Joel Edgerton

Joel Edgerton (Train Dreams, The Secret Life of Us, The Square) is an actor, writer, and director. Joel joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he knows when his Australian Vogue Editor-in-Chief wife doesn’t like his outfit, why his approach to relationships is ‘it takes two to tango,’ and the reasons why he gets starstruck over are athletes. Joel and Dax talk about the big dreaminess of Australian filmmakers, the deficits of old school masculinity, and why his brother is ‘that guy’ as a stunt performer in movies. Joel explains pitching ideas to George Miller while getting his steps in, the pleasure of working alongside someone better than him, and the incredible and brutal world he gets to portray in Train Dreams.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
