00:00I think the memories that shape you of, you know, where it's memories are how you sort

00:23of learn as you go into the future.

00:26So the memories that shape you are all about, you know, the lessons in life that you're

00:31learning and that you're applying to yourself.

00:34And then when you become a parent, I think you can take those lessons and apply it to

00:39your kids.

00:41What is your obsession with Paloma?

00:44What it means for you, Paloma?

00:46Ah, Paloma.

00:48So we made a film called Road to Paloma years ago.

00:53And on in during that film, I rescued a dog named Paloma and we named her Paloma rescue.

01:01We rescued her on a Native American reservation.

01:05So she passed away during prep on this from from lymphoma.

01:10So she's our dogs are very big to us.

01:14And so when we had to name the rabbit, it just felt like it was great to name her Paloma.

01:19Plus just the other meanings of Paloma being peace.

01:22And wow.

01:23So sweet.

01:25And like in the movie, what's your childhood favorite song?

01:31My childhood?

01:32If you have one.

01:33Yeah.

01:33Well, Sweet Child of Mine is not bad at all.

01:37Yeah.

01:38It's certainly one.

01:41So you threw an ambulance in the middle of Pittsburgh.

01:46It was crazy that scene with the dolly in the air.

01:49It was crazy.

01:49So what's the craziest thing that you have done on set?

01:53I think the craziest thing I've been seeing this this one.

01:57And I hope I hope I don't leave interview going like, oh, there's another one that was crazier.

02:01But we had to shoot on a live subway.

02:04And so we we closed down.

02:07We shot from one stop to the next stop.

02:09And we had to time it out.

02:12The fight choreographed the fight so that it worked within that amount of time to get there.

02:17And then once it reached the second stop, we had to throw Bella out.

02:21She gets thrown from the train.

02:22That was probably the most challenging.

02:26Just logistically, whenever you shoot on something live, that being a subway train is always difficult.
