vouch for me, and that gave me the confidence to continue.

When I was 14 years old, I was by no means trying to work professionally at all.

The last three movies I've done, I played a cowboy, then I played a soldier, and now I play Han Solo. So the little kid in me is having a real joyride.

When Tetro came out, I met with Warren Beatty for the first time. I had, like, a four-and-a-half-hour lunch with him, and then over the next five years continued to meet with him and go to his house.

I had four years of auditions, and nothing happened, until Francis Ford Coppola took a shot on me ['Tetro' in 2009]. I hadn't done a film, and suddenly I was the lead.

Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.

I actually remember getting asked when we were at the Cannes Film Festival, what I expected to do next. I remember feeling like there was no way I could've imagined that something like Tetro would have happened to me.

Warren [Beatty] was very adamant and very encouraging of me to direct. It's definitely something that I'd like to pursue more in the future.

I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.

Image
I grew up watching a lot of old movies, so getting to ask about making movies in the '70s and people he was friends with, like Orson Welles, Lillian Hellman and Charlie Chaplin, and hearing a first-person account was pretty incredible.

I got turned down for a million jobs until I got my first movie with Francis [Ford Coppola].
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
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.

I've had a couple opportunities where I've been on the other side of the audition process as a director.
Alden Ehrenreich
Image
I had an audition process that went on for a long time, and I got to spend a lot of time with the guys who are directing the film. Getting to be around them and being around the world a little bit has been the main experience so far. I did my audition on the Millennium Falcon for one of my screen tests, which was pretty cool.
