Even if I’m a coffee maker at a cafe in the back of the room, let’s do it. I remember he apologized about the size of the role, and I was like, ‘Please don’t apologize.” Pugh continued, “And then he said, ‘We’ll send you the script, and honestly, you just read it and you decide if it’s, I completely understand the sizing thing.’ And I remember that evening, when I got the script, being like, ‘I know I’m going to do it.’” About the film Nolan’s _Oppenheimer_, which recently released at the box office, has turned out to be a global winner.
