00:00What did you think when Guillermo came to you with this idea?
00:03I wasn't expecting it.
00:05I was just sitting with him talking, and after a long conversation,
00:09he looked up to me and said,
00:10I think that you need to be my Victor Frankenstein.
00:13And I was just, yeah, I still can't believe it.
00:15I still really can't believe it.
00:16I think I'm going to get on that stage and maybe faint,
00:18because I was expecting to wake up any moment and be like,
00:21I knew this wasn't real, but he said,
00:24I'm going to make you a banquet as an actor,
00:27and that is what he did.
00:28Every day I would come to set, and I just was so excited
00:30and was doing all sorts of beautiful, difficult, expressive things,
00:36and I just had him as my brother right there with me,
00:38helping me every step of the way.
00:40He's described this as not a horror movie.
00:42How would you kind of describe what it is?
00:44It is a big, Mexican, dark, sumptuous, dramatic character piece.
00:52And how is it seeing Jacob as the monster for the first time?
00:56Heartbreaking.
00:56Heartbreaking is such a graceful, beautiful, sad portrait,
01:02and rageful portrait of this creature.
