Jessica Chastain on talking too much, making 'George & Tammy' at the right time, and how 'Zero Dark Thirty' was a game-changer.
“We can talk until 3 a.m.,” Jessica Chastain says, smiling. It’s a warm, mid-July evening and, looking at the clock, it’s either 30 minutes or 3 hours and change before the actors union goes on strike. Is it Eastern Time or Pacific Time? We’re not sure. But we do know that tomorrow morning, per SAG-AFTRA guidelines, Chastain won’t be able to talk to me about her work, so we’re extending our conversation via Zoom at this late hour. Her kids are in bed. All’s quiet in her New York-adjacent home.
“I do recall someone showing me a Backstage article where a casting director was talking about their early days starting out, saying, ‘I remember Jessica Chastain coming in and she had like five auditions that day and she was all sweaty and her hair was kind of all over the place and she did a really good job.’” Chastain laughs. “I mean, I didn’t book it.
“I barely got through it now,” Chastain says. “Back then, I was so green. I wouldn’t have even known where to begin. And I wouldn’t have had the experience of fame or an idea of motherhood. I just wouldn’t have understood her the way that I think I do now.” When I mention that she has a beatific expression on her face as she finished her speech, Chastain says, “It’s interesting that you say that because this is the first time I’ve ever articulated or thought about it. It was like ...” She pauses, collecting her thoughts. “This sounds crazy, but you know how they talk about when you leave your body and you’re just kind of observing? That’s what it felt like. I was able to swim in the current.
