Star Wars Cameo & Being a Fangirl on Set
At 37:36 · chapter starts 35:30
Will drops the news that Amy has just wrapped a cameo in the new Star Wars film with Ryan Gosling. Sean excitedly reveals he and Jason visited the set at Shawn Levy's invitation for a day. Amy jokes that she had a small part, and her first day was professionally humbling: she was so overwhelmed by being on a Star Wars set — a franchise she grew up on — that she forgot how to act. Combining lifelong fangirl with professional actress in real time was harder than any role she'd prepared for. She says the sets were real enough to 'get the feels,' and that Shawn Levy was infectiously enthusiastic and kind. She also connects Levy back to Arrival, noting he was a producer on that film and that she'd worked with him previously on Night at the Museum.
Amy Adams grew up on Star Wars and landed a cameo in the new Ryan Gosling film. On her first day, the lifelong fangirl completely froze — she forgot how to act. Becoming a professional while simultaneously being a kid who grew up loving the franchise was harder than any role she's prepared for.
