00:00Congratulations.
00:02This is obviously Wayne's kind of first role like this.
00:04How did you know that he could tackle something that's traumatic?
00:06I looked in his eyes and I just saw.
00:09Honestly, that's the truth.
00:11I could see that there was this depth and complexity to him.
00:14And he was also so inquisitive and wanting to learn, just like as you spoke to him.
00:19Because you don't know what...
00:21He's such a larger than life guy, you don't know what to expect.
00:25And then when I met him, I was just like, wow, this guy's unbelievable.
00:29He really is, like the real deal.
00:31And I just thought, wow, he really can embody this in a way that would be very special.
00:37And I think we can get at a really layered, complicated performance.
00:40Because he does radiate such kind of kindness and warmth.
00:43But I think that like, if you show that he's also been through some stuff.
00:48And on top of that, he still is that way.
00:51That just makes him even better, you know?
00:54And you had a no stent on him, right?
00:56Yes, you know, for his shots, you know, I wanted to see him do it.
01:01You know, and of course, like when he doesn't have to get in there.
01:04You know, we've had people like for like reverse shots and stuff.
01:08But it was very important to me to see him do these things.
01:12Because I didn't want, like for example, there's a shot where he gets punched and he falls down.
01:17And he slides into the ropes.
01:19Normally, you would show the punch.
01:21You'd cut to behind and somebody would fall.
01:24And then he would be on the ground and then you'd see him on the ground.
01:26I wanted to see him do the whole thing.
01:29I wanted to see him engage in these moments because I knew that the realism of the movie would overcome.
01:35That was the most important thing.
01:37And if you thought I was hiding something, you wouldn't buy it, you know?
01:42So he needed to do it.
01:43Wow.
01:44And this is the first movie you've done without your brother.
01:46Was that kind of an adjustment or how did that compare?
01:48You know, it wasn't really an adjustment in the sense that I had been acting a lot, you know, on my own for a while.
01:56And there's a level of kind of like independence that you have there.
02:00And then I made a TV show with my friend Nathan, The Curse.
02:05So it's been a kind of a process of what do I want to explore?
02:09And then I started doing the history of the movie.
02:13I had a TV show with my dad today because everybody watched it.
02:16I haven't seen it yet.
02:17So it was like, I'mćź¶ of the man.
02:19And that's pretty good enough because of the film.
02:20And I just think I was going to leave the movie because it's like success.
02:23I was going to show you everything and you were.
02:27And that's pretty good.
02:30Yeah, sure.
02:31But that happened so that I could finish my Deutschland name off across the wall.
