00:00Was it a very big contrast from F1?
00:02Because I imagine, yeah, that's just night and day.
00:05Yeah, I suppose.
00:06But then, like you were saying, it's still a job.
00:08You know what I mean?
00:09Like, regardless of what's going on around you,
00:12it kind of still feels like I have lines to her
00:14and I have to be relaxed, I have to deliver, I have to...
00:16Do you know what I mean?
00:17They're all acting jobs, so...
00:21It didn't seem that different, I suppose.
00:25At the end of the day, it's the same thing.
00:28But you're right about setting.
00:29Adolfo has a very small footprint, so we weren't aware,
00:32and he didn't use any lights.
00:33So I was just sitting in the campfire talking to the guys,
00:36and you were just in a wagon going someplace
00:38while you do something like F1.
00:40And, you know, I'll be looking at you,
00:43but there's 73 other people and flags and everything.
00:46But at the end of the day, you block all that out,
00:50you look at each other and just get them to do your bidding.
00:53Exactly.
00:53So in many ways, maybe it was a little easier
00:55not having to block it all out.
00:58Even on a set, when you get in a set
00:59and it's a completely realized set,
01:01you think, well, I'm the president
01:04because this is the White House.
01:05But when you do the ones, you know,
01:07where it's going to be CGI and...
01:09A bit more imagination.
01:10Yeah.
01:11Yeah.
01:11Yeah.
