At this point, the A+ casting for a Now You See Me movie is an old trick. I mean, in the first movie, both Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine showed up alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Woody Harrelson and Mark Ruffalo. However, those old tricks still work wonders, as Now You See Me: Now You Don’t’s cast proves, as it mixes the aforementioned icons with rising stars. So, I asked some of these rising stars what it was like to meet an actor like Morgan Freeman, and they reacted the same way I would have.

In Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith and Dominic Sessa joined the cast as the newest magicians. All three of them are young actors with impressive careers; however, I still wondered what it was like for them to meet Morgan Freeman and see him play a character like Thaddeus Bradley. When I told the three actors that I applauded when the Oscar winner appeared on screen for the first time, Greenblatt said their reaction to meeting him in real life was similar.

00:00When Morgan Freeman walked in, I wanted to, like, get up and applaud.
00:02I was wondering how you guys acted the first time you met him.
00:05I think just like that.
00:07I feel like everyone was so excited.
00:09It was the most behaved the set has been.
00:12Yeah.
00:13Since the beginning, obviously to the end.
00:15I feel like whenever he was in our presence, we were obviously on our best behavior.
00:20Everyone was very prepared and excited,
00:22and I think we kind of were just wanting to respect his space and time.
00:25And we also were definitely, like, asking him so many questions.
00:29As he would.
00:30I think I cried, like, three times?
00:32No, honestly.
00:33No, that was Ruben.
00:34Ruben actually cried.
00:35Ruben was a cry.
00:36Yeah.
00:37Especially the last day of him on set, everyone got together and took a picture,
00:40and Ruben was quite emotional.
00:42Oh, man.
00:42Yeah.
