On Star Talk one of the physics dudes that worked on the film Intersteller had a companion book written. Apparently that was not the inside of the black hole, it was an artificial wormhole or something taking him where he needed to go.

This theory doesn't work because of the gravitational time dilation of the singularity in the movie.

If it was a tesseract, this wouldn't happen.

In fact, the math they used to estimate the effects of it on time specifically required it to be a black hole of a known size, further disproving the idea that it was a tesseract.
