Eternals star Barry Keoghan has revealed that the movie’s director, Chloé Zhao, told him to embody the role of Druig by acting more like Hayden Christensen in Star Wars. Despite the Star Wars prequels taking a lot of flak when they were first released, the movies have since become fan favorites. Christensen’s portrayal of Anakin Skywalker was, at the time, one of the aspects of the movie that drew the most ire – which made Zhao’s instruction to the MCU star somewhat surprising.
Keoghan revealed this information about his time on the set of Eternals in a recent interview with GQ (via YouTube), in which he also spoke about his other prominent roles. The full interview can be seen below:
