00:00First time he walked on set in full prosthetics wardrobe, what goes through your head?

00:07Holy shit, is what went through my head.

00:10I just thought, I was really staggered by it.

00:14I really, it's, it changed the air in the room.

00:18Everyone just went very quiet and I felt for him because I could,

00:24it was very emotional because I think I also sensed this relief at disappearing from him

00:35and it seemed so organic and I know that his prep for the part was so painstaking

00:40but the transformation seemed like, like water in the desert.

00:45It was so magical.

00:48When you saw him going through, I mean you did it too,

00:50going through the darkest, the darkest moments of someone's life.

00:55How do you go home from filming that day and sort of wash it off?

01:00I mean, there was tequila on set after.

01:04You love the tequila.

01:05I love tequila.

01:07I love it so much. I need it.

01:10We would sit, we would have a drink, we would,

01:13and then everyone would just get in their cars and just go home

01:16and it was, those quiet long drives were really essential

01:20and the scenes were shattering at times.

01:23They were really, really deeply emotional and rewarding in that sense too

01:30because you've tried to achieve something very real

01:33and the environment Benny creates is unnervingly real.

01:39You know, there's nothing technical around you

01:41so the deep dive felt deep.

01:46Are you closer to a Jungle Cruise sequel?

01:48I feel we've got to do something else now.

01:53I'm like, what else, you know?

01:55I mean, you're hearing Oscar buzz for this.

01:57That should lead to a Jungle Cruise sequel like Netflix.

02:00No, call Disney.

02:02Get us back on that boat.

02:03Don't you just call them and say I want it?

02:05I should.

02:06In fact, I will.

02:07In fact, I have to go.

02:08Yeah.

02:08Thank you so much.
