In Oppenheimer, we know Robert Downey Jr. gives a performance totally different from anything we’ve ever seen from him. It’s masterful, and the decision to cast him as Lewis Strauss in the Oppenheimer cast was inspired, albeit a bit shocking considering the actor’s filmography. So, with all that in mind, it was fascinating to hear the humorously honest advice Emily Blunt gave RDJ about working with the man who cast him and the film's director Christopher Nolan.
It sounds like Christopher Nolan runs a tight ship on set, and Blunt wanted Downey to be aware of that. However, they also both sang their praises for the director and his process, which clearly works considering Oppenheimer’s reviews have hailed it a “cinematic triumph."
