Have a scene where people were crying and then afterwards, you know, it's back to
reality and we're joking
about it. Sorry kids, to ruin the magic of movies but it's not real.
Obviously, you've worked on Stephen King's renowned IT, who is most likely to get
genuinely scared while shooting a horror scene, you or Finn Wolfhard?
Finn Wolfhard, he's scared of bananas. We used to-, I chased him around with a-,
with a banana peel one time, and he turned around and said, 'Dude, I'll sock your
face off, alright.' It was funny, you should've seen when he thought he was
really (inaudible 00.32), 'Dude, don't make me do it.' It was so funny.
So, there's no fear in you? I would say there were some scary moments.
There were some scary moments. I wasn't scared because I knew that it was
make-believe. I just had fun, like it was just so funny.
That's good. That's good. I don't know how I would've coped, I'm not a clown person
myself.
Well, yeah, me neither, I don't think a lot of people are but, but Bill Skarsgård
is a really nice guy. If anybody could turn me into a clown person, it's him.
The right person, yeah, he is. Okay, so as well, how did you work with Timothée
Chalamet to perfect a younger version of your character in Beautiful Boy?
My mom had lunch with him, like, every day for some reason, and I didn't. I barely
hung out with him-, well, the closest I ever got with him was that we-, I don't
know we changed into wet suits in the same room, which was like brotherly or
selvesly, I play him yeah. Anyway-,
Did you kind of mirror him, or was it, kind of, more your own interpretation of
what you thought a younger version of the character would be?
Well, they met Nic Sheff. I met Nic, the real Nic Sheff,
and I, kind of, just did that. I, kind of, like met him and looked into his eyes and,
and I was like, 'I love you, man,' and, and I tried to-, I tried to capture
the, like the prime youth innocence before, you
know, it's tampered with.
Yeah.
That's really interesting, that's really interesting actually. So, next up I would
like to talk to you about a bit about Don't Tell a Soul, and I wanted to ask
you, how did you keep it light working with Fion Whitehead and Rainn Wilson, on
such a dark story?
You just do. I mean, you don't carry this stuff around with you. I mean, for some
people, some actors do, I sometimes do, I am fortunate enough to have this thing
where I can turn it on and off and turn it on and off, pretty well. So, I mean and a
lot of the other actors too, like we'll have a scene where people were crying and
then afterwards, you know, it's back to reality and we're joking
about it. Sorry kids, to ruin the magic of movies but it's not real.
(Video played 02.41) 'Woah,' 'Anyone see us?' 'No, we're good.' 'Where you headed
in you-,'
'Hey,' 'Run.' 'Get back here.' 'Hello?' 'Hello?'
'I am stuck down here, I cannot get out by myself.' 'That man, is someone else's
problem.' 'Matt, we can't just leave him there.'
'We stole $12,600, what you wanna get busted?' In the film Shazam, who was the
bigger prankster between you and Zachary Levi?
Me. Yeah.
You?
I did a lot of messed up stuff, a lot of messed up stuff. I,
well, okay, there was-, there was a baby powder incident where Asher was-,
Incident?
The baby powder incident. So, there was like a powder-, I think a powder, like
baby powder, and I didn't know that if I squeezed it like all the powder would come
out, I thought that I would have to like tip it over and do that so the powder
would come out. Actually, I don't know, I kind of think I knew maybe a little bit,
and, and I grabbed it and I like-, and Asher was like, 'Oh my God, what's that?'
and I like, grabbed it and I sprayed it on him, on his clothes, on his face, and in
his hair everywhere, but it was only one squeeze that I did and it was everywhere,
and then I was like, 'Oh,' and I handed it to him and I ran away.
(Inaudible 03.57) and he like held it and I ran away and he was, like, holding it,
and a couple of people were like, 'Asher, come on man, why would you do that?' and
he was like-,
If you're not there it doesn't count. You don't need any responsibility-,
But Asher was so cool because he didn't snitch on me. He was like, 'I don't-, I
don't know.'
Aw, that is cool. How does working with Luca,
on directing on We Are Who We Are, compare with what you knew about him from seeing
Call Me By Your Name?
Timothée Chalamet is in both of them,
actually, he is. There's a cameo of him, there's a cameo of him and Armie Hammer,
wow it's weird to
talk
about-,
I don't know the answer is, they're both different. They're different movies.
They're different projects and, and
I may have-, yeah Frazer and what's his name, Frazer and Elio are same, same but
different, that's my answer.
Oh, that's cool. That's cool. Well thank you so much.
Thank you.
That's all of my questions.
