Austin Abrams gets candid about his experience collaborating with Hollywood legends George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the latest Apple TV+ hit, Wolfs. While Abrams brings a touch of humor to his role in the movie, his initial disbelief at the prospect of working alongside two icons of the industry adds an interesting twist to his journey.
In a heart-to-heart with Entertainment Weekly, Abrams confessed that the idea of sharing screen space with Pitt and Clooney seemed like a distant dream at the start of his career. Reflecting on his disbelief, he shared, “I never imagined I’d have the chance to work with these two powerhouse actors so early on.”
During his chat with the media outlet, the rising star recalled the warm reception he received from the dynamic duo of Pitt and Clooney. He mused, “It was surreal to think that I could even be in the same room with them, let alone act alongside them.”
Describing his character in the action-comedy, Abrams portrays a young man mistakenly believed to be dead after a drug overdose. As Clooney and Pitt attempt to dispose of the body, the kid suddenly springs back to life, leading to a series of hilarious and unexpected events.
Expanding on his character’s traits, Abrams shared, “He’s a naive soul who follows his heart without overthinking things, often landing himself in sticky situations while trying to lend a helping hand.”
As the conversation delved deeper, Abrams revealed the evolution of his character’s relationship with the seasoned actors. Initially intimidated by Clooney and Pitt, his character gradually warms up to them, sensing a camaraderie that transcends their initial differences.
While Clooney and Pitt share a long-standing friendship both on and offscreen, stemming from their collaboration on the Ocean’s trilogy, Abrams found himself effortlessly fitting into their dynamic on set. With a hint of sarcasm and a dash of energy, he seamlessly integrated himself into the seasoned duo’s world.
Reflecting on the experience, Abrams expressed gratitude for the warmth and camaraderie extended to him by his esteemed co-stars. With Wolfs now available for streaming on Apple TV+ and select theaters, audiences can witness the magic that unfolds when a rising star collides with Hollywood royalty.
