There was a time when Alden Ehrenreich looked like he was going to be one of Hollywood’s brightest new stars. He made movies with Francis Ford Coppola and then the Coen Brothers, before moving on to a major franchise project. Unfortunately, the one-two punch of the poor reception of Solo: A Star Wars Story and then COVID production delays took the actor off the screen for some time. Now Ehrenreich appears to be getting back to the place he once held, and one person who is here for it is fellow Oppenheimer cast member Robert Downey Jr.
Vanity Fair recently ran a major interview with Alden Ehrenreich titled “Alden Ehrenreich Is Back in the Spotlight—For Now”. Robert Downey Jr. posted an image of the cover story to his Instagram, with a note that makes it clear Downey believes the young actor absolutely belongs in the spotlight, and will hopefully never leave again.
