Oscar Isaac brings charm and insight in this candid interview where he dives into his experience starring in the forthcoming Frankenstein directed by Guillermo del Toro — and shares a hilarious moment singing his six-year-old’s original song. The conversation offers more than promotional fluff: Isaac reflects genuinely on working with Jacob Elordi, describing the transformation process, the cruelty of the creature’s role, and how Elordi embodied it with both strength and vulnerability.
We get glimpses of the intense preparation behind the scenes — the long makeup sessions, the emotional toll, and the creative camaraderie. Isaac reveals how del Toro used an “untranslatable” Spanish joke to set the tone for a pivotal scene, showing how even playful direction can carry deep meaning.
Beyond the film talk, the segment takes a joyful detour into Isaac’s personal life: his six-year-old’s song, performed live. It’s a sweet, grounding moment that juxtaposes the dark world of Frankenstein with the vulnerable world of fatherhood and creativity.
For fans of both actors and anyone interested in what happens behind the cameras of a major film, this is a must-watch. It’s real, charming, and gives a solid movie insight into the mix of craft, ego, art and family.
