10 Things You Didn't Know About Alden Ehrenreich
1. Nearly Every Film He Has Acted In Has Been With A Legendary Director
Even though he's only been acting in films for the past seven years, Alden Ehrenreich has managed to work with some of the most prestigious and well-respected directors in the entire industry. As mentioned previously, his film debut was under the guidance of Francis Ford Coppola in Tetro, but things didn't get any less exciting from there.
His next film in 2011 was once again with Coppola, followed by Stoker in 2013 which is directed by Chan-wook Park. Park is a revered South Korean film-maker, most widely known in the west for The Vengeance Trilogy (which contains the amazing, mind-bending Oldboy).
After that came a role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine in 2013, in which he played Danny Francis, stepson to Cate Blanchett's Jeanette Francis. And of course, in 2016 there was his collaboration with the Coen brothers in Hail, Caesar!
That's not to mention the fact he's also completed a project directed by Warren Beatty. In fact, the only feature lengths in Ehrenreich's filmography that haven't been helmed by legendary directors are Beautiful Creatures and Running Wild – and that's not a bad ratio by any measurement.
