Lewis Pullman on His Surprise Emmy Congratulations From Lamorne Morris, Possible ‘Lessons in Chemistry’ Season 2

Lewis Pullman was just nominated for his first-ever Emmy, but he isn’t nervous about it. The actor — who received the best supporting actor in a limited series or movie made for television for his work opposite Brie Larson in Lessons in Chemistry — is now a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (he’s joined the cast of Thunderbolts). He also previously starred in Top Gun: Maverick and says that nothing can compare to the nerves he experienced on that set. “Nothing beats flying in an F-18,” Pullman laughs. “Everything feels easy after you’ve gone hundreds of miles an hour. It all feels sedentary after that.” Below, Pullman opens up to Glamour’s Los angeles about what it’s like to be a first-time Emmy nominee, and what his dad (actor Bill Pullman) had to say about the nomination.

I’m currently in my office and still in my pajamas. I was on a Zoom for the last half hour, trying to pretend like my phone wasn’t exploding, so I’ve only had about 15 minutes to wrap my head around this whole thing. It hasn’t sunk in yet. I should be thankful they don’t do them super early in the morning anymore. I used to be an early riser, but now I’m all over the place. I would not have made it for the 5:30 a.m. announcement, that’s for sure.
