In any case, he looked after me in loads of various ways, particularly in the background – not letting me know that he was working on something for me, however it was done to make sure that it. Although him being one of the chief producers means that he had a hand in casting me, so that was really crazy to comprehend.”

I cherished sharing that second with him – we were both like, ‘This is horrendous.’ Yet I can’t compare to what he’s done – he’s in the entire movie and I’m in a portion of the movie. I don’t know how he does it – he does all his own stunts!”
