Florence Pugh explained why she accepted a role in Oppenheimer
Hollywood star Florence Pugh recently explained why she accepted a role in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie, Oppenheimer,
“It’s a Christopher Nolan movie, number one, and number two, he has one of the most incredible leads. Cillian Murphy is an actor that I have been watching for quite some time and have been desperate to work with for ages. You’d have to be mad to say no. It felt like I was playing sports with some of the best athletes, so it was truly one of the best experiences that I’ve had.”
Pugh plays the role of Jean Tatlock, who played a key role in J. Robert Oppenheimer’s life. Tatlock passed away at the age of 29.
Oppenheimer is based on a true story
Christopher Nolan’s latest movie, Oppenheimer, is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, also known as “the father of the atomic bomb” as he developed the world’s first nuclear weapons in the mid-1950s. J. Robert Oppenheimer had a very complex relationship with Jean Tatlock and her death left the physicist quite heartbroken.
Oppenheimer was diagnosed with throat cancer in late 1965. He was a chain smoker. In February 1967, he fell into a coma and died at his home in Princeton, New Jersey at the age of 62. Emily Blunt played the role of Oppenheimer’s on-screen wife, Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer will hit the theatres on 21st July 2023
The anticipation for Oppenheimer is at an all-time high. Christopher Nolan fought a long battle against Tom Cruise over the screening of his movies at the IMAX theatres. Nolan is known for creating remarkable movies. Without a doubt, he is one of the best directors of all time.
Watch Florence Pugh’s performance in the three-hour-long movie on 21st July, which is also the release date of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will also hit the theatres on 12th July 2023.
