At the Paris Theatre screening, Greta Gerwig said that meals on Italian film sets do not consist of regular craft-services fare. “First of all, I ate so much pasta. I was so lucky, all the costumes were big and flowy,” she said. “And also, we had these three-hour lunch breaks. I’m not kidding, me, Jesse, Ellen [Page], and our driver, Spartacus, would go in the Italian countryside to eat pasta and drink wine, in the middle of a shoot day! And that was totally normal. It was the most amazing thing.”
Gerwig also said that in their downtime, Eisenberg had difficulty going incognito around Rome. “Our first couple days we didn’t have a lot to do, so we went to the Coliseum, and we stuck out because everybody recognized Jesse,” she said, laughing. “So that was its own level of, like, not only are you an American, but there’s this other level.”via (x)
