Sometimes you get lucky and things come along in life at exactly the moment you need them to and that’s what happened to Paul Bettany with that call from famous director Joss Whedon.
Paul Bettany was defiant at the assertion that his career was over, but then was forced to consider the possibility.
I like how he responded to Joss Whedon too, with a very calm, matter-of-fact response, not letting on how exciting or what a relief the opportunity must have been.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to have someone tell you that but it’s got to be infuriating and a bit demoralizing.
