00:04Burt is a movie about second chances, specifically about a guy named Adam Jones who was a chef
00:10who moved to London and Paris first when he was a young teenager and worked his way up
00:16and became very successful but then really kind of ruined it.
00:20I've always been fascinated by food, eating it primarily, but growing up in an Italian
00:26household. My grandmother was an incredible cook and we just grew up with food being
00:30basically what we talked about. You either talked about what you were gonna eat, what
00:34you just ate, and what you're gonna eat tomorrow. Those were basically the
00:37conversations that happened around the kitchen table with my family, which I
00:42think is very, people can relate to actually. I always loved to cook food for
00:45my friends. They'd come over and I'd always just love to just test out stuff.
00:49So just something that always came natural to me.
00:54I felt very lucky to be able to play a character who had so many dimensions, I
01:00think, and that wasn't some, a character that you thought, well does a person like
01:04that really exist? I mean, I think that clearly I felt like, yeah, this all makes
01:08sense. This is a guy who's very tortured and trying to do the right thing, but he's
01:13making mistakes because he's doing it on his own. And I, and we see those mistakes
01:16play out and not in a, not in a watered-down way. And that was, that was great to play.
01:26It's a movie about a guy who is fighting the temptation to allow
01:31people to help him. And in the end, the hope is that he realizes that he can't
01:35ever achieve what he wants without the help of others.
