AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie loves "Star Wars", especially Boba Fett. The actress-turned-director reveals her fandom for the George Lucas-created sci-fi franchise when interviewing her "Unbroken" actor Domhnall Gleeson for the latest issue of Interview magazine.
"I'm personally a Boba Fett fan," Jolie says, to which Gleeson responds, "Well, you make a phone call and I'm pretty sure, Angie, that they'll have you in, in a second." She replies, "Can Boba Fett have a missus? Well, put in a good word for me, then." Gleeson jokes, "Could you imagine? 'Hey, I'm calling to put in a good word for Angie.' "
Jokes aside, Gleeson says he had a panic attack when landing a role in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". He recalls, "I panicked. I met with J.J. [Abrams] and said, 'I'm not okay with signing up for something when I haven't read the script. I just feel weird about it.' And so they let me read the script, which is really important to me."
"But then I had to make a decision that night whether I was going to be at the table-read the next day, which meant signing the deal. So that night I did have kind of a panic attack. I really get on well with my agents. And I called them up and I was like, "What have I done? I like my privacy ... " he adds.
