00:00 - I do have to ask, 'cause I don't know anything about,

00:04 like, obviously we need to keep your character surprised

00:06 for the audience, for me, for everybody.

00:09 So since I don't know anything,

00:11 did you happen to share the screen with Jake at all?

00:15 Like, did you share any scenes with him?

00:17 And if so, what was it like working with him?

00:20 - Majority.

00:20 Again, I don't wanna give away too much, but yes.

00:25 You know, again, you're on set with three and a half

00:29 to four months with these guys, you know?

00:32 So yeah, my character, you know, I am in the roadhouse,

00:36 you know, so there is a lot of amazing moments

00:41 with all of us, with Jake as well.

00:44 But to answer your question in terms of, like,

00:45 what it's like working with him, dude, I mean,

00:48 like, you can tell why he's been doing this caliber

00:53 of work over the years.

00:56 I mean, look at the preparation in his physical body, right?

01:01 For how he prepared for this film.

01:03 So I always tell people, I'm like, okay,

01:06 I feel like the way you treat yourself is a reflection

01:09 of how you treat everything else, right?

01:11 So if you see how people like Matthew McConaughey

01:14 or Jake Gyllenhaal, or if we go to, what, Christian Bale,

01:18 like, these guys that all just are down

01:20 to transform their bodies are again, you know,

01:23 it's like, it's a sense of method acting

01:25 in terms of transforming your body

01:26 to actually become this person.

01:29 It's just cool to see that energy.

01:31 It's cool to experience that, 'cause you're like,

01:33 what happens is you see a level of dedication and focus,

01:36 you're like, they're not here by accident.

01:39 No matter how you try to frame it or put it,

01:42 you can see the work.

01:43 And to me, that was dope to experience.

01:45 You know, I've seen it with Connor,

01:46 I've seen it with, same thing with Jessica Williams,

01:49 Billy Madison, like, everybody who's there on the set,

01:52 like, you can tell that, like,

01:55 they've been working over the years

01:56 because when it was lights, cameras, action,

01:59 everybody's working and they're bringing shit to the party.

02:01 They're bringing things to the table.

02:02 So to me, it was just fun.

02:04 Again, I don't know how else to frame it,

02:06 but it was just dope to be on that experience

02:09 because if you look at my body of work,

02:11 I worked with A-listers, Johnny Depp, VF Schreiber,

02:14 John Boyd, Eddie Marston, so it's like-

02:16 - I noticed, yeah, yeah.

02:18 - It's not, there's no star struck.

02:20 There's no, it's just more being like,

02:23 again, it's that Kobe, Michael Jordan mentality.

02:26 Like, Kobe looked up to Michael,

02:28 but he still wanted to be great.

02:29 He was still, but he's still learning from him.

02:30 So I have that same vibe.

02:31 So every time I'm around these guys,

02:33 I'm just watching, I'm learning, I'm listening.

02:35 We're talking, we're power talking.

02:36 Like, however I can be a sponge and absorb the information

02:40 and become better than Bette, I learn.
