Taylor Sheridan recalls 'living in his car'
Published in Entertainment News
Taylor Sheridan was "homeless twice" before finding fame.
The 56-year-old star has opened up about his pre-fame struggles, revealing that he was homeless before getting his big break in Hollywood.
Speaking to Town and Country, Taylor shared: "I was homeless twice. I lived in my car."
Sheridan could've easily given up on his career dreams - but he always retained hope that he'd eventually find fame and success.
He recalled: "I did that for six months. I could have decided at any point, 'I'm going to go get a full-time job and I'm going to give up this dream.' And I chose to sleep in my car over that."
Sheridan starred in the hit TV series Sons of Anarchy before turning his focus to writing.
The Hollywood star enjoyed significant success as the writer of movies like Sicario and Hell or High Water, and he's now revealed what he bought with his first big pay check.
He shared: "When I sold that first screenplay, I bought a little house on an acre on a river in Wyoming.
"We moved there, and I wrote a check for it. Then, as I would start to have more success, I would buy a little bit more land beside it and get a couple horses. I'm still so averse to having to ever owe anybody anything."
Meanwhile, Taylor previously admitted that he isn't a fan of Marvel movies.
The screenwriter has always admired originality and independent thinking in his professional life, but he doesn't see that in the Marvel film franchise.
During an appearance on the Bill Simmons Podcast, Taylor explained: "What everyone else was doing was taking shortcuts.
"Essentially, breaking all the very basic, fundamental rules of storytelling. Because they couldn't figure out their story.
"With a movie, you're supposed to show me what's happening. The camera is supposed to move the story. The dialogue is supposed to tell me how the people in this world feel about what's happening or what they hope to do or what they wish they hadn't done or had done.
"So, if you stick to that one basic rule from the beginning, never have a character tell me something that the camera could show me."
