Joseph Gordon-Levitt Interview: Flora and Son and Hosting SNL
0From writer-director, John Carney, Flora and Son is his latest modern musical to explore how music creates human connection when the world starts to feel a little too heavy. Flora and Son stars Eve Hewson and Orén Kinlan in the titular roles and enlists the talents of Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Flora’s L.A.-based guitar teacher, Jeff.
Talking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Levitt shares why, although he rarely gets nervous on set, working on Flora and Son proved to be one of the most nerve-wracking roles of his career, including working alongside Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln. In the film, Jeff helps Flora understand the impact music can have when he plays her renditions of “I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes)” and Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.” According to Levitt, making music in a film has been on his bucket list, and for Carney’s Flora and Son, they took a rather “unconventional” approach.
Find out why Levitt wrote Carney a letter for his role in the movie, what makes Apple TV the perfect home for a dramedy like this one, if he’ll return to host for Saturday Night Live, and what he knows about Rian Johnson’s Knives Out 3.
