In a candid interview with The Times of London shared on Saturday, May 17, Anderson, 56, shared with the outlet that Hackman, 95, was particularly "grumpy" about the salary arrangements for the film. "Gene was very annoyed about the money," the director recalled, adding that the Runaway Jury actor wasn’t keen on the project to begin with. "He was furious. Also, he didn’t want to do the film anyway. I talked him into it — I just didn’t go away.”
Anderson also touched on his final conversation with Hackman, which took place at the movie’s premiere. Hackman admitted that he hadn’t fully understood the film while they were shooting, but later expressed how much he enjoyed being a part of it. Anderson noted, "I wish I’d shown him 10 minutes, early on. Then, maybe, he would have said, ‘OK, I get it.’"
Final autopsy results revealed at the end of April that Hackman hadn’t eaten in a few days prior to his death. His toxicology test results were "consistent with a prolonged level of fasting."
