Can I ask about casting Michael Caine?
Because when I think of hippie, I don’t think “Michael Caine.” A: Actually, when we were writing the script, [his character] was called the Michael Caine character. And I was excited to meet Sir Michael Caine. Then he started talking about the cool people he met in the past. And then he started talking about John Lennon, because he was his friend. John Lennon this, John Lennon that. I thought, “This guy’s just bragging about the cool friends he had.” [laughs] He said the reason I’m telling you these stories is because I want to play this characters as an older John Lennon. The nasal voice, the cadence of how he talks, was how [John] was. When [Caine] dressed for the character for the first time, he wife didn’t recognize him. He was so excited. Q: You said you wouldn’t mind doing another “Harry Potter”. How likely does that seem? A: I don’t know! It depends on many things. You think that depends on me? [laughs] I spent two of the most beautiful years of my life doing the “Harry Potter”
