The Oppenheimer star, who plays Lewis Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission in the movie, recently praised his co-star Cillian Murphy.
Cillian Murphy plays the title character – J. Robert Oppenheimer – director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, where he developed the first atomic bomb, which was later dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, ending World War II.
Speaking to People, he said, “I’ve never witnessed a greater sacrifice by a leading actor in my career,” adding that he was impressed by his co-star’s “dedication” to the character.
“He knew it was going to be a huge question when (writer-director) Chris (Nolan) called him.
“But I think he also had the humility it takes to survive playing a role like this,” Robert added, before moving on to a specific example from the set.
“We’d say, ‘Hey, we’ve got a three-day weekend. Maybe we’ll go antique shopping in Santa Fe. What are you going to do?” “Oh, I have to learn 30,000 words of Dutch. Have fun.” But that’s the nature of the question,’ admitted Robert.
