For months, Paul Giamatti has repeatedly refused to explain how he managed to give his character Paul Hunham in The Holdovers an incredibly realistic-looking lazy eye. The Oscar-nominated actor chalked it up to “movie magic” and said he was sworn to secrecy.
But when Giamatti appeared on his old friend—and Private Parts co-star—Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show on Wednesday, he finally let the cat out the bag.
The conversation began by Stern telling the actor that as he watched the film, he thought to himself, “Wow, Paul has a really fucked-up eye, I hope he’s OK,” joking that he was so “narcissitic” he must have never noticed it before.
