“I was like, ‘Oh, I’m fine.’”

Uma Thurman revealed her ultimate green flag in the directors she works with.

In case you didn’t know, Uma is one of the stars of the upcoming movie Oh, Canada, which will be released in theaters in December.

During the premiere of Oh, Canada at the New York Film Festival this weekend, Uma admitted during a Q&A session that she was a little anxious about working with the film’s director, Paul Schrader.

Describing Paul as a “macho filmmaker” who’s worked on some “legendary films,” Uma recalled feeling “very nervous to meet him” at first. However, she soon relaxed when she discovered they shared some common ground.

“As I was on my way to the meeting, a person driving me was Googling and she’s like, ‘Oh my God, he’s a huge Taylor Swift fan,’” Uma remembered. “I was like, ‘What?’ And then I read Paul’s quote or tweet about defending Taylor and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m fine.’”

Instantly feeling more comfortable going into their first meeting, Uma said she and Paul developed a great working relationship, describing him as a “softie” at heart.

In April this year, Paul showed his love for Taylor in a Facebook post, in which he suggested there’s scope for a movie about her rise to pop super-stardom.
