35 分钟The actor John Magaro is picky about whom he goes to dinner with. Magaro is an adventurous eater. So whether he’s buying offal from the butcher, making stews from the 1800s or falling in love over a plate of rabbit, he says it’s important to him that the people he shares a meal with are willing to be curious. For Magaro, it’s about more than personal preferences. Sharing a meal and connecting with other people, he says, is the bedrock of society. Magaro played Arthur in “Past Lives,” one of our favorite movies last year. His character is constantly working to understand his wife on a deeper level. And Magaro sees that quality in “My Dinners With Andrew,” by Sara Pepitone, a Modern Love essay about food as a love language, and a series of dinners that make, and break, two relationships.
From the New York Times, I'm Anna Martin.
This is modern love.
I'mma rapid fire you some questions about food.
How does that sound?
Sounds good.
Okay.
Favorite meal.
That's like asking favorite movie?
Our favorite book.
I swear.
Favorite meal.
There's too many.
I know.
Maybe just one of our favorite habitats.
Oh, goodness gracious.
I'm talking this week with John Magaro.
John is an actor with a very diverse resume.
Most recently, he was in the movie Past lives, directed by Celine Song, which was nominated for best picture.
And his performance in that movie needs to be said, made me ugly cry in the theater.
It was not pretty.
