On a recent episode of the popular late-night talk show, David Letterman welcomed talented young actor Josh Hartnett to the stage. Hartnett, who stars in the new film “The Faculty,” engaged in an entertaining and lively conversation with the charismatic host.
The conversation began with Hartnett discussing his roots in Minnesota, the most northern state besides Alaska. Letterman probed further, commenting on the infamous wrestler-turned-governor from Minnesota, sparking a humorous discussion about the unconventional nature of their state’s political landscape.
As the conversation continued, Letterman discovered that Hartnett is just 20 years old, despite having already achieved success in the entertainment industry. Hartnett revealed that he started acting professionally only two years ago and shared his early experiences making short films in high school. One of these films was a creative endeavor centered around a day in the life of a friend who managed a Dairy Queen.
Hartnett excitedly described the process of creating this film, noting the thrilling atmosphere of the Dairy Queen serving as a backdrop. He emphasized that the film adopted a documentary-style approach, aiming for a film noir aesthetic. However, things took an unexpected turn when Hartnett revealed that their portrayal of a robbery scene at the Dairy Queen attracted unwanted attention.
Unbeknownst to Hartnett and his friends, a woman across the street mistook their simulated hold-up for a real-life crime and promptly alerted the authorities. Unfazed by the incident, Hartnett and his crew decided to reshoot the scene, eventually succeeding in capturing the desired footage.
The amusing anecdote took a more serious turn when squad cars arrived at the scene, guns drawn, not realizing that it was all just a high school movie. Letterman jokingly referred to the group as “brazen punks” and commented on their luck for evading a potentially dangerous situation.
The conversation then shifted to a different topic – the Minnesota Vikings football team. Both Letterman and Hartnett expressed their awe and admiration for the team’s exceptional performances on the field. They marveled at the team’s unmatched talent and high-scoring games, with Letterman even suggesting a potential Super Bowl appearance for the Vikings.
Before wrapping up the interview, Hartnett briefly discussed his upcoming film, “The Faculty,” which was set to open on Christmas Day. Letterman wished him well, and Hartnett revealed that he would be heading back to Minnesota for the holidays, promising to investigate the phenomenon of wrestlers in politics.
With this intriguing and lively conversation, Hartnett’s appearance on David Letterman‘s talk show provided a delightful and entertaining segment for viewers.
