How Much Of The Movie Is Based On Real Life]] 402p6f /chef-movie-true-story-jon-favreau-real-life/<![CDATA[Cory Stillman]]><![CDATA[Movies]]><![CDATA[Chef]]><![CDATA[Jon Favreau]]><![CDATA[ Jon Favreau's 2014 film Chef remains one of the director's most personal films. But how exactly does the film connect to his personal life? ]]><![CDATA[

Jon Favreau's 2014 film Chef may not be directly based on a true story, but it remains an immensely personal film for the director - to the extent it is natural to wonder how much is based on his real life. A glimpse at some of Favreau's more recent directorial efforts may make Chef seem out of place in his filmography, but the opposite is true. The actor/director has found success in recent years with hit properties such as The Mandalorian and Iron Man, although Favreau did not direct Iron Man 3.

One of the great things about mainstream superhero comics is that, while the wider universe is huge, each hero comes complete with their own ing cast. Marvel heroes are interlinked, but they tend to come with their own villains, their own struggles, their own love interests, and their own friends. Such is certainly the case for Iron Man, who - when he isn't palling around with Captain America and Thor - has friends of his own, such as his former love interest and close friend Pepper Potts, and his best friend Harold "Happy" Hogan... who he murdered in 2007.
