Wyatt Russell’s 5 most popular quotes
- My parents are actors and never brought work home. I didn’t even know what they did until I was about 10 years old. We never talked about it.
- I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.
- In hockey, it was a freak show. I’m the son of actors and from California, and in Canada, hockey is a religion, so me coming in, it was like, ‘Who the hell is this guy?’ I just had to put my head down and work really hard, and it was difficult, but it made me who I am and gave me a backbone.
- I had been pulling my groins in college a lot and missed my whole freshman year of college because of groin pulls. It was chronic, and I couldn’t figure it out. I went to the doctor, and he told me I had hip dysplasia. So I knew my hockey days were sorta limited at that point.
- Recently, my dad has been teaching me a lot – like how to read a script. It used to just be about hockey or baseball or sports of whatever. We don’t have glitzy or glamour-y Hollywood-type talk, like, ‘Isn’t that person great?’ It’s more about the process of how it works.
