Tagged as“A strange and funny and ultimately moving film about the fear of death”by theNew York Times,White Noisewas met with a mixed reception from both audiences and critics. Critics who enjoyed the film praised the performances of Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, as well as the film’s dark humor and satire. However, some found the film to be too long and meandering, and they criticized the way it adapted Don DeLillo’s novel. However, even before the reviews by the audience, Greta Gerwig was highly strung about the movie.
In an interview with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Gerwig said that she was nervous about playing Babette Gladney, the wife of Jack Gladney (Adam Driver), in the film adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel.

Greta Gerwig revealed why she was nervous while filmingWhite Noise
Greta Gerwigis one of the most acclaimed actresses and filmmakers working today. However, during her interaction withJimmy Fallon, she admitted to feeling nervous while filming the $100 million budget movieWhite Noise. Revealing how the prospect of working with her husband Noah Baumbach excited her, she was a bit nervous about working with such a talented star cast, including theStar Warsfame actor Adam Driver.
“[Noah] was actually across the apartment. He sort of called to me and said, ‘Who should play Babette?’ And I said, ‘Obviously, me!’ But I hadn’t acted in a while, and it’s nerve-wracking. And it’s with Adam Driver and Don Cheadle, and really amazing actors.”
Gerwig’s hesitation was understandable since over the past few years before the release of the movie, the actress was busy directing movies likeLady BirdandLittle Women. With her last on-camera acting gig in 2016, where she starred in20th Century Women, prior toWhite Noise, it’s no surprise that Gerwig’s nerves took over her when she heard the prospects of starring with a big ensemble.
