‘The Odyssey’ Director Christopher Nolan Reveals “Absurd” Reason He Banned Uggs on Set<\/p>\n

\n

Christopher Nolan<\/strong> is counting sheep on his movie sets—that is, fuzzy sheepskin boots. <\/p>\n

The Interstellar<\/em> director confessed one of his unorthodox tenets of filmmaking: He doesn’t allow his actors to wear Ugg boots in between takes of his award-winning films, for a very specific reason. <\/p>\n

“I want to stay in the moment. I want the actors to stay in the moment,” Nolan told Gayle King<\/strong> during a July 20 appearance on CBS Mornings<\/em>. “For me, the Ugg boots are a signifier of modernity, absurd though that is.”<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old likened the fluff-free protocol—which applied to stars like Anne Hathaway<\/strong> while working on his most recent period piece, The Odyssey<\/em>—to snacking on junk food between cuts.<\/p>\n

“It’s like if someone’s eating a bag of chips off camera,” Nolan explained. “There’s certain things that just remind you’re in the real world, as opposed to the world we’re trying to create for the actors.” <\/p>\n

Though he doesn’t consider Uggs helpful to the creative process, he made it clear he doesn’t have a personal problem with the Aussie favorites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
