Oscar Isaac<\/a> finally made it onto Hot Ones<\/em>, but the actor said the appearance happened for a deeply personal reason. During the April 3 episode of the First We Feast<\/em><\/a> series, Isaac revealed that his late cousin, Ed, had spent years urging him to take on the show\u2019s infamous lineup of hot sauces.<\/p>\n While discussing a T-shirt he wore during the interview, Isaac explained that it came from Hidden Temple Toys, the collectibles shop Ed owned with his wife in Selma, North Carolina. Isaac shared that his cousin died in a car accident last month and said the episode became a way to honor him.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was always like, \u2018Oscar, you got to do Hot Ones<\/em>. You got to do Hot Ones<\/em>, man,\u2019\u201d Isaac said. \u201cI was like, \u2018I don\u2019t know, man. I don\u2019t know if I can handle it.\u2019\u201d According to Isaac, his cousin kept pushing until he finally agreed. \u201cI was like, \u2018All right, I\u2019m taking it with me, Ed.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n The emotional moment arrived during an episode that otherwise focused on Isaac\u2019s upcoming projects and long Hollywood career. The Golden Globe winner appeared on the show ahead of the second season of Beef<\/em>, which premieres on Netflix on April 16.<\/p>\n Isaac also spoke at length about his role as Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo del Toro\u2019s upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Isaac described del Toro\u2019s Victor as a man driven by rage, grief, and unresolved family trauma. He said he approached the character almost like an addict, explaining that Victor\u2019s defiance and need for control shaped every scene.<\/p>\n Isaac also revisited some of that work during Hot Ones<\/em>, revealing that he spent the day of Victor Frankenstein\u2019s deathbed scene listening to sad music and looking through photos of people he had lost.<\/p>\n Even after filming, he said he remained unsure about the performance until del Toro unexpectedly asked him to do another take. That second attempt, Isaac said, ultimately made it into the movie.<\/p>\n The actor also used the interview to reflect on his broader career, including stories from Star Wars<\/em>, X-Men: Apocalypse<\/em>, and Inside Llewyn Davis<\/em>. He joked that TIE fighters were more comfortable than X-wings and recalled spending so much time in Apocalypse\u2019s costume that he had to sit in a cooling tent between takes<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a> Oscar Isaac Is GQ\u2019s Leading Man of the Year<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Teyana Taylor Tells Oscar Isaac She\u2019s in Culinary School to Become a Chef<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/a> Oscar Isaac Says He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ If There Was ‘Something Good to Do’ With His Character<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Clavicular’s Girlfriend Violet Lentz Turns Herself Over to Florida Police, Charged With Battery<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Antoine Fuqua Breaks Down the Years-Long Process of Making the \u2018Michael\u2019 Biopic<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
