(C) Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection It's already getting great reviews ahead of its Sept. 26 release date, and as you'd expect, a major theme of the movie is the relationship between Bob and Willa, who is played by Chase Infiniti. Axelle / Getty Images, Jason Kempin / Getty Images According to director Paul Thomas Anderson, Chase is "the center of the film," which is pretty incredible when you learn that this is her first-ever movie role. So, at the Los Angeles premiere for the film on Monday, the 25-year-old newcomer experienced one of the downsides to movie stardom: fielding uncomfortable questions on the red carpet. Patrick T. Fallon / Getty Images Speaking to Variety, Chase was asked: "What's it like calling Leonardo DiCaprio 'Daddy?'" Visibly stumped by the question, she hesitated before answering bluntly: "Well, umm, did not think that it would be something I would do." Variety / Via x.com You can watch the clip here. Though Chase attempted to laugh it off, the interviewer, Marc Malkin, Variety's Senior Culture & Events Editor, has been criticized on X for asking a question with such "creepy" undertones - particularly to a young actor making their film debut. @Sertralineque3n / Via x.com @lefilmara / Via x.com @kenzvanunu / Via x.com @HEAa105710 / Via x.com @NationOfEagles / Via x.com Among all the discourse, people pointed out how "uncomfortable" Chase looked in the clip, with one user drawing attention to "the way she visibly deflates at the question." Variety / Via x.com Notably, in an interview with Vanity Fair published last month, Chase actually opened up about how nervous she was to face her first major press tour. "It's very scary, because I'm a very anxious person," she told the outlet. "What if I say the wrong thing?" Axelle / Getty Images Well, I think Chase handled it perfectly. But what do you make of this? LMK your thoughts in the comments. One Battle After Another hits theaters on Sept. 26.
