Adam Scott couldn't believe his luck in Netflix's latest movie

When Adam Scott joined the set of Netflix's thriller The Whisper Man, the excitement in him was palpable.

And why not?

He is starring alongside legendary stars Robert De Niro and Michael Keaton.

It's another milestone: both veteran actors will share the screen for the first time in almost three decades. Their last shared film was Jackie Brown in 1997.

But back to Scott, working with such top stars was a big deal, and he described his feelings similarly.

“It was a big deal on set that these guys were going to do a scene together,” he told People. “Oh, my god.”

However, Scott is not the only star-struck star on the set. Michelle Monaghan was another.

“We spoke in depth together about it, because we had to share our attention and our turmoil and our fear,” she said.

“This is somebody obviously that we grew up revering and was inspired by their work to go on and pursue a profession in our industry," the actress continued.

"The reality of getting to work with him, whether I was 10, 20 or 50, it’s still nothing could compare to that feeling of being able to meet him, shake his hand and do a scene with him," Monaghan noted.

The Whisper Man is streaming on Netflix.
