interview gleeson

OMG. This ^^ is Domhnall Gleeson. I thought it was Thom Yorke at first. Which is a good thing because this is the most attractive Domhnall has ever been. Domhnall is very much a rising star these days, having shown a rather spectacular range in films like About Time, Ex Machina, Unbroken, Anna Karenina and more. He covers Interview Magazine because he’s in an assortment of films this year, and he also previewed his role in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Angelina Jolie did his Q&A for Interview (she directed him in Unbroken) and they ended up chatting about Star Wars. As it turns out, La Jolie has a favorite character!

Angelina Jolie knows her Star Wars well. Like very well. So well that she even has a favorite character.

“I’m personally a Boba Fett fan,” the Oscar winner says. Jolie revealed her admiration for the sci-fi bounty hunter when she interviewed her Unbroken star Domhnall Gleeson (he’s in Episode VII) for the new issue of Interview magazine. When Gleeson remarked that Jolie could probably get a part in director J.J. Abrams’ reboot of the iconic franchise if she really wanted one, she asked, “Can Boba Fett have a missus? Well, put in a good word for me, then.”

For the record, Gleeson admitted, “I was more an Indiana Jones kid than a Star Wars kid.”

During the twosome’s chat, Gleeson turned the tables on Jolie and asked her a few questions.

“So were you an actor first then director?” Gleeson inquired.

“Yeah, well pretty much,” Jolie said. “My mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young. I only realized about five years ago that I actually didn’t want to be an actor.”

Jolie also insisted being a movie star was never important to her. “I’m a very private person,” she said. “I don’t go out much. I’m home with kids. I go to work. I don’t really like being the focus of attention, which is why I like being behind the camera more.”

Is she really a “private person”? I go back and forth on that. At this point, Angelina is only going to tell us what she wants us to know. She’s proven time and time again that she’s perfectly capable of flying under the radar for months at a time. But when she wants to be public, she’s all in. So no, I wouldn’t really say that she’s a “private person.” I’d say she’s secretive when she wants to be.

As for her love for Boba Fett…that’s hot. I would have thought that La Jolie would want to be a Sith.
