“I don’t think so, but I got a lot of love for Jennifer [Aniston]And Jason [Sudeikis]Rawson [Marshall Thurber], our director. I would love to work with any of them again. We’re Still the Millers is probably not gonna happen,” the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3Actor, 29; exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“I [was] constantly laughing,” he adds. “Watching Jennifer at work, someone I watched, I was a huge Friends fan growing up, so getting to watch her do her thing in person was a huge privilege and Jason’s such a brilliant improviser. It was amazing to be able to witness them doing their thing up close. I was definitely taking notes.”

Aniston (53), was particularly a mentor for Poulter. “Jennifer really kind of came to my aid on a number of occasions with Millers,” he recalls. “So I’m really lucky anytime I’m around those more experienced people that they’re kind enough to kind of extend some advice and some encouragement my way. And it sticks with me.”

We’re the MillersAlso starred Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Kathryn HahnAnd Ed Helms. Although Poulter’s comedic timing made him a standout in the film, it’s actually drama that he’s more drawn to.

“Truth be told, I think my heart’s probably more in drama. I think comedy’s something that I do and I have fun doing, but drama’s where I kind of wrestle with stuff a little bit more and I enjoy that challenge. Comedy I definitely have more fun, but I sort of almost enjoy the difficulty that comes with drama,” he explained. “I sort of get off on the friction that I guess drama affords me from an emotional standpoint. Comedy can sometimes feel like too much fun that I’m not getting my hands dirty enough.”
Poulter continued to play Gally in The Maze RunnerFranchise and a terrifying cop in Kathryn Bigelow-directed period crime drama DetroitIn addition to their roles in Leonardo DiCaprio’s The Revenant, Midsommar, and the TV miniseries DopesickAlongside Michael Keaton, which focuses on America’s struggle with opioid addiction.

“DopesickThis was something that I was passionate about. It provided me with a commentary on addiction, the injustice that addicts also face, and the difficulties they face. These are all compounded by a systemic injustice. So that’s something I wanna try and continue to do, that gives me a sort of greater sense of purpose, I think, with what I’m doing. And it helps me feel as though I’m sort of maximizing the potential of my job and my roles. I’m keen to try and keep that going as long as possible,” Poulter told Use. “Every time I’m around an experienced actor, I’m really just trying to kind of observe and absorb as much as possible. Michael Keaton was a person who gave me a lot and was very supportive. Leonardo DiCaprio really kind of put his arm around me and helped me out a lot.”
Poulter has a long list of actors and directors he’d love to work with in the future, but he’d also rework with most too. “I wanna work with Kathryn Bigelow again,” he said. “I know that’s a bit greedy!”
The Score star feels “so lucky” with his profession, but he isn’t ruling anything else out.

“Cooking is something that I’m really interested in, and I’ve always said I’d love to try and go to culinary school at some point. That’s something I still want to do, is go away to culinary school at some point, if I carve out like a year for myself,” he said, noting that his trailers on set tend to be packed with chef biographies. “But the problem is I’m not very good at time management, multitasking or operating under pressure. So I doubt I would be able to manage a professional kitchen. I think I’m just gonna stick to reading about chefs and watching TV shows about them, as opposed to trying to do what they do. It’s not to be taken lightly. That’s a serious craft!”
