Oppenheimer: Christopher Nolan's daughter plays a girl who loses part of her face in nuclear explosion
Christopher Nolan has cast his daughter in his latest film
Christopher Nolan’s daughter plays an important role in her father’s film, Oppenheimer. His eldest daughter almost immediately agreed to do a part in the film that stars Cillian Murphy in the leading role. It so happened that his eldest daughter, Flora, visited the Oppenheimer set with his wife and producer Emma Thomas when the team was still looking for a young woman to play a girl who has her face damaged because of a nuclear explosion.
The director then had the idea to cast Flora in a then-open role. Christopher Nolan confirmed, “We needed someone to do that small part of a somewhat experimental and spontaneous sequence. So it was wonderful to just have her sort of roll with it.” The casting was impromptu and there wasn’t much thought behind it.
Nolan revealed, “Truthfully, I try not to analyse my own intentions,” and added, “But the point is that if you create the ultimate destructive power it will also destroy those who are near and dear to you. I suppose this was my way of expressing that in what, to me, were the strongest possible terms.”
