"[Interstellar] remains my favorite movie I've ever been in. That's at the top of my list, that's the one I go back to and watch," Chalamet told Zane Lowe of the film in a Nov. 11 interview. "But I thought it was going to do something for my career in a way that it didn't; I just thought my part was bigger. Basically, there's a scene where McConaughey — some of the best acting of the decade — where he's weeping in the ship. I'm the other half of that scene, so I thought it would cut sort of back and forth, but it's [just] on him, so I was watching like, 'Ah, s---.' "
