Hey there, Miss Flo.
“Thunderbolts*” stunt performer Joe Dryden solely instructed The Publish that he had an embarrassing first interplay with the star of Marvel’s new blockbuster film.
Dryden recalled being decked out in a brunette wig, an outsized helmet and glasses to movie Bucky Barnes’ (Sebastian Stan) notorious bike scene when he met Pugh, 29.
“I just remember being in this thing and obviously my friends are laughing and we’re having good jokes and we are having a giggle about it,” he mentioned. “I knew what I looked like and I felt ridiculous. And then I was sitting on the bike and we were lining up for a shot and I was getting ready to go and I see this SUV pull in. It’s all blacked out and right away I’m like, ‘Oh, it’s the cast, I’m sure.’”
“The door opens and Florence walks out,” Dryden continued. “And I just remember sitting there thinking like, ‘Ugh, I can’t believe I’m wearing this helmet right now.’”
Dryden referred to as Pugh “brilliant” and mentioned that he “was such a fan” of her previous work, together with “Oppenheimer,” earlier than they met.
However he didn’t lose deal with the job simply due to his fandom.
“I see her right away. I’m like, ‘[Look] straight ahead, just do your job. It’s fine. No big deal,’” Dryden defined. “And I can see her out of my peripherals walking over. And I was like, ‘Oh, come on.’ And she’s so sweet.”
“She comes over and introduces herself. She’s like, ‘I’m Florence,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m Joe, nice to meet you.’ And she’s like, ‘I’ve seen some of the dailies and you’re doing some amazing stuff. It’s incredible, it looks so good,’” he recalled. “And I was just like, ‘I can’t believe I’m wearing this helmet and goggles right now.’”
Dryden famous the irony that Pugh, Stan, 42, and the remainder of the “Thunderbolts*” forged joked about his wig and helmet look after they appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” final month.
Kimmel, 57, pulled up the embarrassing image of Dryden and mentioned that he “went to the worst wig person.”
Each Pugh and Stan, 42, praised referred to as Dryden’s work and referred to as him “one of the best motorcyclists” within the nation.
Dryden, who posted a clip of the interview second on Instagram, instructed The Publish how he discovered in regards to the late-night interplay.
“Somebody sent it to me. I didn’t see it originally. Somebody sent to me and then I reposted it on my page,” he shared. “And that thing just, like, caught fire. I think it’s got almost 500,000 views on my page, which I only have, like, 7,000 followers. It was pretty funny.”
Dryden continued: “I knew what I looked like and I knew it was ridiculous. But I also know the ins and outs of it all. It’s easier for VFX to shrink down my head a little bit and the hair movement is natural and it’s just easier. And also I will always wear a helmet if I’m given the option, no matter how ridiculous I look. I’m totally fine with that.”
The stunt coordinator famous he’s not offended by Wyatt Russell jokingly saying on Kimmel’s present that his wig appeared like an animal.
“It really is hilarious because it’s exactly how I felt,” he mentioned. “I’m a good sport about it and I just think it is really funny. And sometimes it’s cool that the audience and fans get a little bit of a peek behind the scenes.”
“Thunderbolts*” is in theaters now.
