Although Disclosure day Featuring a star-studded cast — including Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo — an even bigger name has appeared on the set of Steven Spielberg’s latest film: Barack Obama.
Spielberg recently revealed the news when he was a guest on Michelle Obama’s radio show International Maritime Organization (which she hosts alongside her brother, Craig Robinson), he said Disclosure day It was the first group the former president had ever participated in. The two are long-time friends, as he explained, “We know each other well but on set the kids only knew Barack for what he did for the world and who he represented.” The famed director also noted that despite having a “very open-minded crew,” “you could hear a pin drop when he walked in,” as Spielberg had only told some of his actors about Obama’s visit.
Eve Hewson was not one of those actors Hollywood Reporter At the film’s New York premiere on Monday, he said: “I just showed up to work nervous to do my scene, and then there was the Secret Service and then [Obama] appeared.”
With a particularly challenging scene on that day’s schedule, she continued, “Imagine your scariest day at work and then Obama comes to watch you.” “It was crazy, but also probably the most extraordinary experience I’ve ever had in my life and one I’ll always cherish.”
Disclosure day It follows a meteorologist (Plunt) and a cybersecurity expert (O’Connor) who team up to expose the government’s cover-up of alien life to the whole world at once.
“If there was a researcher you would want to hire, it would be Steven Spielberg,” O’Connor said of the director’s knowledge of aliens. “On this subject, he’s unbelievable.” He of course has a lot of experience, having already directed three space films ET extraterrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and War of the Worlds.
Hewson, who plays O’Connor’s girlfriend who helps him on his mission, added: “The whole cast has fallen down the rabbit hole regarding aliens and non-human life, and we’ve all kind of become believers in the process.”
Disclosure day It hits theaters on Friday.
