Eve Hewson Reveals Barack Obama Dropped by 'Disclosure Day' Set During Intense Filming

Eve Hewson had quite the surprise visitor on the set of Disclosure Day. The 34-year-old actress stopped by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Monday, June 9, to discuss her experience when former President Barack Obama made an appearance at the Steven Spielberg production.

Hewson, daughter of U2 frontman Bono, explained that Obama's visit coincided with one of the most demanding days of her shoot. She was filming a particularly grueling scene that required extensive screaming and considerable blood effects. "It was bonkers," she recalled of the encounter.

She also noted that her co-star Josh O'Connor was feeling the strain of the day's work, joking that he'd mentioned needing to head home because he was "exhausted from being so charming."

Once Hewson wrapped her intense scene, Obama approached her with a lighthearted quip. "Oh, Eve, where'd you get that scream? You stub your toe?" he asked, drawing laughs from both the actress and Fallon.

The conversation took a playful turn when Hewson and Fallon speculated about whether Obama and Spielberg might share a "secret alien society" where they bond over their mutual fascination with extraterrestrials—the central theme of Disclosure Day. Hewson referenced a video she'd seen earlier in the year of Obama discussing the reality of aliens, which sparked her curiosity about how the two men became acquainted.

Disclosure Day hits theaters on Friday, June 15, 2026.
