English actor Jason Isaac, best known for his roles in the Harry Potter film franchise and the HBO series The White Lotus, is opening up about his long-lasting career in the entertainment industry.
While recording the June 9 episode of Modern Family star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast, Dinner's On Me, Isaac shared he had a low point in his career following the release of the 2003 fantasy film, Peter Pan, directed by P.J. Hogan. Isaac, who played Captain Hook and Wendy Darling's (Rachel Hurd-Wood) father Mr. George Darling, said the film did not do well at the box office, causing issues for the cast and crew.
"It's a beautiful film. And it destroyed everybody's career. It took home five and a half cents and a bubblegum wrapper," said the 62-year-old during the podcast interview. "It was all over for everybody. I couldn't get a walk-on on CSI: Hendon. I was thinking, 'I need plastic surgery. I've got to go. I've got to go back to law.' It was terrible."
He suggested, however, that he did not regret starring in the film, which he described as "stunning." He explained that he felt "grounded" in his life and "didn't invest in this film's success like other people did."
Isaac made similar comments about Peter Pan during a 2021 interview with FilmSpeak. Isaac said the film, which "went massively over budget," was praised by film executives during its production.
"[They would] whisper things in my ear like 'Oscar campaigns' and 'You'll never fly commercial again.' And all this nonsense," said Isaac during the 2021 interview.
He said, however, that he wasn't terribly disappointed when the film didn't become a hit among audiences.
"When the film came out and was a catastrophe commercially, not critically, but commercially. Yes, it was disappointing, but in the right size way. I hadn't built up expectations," said the actor.
