You Need to Hear Woody Harrelson's Killer Matthew McConaughey Impression
In an exclusive Esquire roundtable, the cast of Now You See Me: Now You Don't discuss their upcoming heist movie, near-death experiences on set, and convincing Jesse Eisenberg to smile. Woody Harrelson’s impression of Matthew McConaughey, especially when saying the word "margaritas," is a highlight you shouldn’t miss.
The original "Four Horsemen" of the series—Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, and Isla Fisher—reunite for the third installment after Fisher’s absence in the 2016 sequel. During the chat, Fisher shares her experience working with Baz Luhrmann on 2013’s The Great Gatsby.
"You're Myrtle."
Fisher explains she hadn’t fully connected with her character Myrtle until after her hairstyle was completed, despite Luhrmann’s assurance. She adds, "It tricks your brain into thinking you're actually immersed in someone new," referring to the transformative power of costumes and props.
The conversation then turns to Harrelson’s spot-on Jack Nicholson impression. He quotes Nicholson:
"Let the uniform do the acting."
This insight captures how costumes can shape performance effectively.
