Bill Pullman is allowing Lewis Pullman to be a maverick.
As the Top Gun: Maverick actor’s fame continues to rise, he shared the “gems” his experienced actor father has provided to help him navigate this new phase of life.
“He’s very much in my corner and gives a lot of career advice,” Lewis told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the premiere of his new movie Remarkably Bright Creatures in Los Angeles on April 30, “but he’s not a father that’s like, ‘Do it this way, do it that way.’”
Indeed, the 33-year-old highlighted that the While You Were Sleeping star isn’t by any means providing a blueprint for him.
“He definitely allows me to carve my own path,” Lewis continued, “and make my own mistakes and learn from them—and I think that’s helped me a lot in so many ways.”
Sometimes, however, the Lessons in Chemistry alum’s journey intersects with the one his father took before him. After all, he stars in Remarkably Bright Creatures alongside Sally Field, who his dad previously collaborated with in the 2019 National Theatre Live production of All My Sons.
