“Growing up, sometimes my mom would take me to auditions and I would sit in the waiting room with her,” he recalled. “My dad didn’t want me to be an actor; he wanted me to be a hockey player and become a lawyer. That didn’t happen.”
Lofranco also described Jolie, 50, as his “dream girl” and expressed his excitement at working with her on “Unbroken.”

At the end of the interview, Lofranco shared his hopes for the future of his career.
“I want to do real-life, candid films,” he stated. “I don’t want to be thrown into anything that could jeopardize my career. I want to be wise about what I choose. Actors whose choices I’ve liked are Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, River Phoenix.”
