00:00Congratulations on the movie.
00:01Thank you so much.
00:02I've been involved in things like Star Wars, Walking Dead, Loki, from an early age.
00:05You've been living around imaginary friends for years now, I would imagine, as part of your job.
00:10So this must have been a walk in the park.
00:12Yeah, it was definitely very different from anything I've ever done.
00:15Most of the stuff I've done has been very dark and deep and this is also deep but in a different way
00:20and I feel very lucky to be here.
00:22Being a little bit closer to the age of kids who would have had imaginary friends,
00:26did you have anything to fall back on, any memories of that age?
00:30I remember having imaginary enemies when I was very young.
00:33Enemies?
00:33Yeah, I know, just people I was like adversaries and such like.
00:38I didn't have an if growing up but I did collect stuffed animals
00:42and I still love stuffed animals so much.
00:44I feel like they're little souls trapped in there.
00:46But that's kind of... I use my imagination that way but also through acting.
00:51I got to play all these different characters and in some way I think those are my ifs.
00:55And finally before they drag you away, one person you didn't have to imagine in this
00:58was working with Ryan Reynolds.
00:59Yes.
01:00One of the most sought after jobs in film right now is to get to work with Ryan Reynolds.
01:04What's that guy's energy like?
01:06I love Ryan. I adore him. I look up to him and I'm so grateful to have learned from him
01:10just by watching him. He's very creative. He's always got great ideas on the table
01:14and obviously he's hilarious. Anytime he was on set, I was laughing.
01:18But he's also very sweet so I think you get to see that side of him in this movie.
