In ⁠One Nightstand⁠, celebrity readers and writers join us at ⁠The Blond⁠ in ⁠11 Howard⁠ to discuss their favorite books. For this episode, Charlotte Owen sits down with Emmy and Tony Award winner John Leguizamo to talk about four incredible titles, his role in The Odyssey — including playing padel with Tom Holland — as well as the book that took him five years to write. And don’t worry, his turn as Tybalt in Baz Luhrmann's ‘Romeo & Juliet’ comes up too!

John Leguizamo’s One Nightstand picks:

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
Long Day's Journey Into Night by Eugene O'Neill
Dubliners by James Joyce
Open Veins of Latin America by Eduardo Galeano

John stars in Christopher Nolan’s summer blockbuster The Odyssey, out everywhere July 17. His first children’s book, Kiki and the Can, hits shelves in early August.
