Steve Wozniak says all of the riveting conversations in "Steve Jobs" never happened, but he enjoyed the biopic anyway.
"Everything in the movie didn't happen," the Apple co-founder said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday. "Every scene that I'm in, I wasn't talking to Steve Jobs at those events."
Wozniak met with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin on multiple occasions to help him correctly depict his character, played by Seth Rogen, but the tech wiz never asked to see the script to verify its accuracy because he didn't feel "it was appropriate."
"It's the artistic freedom to make a movie that is enjoyable," he said. "We had meetings on multiple occasions … tiny, tiny bits that were somewhere else kind of got used by him and painted by him in a different way and a different place."
Even before having seen the biopic, Wozniak had told Bloomberg that a scene in the trailer, in which he confronts Jobs about hogging the credits for the Macintosh's creation, had been invented.
However, everything that happens in the movie is based on things did happen in reality. Therefore, Wozniak described the movie as a "portrait," not a photograph, at an Oct. 9 screening of the film in San Francisco.
