Skyler Gisondo has actually confessed he lied to Paul Thomas Anderson about having the ability to play the piano for the 2021 motion picture Licorice Pizza.
When the well-known filmmaker contacted us to offer him the function of star Lance Brannigan in the coming-of-age motion picture, he asked if Gisondo might play the piano, and he lied “to the extreme” and ensured him that he ‘d “been playing my entire life”
After the call, Gisondo searched for Scott Joplin’s popular piano piece, The Entertainer, and was “terrified” at the possibility of discovering it. He had 10 weeks before the shoot and chose he might master it if he committed adequate time to it.
“I just thought like, ‘This will be my full-time job; I have nothing else to do. If I have to play eight hours a day, I’ll play.’ I played legitimately probably like five hours a day every day,” he shared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “The whole time, I kept waking up in cold sweats, like, ‘Today’s the day I call him and come clean and tell him I can’t.’ And then, like a week before, it was the first time I was like, ‘I think I’m going to be able to do this.'”
The Superman star’s commitment settled as his piano scene worked out on the day.
Throughout post-production a couple of months later on, the There Will Be Blood director notified him the scene had actually been cut.
“I was like, ‘OK, right on, man,'” he remembered. “I was too scared to tell him. I never told him. I told his wife (Maya Rudolph) and she was like, ‘You’ve got to tell him.’ I was like, ‘I’ll never tell.'”
Licorice Pizza starred Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman in their movie debuts.
Gisondo, 30, is presently promoting the mental thriller Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson, which remains in U.S. movie theaters now.
