He was seen sporting sideburns and impressive whiskers in the movie. In an interview, he had said, "I don't look upon it as my Hollywood debut. It is just a friendly gesture and nothing more. It is just a small scene with Gatsby and his friend, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Meyer Wolfsheim is looked upon as some kind of mentor to Gatsby in the story."

"This trip is to decide my look in the film, what I will wear and other things," Irrfan said in a statement. "Ron and I have been discussing how we will approach the role. We've also spoken about the character's accent. His (the character's) nationality is not important, but he definitely has some British influence. While I was looking for references for the role, Ron sent me some links, and he even got Dan to look for some material, which he forwarded to me. I'm hoping to meet Dan when I'm there," he added.
