00:00 I've seen the film, your performance blew me away.

00:02 You were so amazing in this movie.

00:04 How did you get into this character

00:05 and go about portraying him,

00:07 who really has these moral dilemmas he's dealing with?

00:09 - Yeah, what was nice is that it was really clear

00:11 in the text that he was a very open-hearted individual,

00:15 and I think the dialogue really supplemented that.

00:17 So generally, I just pay really close attention

00:21 to the words I have to say.

00:22 I try to dissect those and figure out, like,

00:24 what must've happened in this poor guy's life

00:26 to make him, you know, feel this way,

00:28 say this thing at this time, what's his history,

00:31 and then from that, I kind of build a disposition.

00:33 And yeah, I guess that's where I started,

00:36 and it gets a lot easier while you're filming

00:38 and you kind of get to know the chemistry

00:39 you have with your co-stars.

00:41 Yeah, that's about it.

00:44 - Speaking of chemistry, I saw a video online

00:46 of you and Rachel passing these love notes on set.

00:49 Can you give us a little tease

00:50 of what the notes said or anything?

00:52 - Yeah, it was a doodle.

00:53 It's funny how this is, like, such hot goss,

00:56 and to me, it was just like,

00:57 I just drew a little flower with a face on it,

00:59 and I gave it to her.

01:01 But yeah, no, it's nothing really spicy.

01:04 It was a doodle I gave her that I was drawing that day

01:06 'cause it's a long day on set.

01:08 - Like I said, you were so great in this movie,

01:10 but of course, so is she.

01:11 What has it been like watching her shine in this film

01:13 and on this press tour?

01:14 - Great, it's been absolutely wonderful.

01:16 I love getting to watch her just, like, blast off,

01:18 you know?

01:20 I think she's an amazing talent.

01:21 She's a wonderful person to work with

01:24 and a wonderful person to be around.

01:25 It really, like, yeah, it means a lot.
