00:00You were really twirling J-Lo around in this movie.
00:03Can you speak to what it was like on your first day before doing a dance number with Jennifer Lopez?
00:10Like what's going through your head?
00:12Well, I mean, rehearsal was really important, you know?
00:16Rehearsal was crucial for me to understand how to approach my first day, you know?
00:23Definitely.
00:24And I think she said something that was very important for me, you know?
00:31Which was, I mean, she said many things.
00:33She was very generous and she helped me through the whole process.
00:37But one day she said, like, when you dance, it shows what you're feeling, you know?
00:45There's no way to hide it.
00:47So enjoy, have fun, you know?
00:49Because it comes across, people can see it, you know?
00:53And that day I relaxed.
00:55I was like, yeah, it's about enjoying and I'm sure we'll get there.
00:58It was about working really hard and being very patient, you know?
01:05And on the day I was ready.
01:08I mean, it was because of the amount of work I did with Sergio and all the people.
01:15And again, it was about her generosity and the beautiful lead she is, you know, when she's working, you know?
01:26She shows the rigor that is needed, you know?
01:32The tenacity that is needed, you know?
01:34No, to be honest, when I got the news that I got cast, it was one of those moments where
01:39I was like, am I about to go to the Olympics?
01:42Do you know what I'm saying?
01:43Because Jennifer is one of the world's most incredible performers.
01:47She has a decades-long career of entertainment, of transformative work.
01:51And so to be able to jump in there with her and Diego, who also has been in it since
01:57he was a teenager,
01:59and to live in a Bill Condon world, it just felt like, finally, I get to jump in there and
02:05be with the greats.
