- He said he turned down a Pirates of the Caribbean role to avoid working with Depp, calling the star “so overblown, so overrated.”
- He mocked Margot Robbie’s casting in Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights and joked about an Australian accent, while noting he has not seen the film.
- He revisited his long-running dispute over method acting, calling Jeremy Strong’s approach frustrating and saying Strong has begged him to stop talking about it.
