THE MORE YOU WORK AT IT, THE
BETTER IT BECOMES.
FOR ME, IT'S WORK.
I DIDN'T COME OUT OF THE WOMB
TAP DANCING.
THAT TOOK A LOT OF REHEARSAREHEARSAL.

HUGH JACKMAN SAID GETTING THAT
WOLVERINE BODY WAS EASIER THAN
PREPARING FOR THIS ROLE.
BECAUSE OF THE DANCING AND THE
SINGING AND HOW PHYSICAL IT IS.
>> HE HAD PRACTICE AT THAT, TOO.
IT'S NOT LIKE RIDING A BIKE.
LIKE YOU KIND OF, YOU KNOW,
ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW TO DO IT.
I HAD TO RELEARN HOW TO DANCE.
IT WAS FUN.
I GOT TO DO IT WITH HUGH, WHO IS
A MANIAC.
FIRST TRY, HE'S AMAZING.
WE KEPT WORKING AND CHIPPING
AWAY.
AND EVENTUALLY, WE GOT GOOD AT
THE NUMBER.

HIM ON ANOTHER LEVEL?
JUST BEING, LIKE, FRIENDS.
WHAT IS THAT LIKE FOR YOU TWO?

HE IS MY IDOL IN MANY WAYS.
I LOOK UP TO THE GUY.
HE WAS AWESOME TO WORK WITH.
>> "LA LA LAND" WAS SO
SUCCESSFUL.
AND THE MUSIC IN THIS IS
SUCCESSFUL.
AND I THINK THE "LA LA LAND"
WRITERS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH
THIS, AS WELL.
>> THIS IS ALL-ORIGINAL.
WE'RE TELLING THE STORY OF P.T.
BARNUM, BUT IT'S LOOSELY BASED
ON THAT.

LEADING WITH LOVE IN LIFE.
AND SO, IT'S REALLY GREAT.
>> THE COSTUMES ARE BEAUTIFUL.
AND WE HAPPEN TO HAVE THEM ALL
OVER THE PLACE AROUND US.
GETTING INTO THE PERIOD
COSTUMES, DID THAT PUT YOU THE
RIGHT FRAME OF MIND TO PLAY YOUR
CHARACTER?
>> LITERALLY.
YOU TIGHTEN PANTS ABOVE YOUR
BELLY BUTTON AND WEAR
SUSPENDERS.
>> THAT'S NOT YOUR NORMAL
SATURDAY NIGHT, I GUESS.
>> NOT TYPICAL.
>> SPEAK OF GETTING INTO
CHARACTER, YOU'RE PLAYING TED
BUNDY NEXT.
ARE YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL
THAT?

THIS ONE.

STOCKINGS AND THAT KIND OF
STUFF.
