Francesca Scorsese on Growing up with Martin Scorsese, Filmmaking, TikTok, and One Direction

Best known to many through her hilarious TikToks which often rope in her Oscar-winning legend of a Martin Scorsese, 26-year-old Francesca is also carving out a career as an actor/director/writer in her own right and she joins us fresh off the announcement that she’s been cast in Season 2 of Amazon's 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith.'

We talk about growing up on legendary film sets, why acting scares her more than directing, and how the two disciplines inform one another. Francesca also opens up about hyperfixation, anxiety, becoming a caregiver after her mother was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's, the heartbreak of grieving someone who is still alive (the experiences of which informed her short film ‘Fish Out of Water’), navigating "nepo baby" discourse, and responding to TikTok haters. We also chat about the script she's currently writing, crushing on Asa Butterfield during 'Hugo,' her blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the One Direction doc, what she thinks about Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, Saint Carlo Acutis, and plenty more.
