Episode Details

Actor Joel Edgerton spills a hilarious childhood confession: he plastered his bedroom walls with posters of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean—icons he’d never actually seen in action. While promoting his new show Dark Matter with Jennifer Connelly, he admitted he was embarrassed by the gap between hype and experience, comparing it to knowing the music before you’ve heard it. He did have posters for films he’d actually watched like The Lost Boys and The Goonies, but the Dean and Monroe posters? Pure fandom. Connelly joked she never had posters as a kid, and Edgerton cheekily suggested she needs an Evel Knievel one. It’s a charming, relatable glimpse into how cultural icons shape our early lives—even when we don’t yet know their stories.
