‘I don’t have a computer’: Kiefer Sutherland does nothing like his character in the rabbit hole!

In Rabbit Hole, his new series that premiered March 26 on Paramount+, Kiefer Sutherland finds his first love. And even if he finds his favorite genre, he’ll play a different type of spy than Jack Bauer in Apartment 24.

Created by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, Rabbit Hole is inspired by conspiracy and paranoid thrillers of the past, such as Sydney Pollack’s Three Days of the Condor or Alan J. The reason for Pakula’s murder.

We follow that John Weir is a spy at the head of his own company that specializes in financial espionage. He perfectly masters the art of manipulation with extremely sophisticated setups, which often lead to the destruction of lives. In their latest mission, the mysterious cabal rises up and turns the tables.

The prey becomes the prey, caught in its own trap to the point where it is no longer sure to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Except the trap is terrifying and John Weir is accused of murder and finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse in which he must do whatever it takes to gain freedom.

As you may have guessed, Rabbit Hole is the kind of series that excels at pulling the rug out from under the viewer’s feet just when they think they’re getting a hold of the plot. The first season finale of Rabbit Hole, which aired on May 7, is no exception to the rule. This is an opportunity to revisit the interview that Kiefer Sutherland gave to AlloCiné.

It particularly harkens back to the choice of title ‘Rabbit Hole’, which can be translated as ‘Rabbit Hole’ in a literal sense, but also refers to a ‘hellish spiral’ figuratively. to the question “Why this title?– the actor answers:Because all is not as it seems. We live in a world where the truth is increasingly difficult to discover and recognize.“

Much more surprising and fun, Kiefer Sutherland reveals his unstoppable method to avoid becoming a victim of cyber-espionage or hacking. “The series did not affect my behavior“He tells us,”Because I don’t have e-mail, I don’t have a computer. So I write my letters by hand and use my phone as a phone.“

The actor is so far from technology that, for example, he does not even read his scripts on a tablet screen. “I think I’m one of the last actors who still takes a script on paper because I like to take my notes that way. It’s just that I’ve always worked and done it.”
