00:00I heard that this is your first movie. What has this experience been like for you?

00:03It's been unreal. I mean, it's been everything I would want and more.

00:06It's been a dream. I actually have nothing bad to say about it, truly.

00:10Yeah, and I know, of course, you get to play a teenage

00:13Blake Lively. What was that like, and what conversations did the two of you have

00:18in order to maybe get the character or the mannerisms right? Because

00:21I know everyone's been talking about how much you guys look alike, but also you

00:25guys sound alike, too, which is insane.

00:27Yeah, we really talked a couple times about it, and just kind of realized that

00:31it was such a pure stroke of luck that we

00:33do have such similar qualities about each other. We always joke, we're like,

00:37somebody's dad did my dad. We're the genes. We need to see a

00:4123andMe test or something, because it is truly crazy how similar we are, and

00:45I would have never guessed it, yeah.

00:47Was there anything that you worked on in terms of character together, or you

00:51kind of kept it pretty separate? I mean, she was so incredible with me. She gave me

00:54such a huge amount of agency with the character, and sharing this

00:58character with me was such a blessing that she gave me. We really just

01:02mainly talked about what her core values are, you know? Like, who is Lily?

01:06But when it came to mannerisms and things, I think we just kind of held it.

01:10Yeah, exactly. Amazing. Of course, we know that this movie deals with a lot of,

01:15and this book, too, deals with a lot of heavy topics. What was the most

01:18challenging scene for you to work through yourself? I mean, I wouldn't even

01:23say challenging, but the first scene that we did was the garden scene, and we

01:27jumped right into it, and you know, it's a really vulnerable scene, but that

01:31wasn't even challenging, because we were surrounded by such wonderful people.

01:34And my co-star, Alex, who's over there, he was such a safe space to just, like,

01:39be with, and we worked together so well that, like, even the really hard parts,

01:43like, felt safe. Yeah. And of course, speaking of the young Atlas, I know you

01:49and Alex have such a strong bond on screen. Did you do anything off-screen or

01:53any sort of bonding exercises as a cast to sort of build that chemistry? We kind

01:58of just, like, hung out. We would, like, grab dinner after set. We'd talk about it. We'd be,

02:01like, how'd you feel? What was that? We did go to Six Flags, actually, one day on

02:05our weekend break, and it was monsooning, similarly to this, but it wasn't

02:09happening before, and then lightning was striking, and it was a very scary

02:12experience, but it's good to see people afraid. It makes you closer, you know? It

02:15was, yeah, it was a funny time, yeah. Finally, I wanted to ask, obviously, such a huge fan

02:20base for this book. What is another Colleen Hoover book that you would want

02:23to see made into an on-screen adaptation? It starts with us. Do we know? Is there

02:30any tea? I have no idea, but if it happens, let me know. Yeah.
