Christopher Nolan: filmmaker, auteur… cheese connoisseur? Oppenheimer actor – and renowned director in his own right – Benny Safdie has revealed that Nolan gave him an un-brie-lievable piece of advice on how to affect his character’s voice in the WW2 biopic.
According to a feature in Variety, Nolan wanted Safdie to eat cheese to "age up" the voice of physicist Edward Teller in the 1960s-set scenes which saw Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) receive a scientific award from President Lyndon B. Johnson.
