mmm
contingent upon finding the right boy for boyhood
that was the only real think this is what we were casting for
only really think because it was like buchanan and I
I called Patricia we talked and she kinda came aboard
everything about this film so weird but that was kinda the weirdest
to be looking at an actor going work as usual your cast like are you
are you the right person for this role that we will in the next couple months
you know
but this was like who you gonna be in 10 years yeah
get when he ever get to do that in this world you know so is like
it was like finding the next Dalai Lama
year just kinda like or how little man
is this yours from you know we're I
no bed we religious we will we talked a lot
he told great stories in the book and the six-year-old
oh yeah yeah use he was unlike any other six-year-old
the teams are you watching R-rated movies and music taste was
you know that have a really cool like 14 morning rollover your music taste is a
60
happen
and I think Lake Pink Floyd the
Radiohead Rage Against the Machine rate yet years more like
is their heavy metal at that point here that we honor thing
in between US angry they totaled yeah
she knew all joking aside about all that um
from my position in the you know
organization rivers I knew peninsular way I here I was living in new york new
with lower
I found Mia in will basically fell to me really well that's the decision
you made then the whole thing rests on
in very there's a certain bit at the movie could handle
when the kids were young that there's a certain
all children are beautiful you know they they really are and so it's okay
the big thing was who our evolved into
as a young man you not to talk about you third person but it was a really
beautiful
it was a beautiful that young kid who was in two regions machine with
corruptions
when he turned to over 13 he started having something to say
about art in about storytelling in about your own life
in you you to understand each other
in in a nonverbal and verbal way that made
the filmmaking extremely easy didn't get these guys where r Germany concept ive
I'm going to be growing up on screen on
I mean yeah I had I I mean I knew who they were as much as you think the idea
but what a lake
famously movie person is is pretty abstract
when you're States and also the idea of twelve years is pretty abstract
when he researches his wife
I the next 12 years as like hard to wrap my head around now
as a six year olds pure fantasy
i mean i think i understood as much as I could you know
idea had been around a lot of like weird art projects and so it sort of made
sense
yet you excited about you know we have never wavered
people always ask like will did you was that your you want to talk with her

conscious that
%um getting yeah
Island yeah is not likely do what everyone
yeah I think I did present what is that would guys your age you doing that
that gonna work in the movies I okay fine yeah that's not
out of the norm when you first saw
the film when did you first see it and it's completed was your reaction
and a month before Sunday and I wept for like two days
on it was a lot to take in by
remember why I year it was like hey shouldn't take this and watch it alone
it's going to be you
intense if it was intense
what was that about what was the intensity was I mean I think
the way we Asians something and the way he changed over time something that you
know
spend your whole life kinda wondering about and trying to put your finger on
you know you can with your pictures but its
entirely different to see it like this and Anna
just in a min overflying have emotions
I've seen it like a dozen times now and I just as last time I watched as the
first time in months
on is the first time I've been able to late C Mason is character and not
like this weird worked version of myself
I'm which is great it's much less stressful
way a new
winning particularly you know and learn more like a really unique
position I don't think actors ever been and I'm people been documented
I guess and documentaries and things like that over time but in a narrative
peace were you know it's it's a fictional character but it is a
representation
now to through all these years the
pretty big thing to take and from
