This is his first time at the festival and he's wanted to go for years. 2:12 Gives a quick synopsis of the film and talks about what attracted him to the project. Says his agent initially told him to pass because the role didn't have a lot of lines. 5:17 Talks about how many takes he prefers to do. Discusses how actors don't generally get to choose how many takes they want. 6:40 Reveals the most amount of takes he's ever had to do. The project was Dorian Gray with Colin Firth and he couldn't keep a straight face during one particular scene. 8:06 What's his go-to karaoke song?

His Columbian mother, whom he neglected to tell that De Niro and Keaton got divorced, decides to come to the wedding.

Says he tries to do the opposite and become extremely relaxed. 12:30 Discusses The Seventh Son with Jeff Bridges. Says he starts filming next month.
