Kurt Russell says that his latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood  was like a flashback to his younger years.

“It reminded me of me and my dad and my friends in the late ’60s and early ’70s. I grew up in that world,” Russell told Cigar Aficionado in a new interview.

While this role may be smaller than others he’s played in the past, Russell, 68, was able to work with director Quentin Tarantino again on this film. Russell plays the role of a stunt coordinator in the film with Leonardo DiCaprio as a Hollywood actor and Brad Pitt as his stunt double.

“I worked with so many stunt coordinators when I was a kid that I had dealer’s choice about who to base him on,” Russell said of his role.
