Oh you're not scary: Kate Winslet daughter Mia Threapleton recalls her first meeting with Wes Anderson

Kate Winslet's daughter Mia shares her charming first encounter with Wes Anderson.

"Oh you're not scary, you're not a dragon, you're not gonna eat me! - Mia Threapleton"

Washington DC, May 30

Director Wes Anderson and the entire cast of 'The Phoenician Scheme' were present in New York for the premiere of the film.

The film's sprawling ensemble cast, including Benicio del Toro, Bryan Cranston, Michael Cera, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks and breakout lead Mia Threapleton, walked the carpet at Jazz at Lincoln Square, reported Variety.

The 24-year-old actor, Mia Threapleton, recalled her meeting with Anderson for the first time during the audition, in a conversation with Variety.

"He opened the door and said 'Hello!' and gave me a hug," she said as quoted by the outlet.

"He was wearing hotel slippers and pink socks, and I was like 'Oh you're not scary, you're not a dragon, you're not gonna eat me!'" added Wes Anderson as quoted by Variety.

Mia Threapleton is the daughter of actress Kate Winslet. She is starring opposite the veteran actors who have earlier worked with director Wes Anderson.

'Breaking Bad' actor Bryan Cranston also opened up about his experience with Wes Anderson on the red carpet during the premiere of the movie in New York.

While talking with Variety, he said, "What is consistent in Wes Anderson's storytelling is that you cannot predict where it's gonna go. He is so unique, he is such an auteur, that you just have to buy in, put the seatbelt on and go for the ride."

As per Variety, the movie stars del Toro as business magnate Zsa-zsa Korda, who happens to be one of the richest men in Europe.

Threapleton stars as his daughter, a nun named Sister Liesel, with Cera making his long-awaited Anderson movie debut as her tutor Bjorn Lund.

Mia Threapleton seems so down-to-earth despite being Kate Winslet's daughter! Love how she described Wes Anderson - "not a dragon" 😂. Indian directors could take notes on being more approachable like this. Our film industry needs more warmth between newcomers and big names.

Wes Anderson's quirky style is so unique! But I wonder if Indian audiences would fully appreciate his films - they're very different from our masala movies. Still, it's great to see new talent like Mia getting opportunities in Hollywood. Hope we see more Indian actors in such projects soon!

Hotel slippers and pink socks? Only Wes Anderson could pull that off! 😄 Mia's first impression story is adorable. Makes me think of how nervous I was meeting my first boss. Hollywood seems less intimidating when directors are this casual. Wonder if our Bollywood biggies would ever dress like this for meetings!

While I appreciate Anderson's unique style, sometimes his films feel too stylized and less about substance. Indian cinema balances style with emotional depth better. That said, it's impressive how he gives newcomers like Mia a chance alongside veterans. Our industry could be more welcoming to fresh talent too.

Bryan Cranston's comment about "putting the seatbelt on" for Wes Anderson's films is spot on! His movies are like theme park rides - unpredictable and visually stunning. Though I must say, Indian filmmakers like Satyajit Ray and Sanjay Leela Bhansali also create unique visual worlds in their own way. Different styles, equally brilliant!
