Tarantino, who just debuted a novelization of his latest movieOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, also offered rare insight into his life as a father, sharing that spending time at home during quarantine was “wonderful” for him.
“I can say very easily, this last year we had to live through the quarantine like everybody else, but aside from that, this last year was an absolutely wonderful year,” he says. “Everyone got huddled in their houses for quarantine, but this was the year I intended to spend at home anyway. It’s the first year of my son’s life. I was planning on being there, all the time. And I was writing the second half of my novel.”
“Daniella created just this wonderful situation for me to be able to go every day and do my work in my office and write, and then I would take little breaks, play with Leo and give him a bath, just hang out with the joy of my little boy,” says Tarantino.
