Spooked by Snipers: Eve Hewson's Surreal Spielberg Set

Eve Hewson recounted a particularly nerve-wracking filming day for "Disclosure Day," where her scene with Colin Firth was unexpectedly attended by President Barack Obama and numerous castmates. This intimidating environment was compounded by Hewson's own anxieties about performing opposite the acclaimed actor.

Hewson, whose father is Bono, has navigated the entertainment industry since childhood. After studying acting, she initially found it challenging to secure roles that suited her unique persona in Hollywood. Her early work with Steven Spielberg on "Bridge of Spies" provided invaluable mentorship.

Spielberg continued to follow Hewson's career, leading to her casting in his latest UFO film. She received a surprise call and was offered the significant role of Jane after he expressed pride in her progress. The script was hand-delivered, and Hewson was delighted to find her character central to the narrative.

During filming, Spielberg's directorial approach proved highly supportive, with him offering emotional guidance and experiencing scenes alongside her. Despite the film's success and accompanying press tours, Hewson chose to return to Dublin to film another project with Channing Tatum, enjoying time with her parents.
