@adiprasetyoadi (Twitter): How did it feel acting as the US President in Olympus Has Fallen?
AE: Well, it was a lot of fun. I have a great respect for the office of the President of the United States and, as an actor, when you’re doing a role it forces you to think of how your character would think, so I had to weigh the issues and all that sort of stuff.
Not political issues, but what would I do in a time of crisis.
I didn’t concentrate so much on a particular President as I did on the characteristics, the ideal characteristics, of a President, what I thought they were. So honesty, trustworthiness, good father, good husband, working for the people and all that sort of stuff.
@Lucy_Lou5 (Twitter): Whats Gerard Butler like to act alongside? Is he competitive in the manly stakes?
AE: Let’s see [laughs]. Ooh, interesting question! Very perceptive.
Obviously Gerry is a manly man and very athletic and that sort of thing. I don’t think we were competitive, I thought we fed off each other’s energy and appreciated each other, we trusted each other.
But he likes to go all the way and so do I.
It's not even out yet, but the gloriously old-school JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is getting a live-action movie thanks to its "compelling narrative and complex characters"
Nosferatu director Robert Eggers is making a sequel to one of my favorite childhood movies Labyrinth – and I have the perfect nightmarish storyline in mind
