Broderick and Beatty Made a Film Together Ten Years Ago
Ten years ago, Matthew Broderick and Warren Beatty were making a film called Rules Don't Apply. The younger actor had a meeting with the older, legendary one at Beatty's Los Angeles home. On the podcast Nepo, Baby!, Broderick recalled how that encounter went.
He said, "I went to LA to meet him. I remember I was early driving up the hill to Mulholland ... I had to pull over and wait at a curb for a while, just sweating." The two met and talked. Beatty suggested that Broderick might as well just stay overnight. The following morning, Beatty said that Broderick could hang out at his residence even longer.
Matthew Broderick told Warren Beatty this. "I said, 'I have to get home. I gotta, I have to go to the gym.'" But Beatty replied,"We have a gym!" Broderick mentioned, "The reason I say it might be the longest meeting ever is I did the movie and stayed there. He had a little guest house. That meeting in a way went on for like three months because I never left — I never really left Mulholland."
