But I had to learn to use ’em with my eyes closed, backwards and underwater. “I have three boys” - Henry, 19, Teddy, 16, and Eli, 13 - “who watched me work with the pistols on a daily basis, and whenever they could get their hands on them, they molested them. “I worked on them both two hours a day for five-and-a-half months,” he says. For a while, he talks about some of the challenges he faced while preparing to become Buster Scruggs, especially when it came to the pistols and guitar playing. Today, still in the black sedan, still on Sunset, Nelson is wearing what he calls his “daily uniform”: a natty Paul Smith corduroy blazer, some Levi’s 511 slim-fits and a pair of Lucchese roper boots, the ones with the round toe and a walking heel, which used to be favored mainly by experimental-jet pilots (“I don’t wear anything but,” he says, intelligently). How he accomplished this feat has long been a mystery, even to Ethan Coen, who once said, “He’s a Jewish guy from Oklahoma, so go figure.” Nelson’s own explanation is a bit more evocative: His Delmar is “innocent of knowledge the world without context.” Which makes sense. No matter: He stole everyone’s thunder by, among other things, making a convincing show of believing that some backwoods sirens had turned one of his chain-gang brethren into a toad. In it, he plays addlepated escaped-convict Delmar O’Donnell and is billed third behind George Clooney and John Turturro. John Turturro on 'Plot Against America' and Resurrecting Jesus Quintanaīut then, in addition to Buster Scruggs, there is the one other big standout - 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which was also written and directed by the Coen brothers. Then he’s saying things like, “That one front tooth is a crown and I’ve had the opportunity now to have it fixed, but I’ve just, you know, thought, ‘Well, why? It’s fine.’” A few minutes later, as a kind of corollary, he adds, “I’ve always known I’d never adorn the covers of magazines. The destination is Netflix’s headquarters, where he’ll plump for the new Coen brothers’ movie, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, in which he plays the happy-faced, cowboy-song-singing, white-hatted, guitar-strumming, pistol-twirling, ornery-cuss-killing title character. He’s lank bordering on gaunt, well abbreviated in height, and the altogether effect is of the kind of guy you see on inner-city street corners, scratching his head while waiting to be mugged.Īnd yet it’s just these turnip-truck-rube qualities that have allowed Nelson to be where he is today, sitting snug inside a black, chauffeur-driven sedan in Hollywood, easing along Sunset Boulevard toward yet another opportunity. Ebbing hairline, a wide-open-plains-type forehead, blues that seem almost beady, a top right central incisor that stands disturbingly aloof of its neighbor, and an oddball horseshoe mustache. Frankly, he doesn’t look all that impressive.

Somebody cast these guys in another horse movie, stat! Same with the white horse Rusty in Robin Hood we chatted again on Les Mis. Years later he was on the set of Robin Hood and we would have a chat everyday. There’s a horse George who I gave the speech in the forest in Gladiator on.

There’s a horse, George, who I gave the speech in the forest in Gladiator on. Russell Crowe, who co-starred with Neeson in Paul Haggis’ 2010 thriller “The Next Three Days” was quick to back up his buddy, tweeting: “This is absolutely true. Gave him apples … He whinnied when he saw me. When we worked together before I took special care of him. He actually remembered me from another Western we made awhile back. When asked to follow-up, he added: “You won’t believe it. “The odd thing is the horse who pulls my wagon knew me,” Neeson said.
