Florence recalled meeting Christopher
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t really know what was going on or what it was that was being made. Except I knew that Chris really, really wanted me to know that it wasn\u2019t a very big role and he understands if I don\u2019t want to come near it. And I was like, \u2018Doesn\u2019t matter. Even if I\u2019m a coffee maker at a cafe in the back of the room, let\u2019s do it,'” Florence said in the interview.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember he apologised by the size of the role. I was like, \u2018Please don\u2019t apologise.’ And then he said, \u2018We\u2019ll send you the script, and honestly, you just read it and decide if it\u2019s like\u2026 I completely understand the sizing thing.’ And I remember that evening when I got the script being like, \u2018I don\u2019t need to\u2026 I know I\u2019m going to do it,'” Florence added.]<\/p>\n
More details about Florence’s role
\nFlorence’s character of Jean Tatlock was a love interest of J Robert Oppenheimer, the titular character of the nuclear physicist played by Cillian Murphy. Emily Blunt played Oppenheimer’s wife in the film.<\/p>\n
A scene between Jean and Oppenheimer has stirred a storm on the Indian internet for invoking a verse from the Hindu holy book Bhagavad Gita while the two are making love. Florence’s role also came under the spotlight in India when the makers inserted a CGI black dress on her during that scene, in order to get clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification. However, the CBFC has been pulled up by Information & Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur for the Bhagavad Gita reference.<\/p>\n
Oppenheimer, also starring Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck among others, has crossed ?150 crore at the Indian box office. It’s also the fourth highest grosser worldwide after The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Barbie, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
