David Lynch is a gem of an artist, who’s always gone against the norm and created narratives that linger in your mind, long after you’ve watched them. His unsettling stories, combined with the brilliance of bringing haunted themes to life are unparalleled, and he proves the same inMulholland DriveandTwin Peaks.
Cinephiles would rejoice to know about the time when Steven Spielberg rang him up to make a highly specific request. TheJurassic Parkdirector is a legend in his own right, so the anecdote, narrated by Lynch himself will be nostalgic and bittersweet to fans who are bereaved by the latter’s death.
How David Lynch was convinced to do Steven Spielberg’s movie
Steven Spielbergwas in the process of casting forThe Fabelmans, his semi-autobiographical movie. He wanted David Lynch to play John Ford, who is another renowned filmmaker. Lynch was reluctant at first, but what ultimately motivated him to take on the role was a story for the ages, and he shared the same in an interview withEmpire.
Well, Cheetos, number one, I love them. And any chance I can, I get them. But I know that they’re not exactly health food. So when I do leave the house and I get a chance to… But I don’t get them that often, honestly. If I do get them, I want a big bag.
Because once you start… you need to have a lot before you could slow down and actually stop. Otherwise, with a small bag, then you’d be prowling for days to find more […] It’s incredible flavor.
This quirky request has Lynch written all over it! Only he can stretch such a weird response and make it look humorous. So, Spielberg likely gave him the Cheetos, because how could you deny Lynch his favorite snack?
Why David Lynch said yes — and why we won’t have another like him!
Along with his obvious unserious response, he also shared the actual reason that prompted him to accept the role. He briefly touched upon the thing that made him not take it as well, i.e., not ruining thecareers of actors like Harrison Ford and George Clooney.
So what changed his mind?David Lynchsimply happened to like the scene. He agreed with the lessons that his character, Ford, was going to impart in the movie. He believed that the advice about horizons was a profound and important learning for aspiring filmmakers.

We’ll never have such a mix of humor, artistry, and humility in years to come, because Lynch embodies a creative spirit that is anything but ordinary. Who else would accept a role by Spielberg with such nonchalance, or demand for Cheetos on set? His passing is indeed a great loss to the world.
