Peter Dinklage suits up for the premiere of his newest movie, Cyrano, held at the SVA Theater on Wednesday (February 23) in New York City.
The 52-year-old actor hit the red carpet with his wife, Erica Schmidt, and joined his co-stars Haley Bennett and Kelvin Harrison, Jr., along with director Joe Wright.
Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu was also seen on the red carpet for the special screening.
The movie version is based on classic novel of the same name, and also the musical stage version, which had been written Erica.
In a new interview with Newsweek, Peter joked about how the role wasn’t written for him.
“She definitely didn’t write this for me,” he laughed. “When she created this thing, I just happened to be in the room and unemployed at the time, truly.”
Peter added that it was daunting playing the character.
“I always think she’s writing like, the perfect version of me but the version of me that she wishes I was,” he says. “No, but that’s very egotistical of me to say and think that way, and unhealthy.”
Cyrano opens in theaters on Friday, February 25.
