During their conversation, John Krasinksi expressed a sense of pride for Will Poulter‘s success, despite only having briefly met him in the past. He credited Poulter’s early acting days, including his notable performance in “Son of Rambo,” as the reason for feeling this admiration. He then turned their attention to “The Revenant,” a film that received an impressive 12 Oscar nominations.
Poulter revealed that the film was shot in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, known for its frigid temperatures. Despite the challenging conditions, the cast and crew felt like they were part of something special, tackling a project that required them to film using natural light, real weather elements, and minimal CGI. Poulter jokingly mentioned the bear from the movie, clarifying that it was not a real bear but a realistic CGI creation.
Ross asked Poulter about his experience working with renowned actors Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio. Poulter admitted feeling intimidated initially, given his admiration for both actors. However, he commended their professionalism and warmth on set. Poulter also shared a humorous anecdote about being seated at a table during the Golden Globes, where he felt out of place among other celebrities. He even managed to find an excuse to avoid being in a picture with the cast and crew of “The Revenant.”
The conversation took a lighthearted turn when Poulter mentioned that his distinctive look, particularly his eyebrows, sometimes led to interesting encounters with fans. He recounted a memorable occasion when someone mistook him for Sid from the movie “Toy Story.” Poulter laughed off the misunderstanding and appreciated the fan’s enthusiasm.
