For looks, Spielberg also wore a sharp suit and bow tie, epitomizing sophistication and grace as they paused on the illustrious red carpet, capturing numerous endearment moments through the eager photographer’s lens.
Though the 77-year-old patriarch did not plan on having children, he has come to terms with the role and enjoys it. Spielberg, in an interview with Variety, revealed that his perspective shifted during the production of his iconic film, E.T. “I didn’t want to have kids because it was not a kind of equation that made sense for me as I went from movie to movie to movie, script to script,” Spielberg confessed. “It never occurred to me till halfway through E.T.: I was a parent on that film. I was literally feeling like I was very protective of Henry [Thomas] and Mike [McNaughton] and my whole cast, and especially Drew [Barrymore], who was only 6 years old.”
“And I started thinking, ‘Well, maybe this could be my real life someday.’ It was the first time that it occurred to me that maybe I could be a dad. And maybe in a way, a director is a dad, or a mom … I really felt that that would be my big production,” he added. “I have seven kids and six grandchildren, so E.T. worked for me very well.”
