Eve Hewson’s ‘crazy’ encounter with Barack Obama and her theory about ex-POTUS and Steven Spielberg<\/p>\n Eve Hewson’s ‘crazy’ encounter with Barack Obama and her theory about ex-POTUS and Steven Spielberg<\/p>\n
Eve Hewson is convinced Steven Spielberg and Barack Obama are in a “secret alien society” together.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old actress was shocked when the former US President turned up on the set of her new movie, epic sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day, to watch her and her co-stars – who include Colin Firth, Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor and Colman Domingo – shoot scenes.<\/p>\n
Obama’s appearance on the set of the movie – which tells the story of a race to expose a huge government conspiracy regarding extra-terrestrial life – got Eve thinking that the film’s director, Spielberg, who has also helmed E.T. and War of the Worlds, and Obama may have “bonded over a mutual interest”.<\/p>\n
Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she said: “I was very curious that he came to the set with the subject matter.<\/p>\n
“Then I was thinking about Steven, and all the things he seems to know.<\/p>\n
“Then I thought, ‘Maybe they are friends because they bond over a mutual interest.’ And then I saw a video where Obama was like, ‘Yeah, aliens are real.’<\/p>\n
“My theory is that they’re in this little, cute, secret alien society.”<\/p>\n
She joked: “They go camping together. They look at the stars.”<\/p>\n
Eve – who is the daughter of U2 frontman Bono – also told how she had to shoot a “crazy” scene, which featured lots of “screaming, and blood and sweat and tears”, in front of former US President.<\/p>\n
Speaking about Obama being on set, she said: “It was bonkers. We had to entertain him.<\/p>\n
“Josh [O’Connor] was like, ‘I’ve got to go home. I’m exhausted from being so charming.’ “<\/p>\n
Eve expected Obama to leave after he had spoken to the cast, but he stayed to watch her film a complex scene on the “biggest day” of her career.<\/p>\n
She explained: “Steven turned to me and was like, ‘You’re up, kid.’ I was like, ‘What? But he’s still here.’<\/p>\n
“He was like, ‘We have to go shoot the scene now. He’s here to watch you act.’<\/p>\n
“So, I had to do this scene, which is really complicated, but when you see the movie it’s like crazy that I did this in front of Obama.<\/p>\n
“There’s loads of screaming, and blood and sweat and tears, and afterwards he [Obama] was like, ‘Oh, Eve, where did you get that scream? Just stub your toe?’<\/p>\n
“I was like, ‘Yeah, man. That’s what happened.’ “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eve Hewson’s ‘crazy’ encounter with Barack Obama and her theory about ex-POTUS and Steven Spielberg Eve Hewson is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":724966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,1348,3355,134,3359,3353,44,3356,3354,3357,3358,427,1346],"class_list":["post-724965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-breaking-news","tag-daily-news","tag-entertainment","tag-global-news","tag-inkl","tag-news","tag-news-app","tag-news-headlines","tag-news-today","tag-today-news","tag-tv","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/724965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/724966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=724965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
