Speaking about the parallel careers he enjoys in high-budget franchise movies as well as small-budget indie films, Wright told "Closer Weekly" that he is more interested in the story rather than financial returns.
"No, if I read a script that’s compelling, I’m not concerned about what the budget is… "
RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILY
During the same interview, Wright also opened up about his two beautiful children with his ex-wife, actress Carmen Ejogo.
The actor revealed that he and Ejogo share custody for their children and they continue to support each other in issues related to parenting.
Wright puts his children's needs and requirements above anything else, which is why he has never had any issue with co-parenting.
Moreover, the actor is also not making any plans about getting married again. He revealed that he will leave that choice to fate.
EARLY LESSONS
Previously, during an interview, Wright also detailed some crucial life lessons that have stayed with him since his high school days at Amherst.
As an athlete, who played football and lacrosse, Wright learned the important skills related to teamwork and collaboration, which remain equally crucial in his line of work today.
Wright has so far appeared in four movies from the "James Bond" franchise, alongside the lead actor, Daniel Craig. These movies have propelled his stardom to another level.
Meanwhile in the series "Westworld," he impressively plays two roles: one of the human, Arnold, and the other of his synthetic doppelganger, Bernard.
