Josh O'Connor heard a quote once that said that Steven Spielberg was like "the director of every child's imagination".
The British actor may not have grown up in a moviegoing family, but he was still very aware of the Spielberg thing as a '90s kid. "It's just in our psyche," O'Connor said in a recent interview.
There were Blockbuster nights, of course, with viewings of E.T. and he's since caught up with the classics. But even he was taken aback by just how ingrained those quintessential Spielberg images were on his first day shooting Disclosure Day. They were on a backlot, he said, and there were dripping pipes and big beams of light and smoke and mist. It was an environment he recognised so vividly. All he could think was, "Wow, I'm in a Steven Spielberg movie."
