00:00What did you think when Guillermo presented these multiple roles to you?
00:08Just that. Okay. I remember we met over an omelette. He shared with me the rough outline of the script at that time.
00:17He said, what do you think? Do you want to be a part of my movie? I was like, yeah. Do you want to play Claire too? Yeah.
00:23And then he gave me a fist pump and I said, okay, Guillermo, I'll see you soon. And that was how it began. It was amazing.
00:31Now, this is a dream project for him that he's been dreaming about making for a long time. Did that add any pressure for you?
00:37Yeah. So much pressure. I've never been more scared entering, stepping into a film. It was, it was, it was a lot.
00:48It's Guillermo del Toro making the movie that you've always wanted Guillermo del Toro to make.
00:51But, you know, after a while you have to just relent, you know, and you just have to let go and just use whatever it is that you're feeling.
01:03And I found that that feel, that's it, that feeling of pressure and helped the performance ultimately.
01:09Jacob plays the creature in this. What was he like on set? Was he more method keeping to himself or was he, you know, cracking jokes between takes?
01:16He was just incredibly calm. He's very calm. There's a purity to him. There's an innocence to him. You know, he didn't complain once.
01:30In the 56 days of prosthetics that he was, I didn't hear him complain once. He was the ultimate professional and he's done a really beautiful job.
01:41Coming up for you, you're stepping into the Star Wars universe. I know you can't say much, but did Oscar give you any advice?
01:47We did speak about it. It was just fun. It was cool.
