Woody Harrelson arguably brings one of his strongest career roles in a new Lyndon B. Johnson bio-pic “LBJ”.

The star digs deep – under layers of makeup and prosthetics – to play the 36th President of the United States on-screen. Combined with director Rob Reiner’s vision, Harrelson (“Cheers”, “The People vs. Larry Flynt”, “The Messenger”) makes sure to show Johnson’s vulnerable and insecure side as he struggles on his political path to Presidency after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963.

“It’s maybe one of the best things he’s ever done,” says Reiner (“Stand By Me”, “When Harry Met Sally…”) of Harrelson in our Nespresso Festival Central Lounge.
