Pretty good interview, too.
"It was an inadvertent, almost accidental thing," Watson says with a laugh. "I've never been interested in acting, and I've never been an actor. But I became friends with Ethan and Joel Coen a number of years ago. When I'm in New York they come out to my shows."
The Coens initially asked Watson to audition for their 2016 film "Hail, Caesar!" Although Watson didn't get that role, the sibling filmmakers told him they did want to cast him in their next film. In "Buster Scruggs," he plays a cowboy.
"They dressed me up in some cool cowboy duds," Watson says. "I learned how to twirl a six-shooter, and I got good at riding a horse." |
