00:00I met Taylor Swift once and I said, you're Taylor Swift, and she was very funny.
00:05Joseph Quinn may be one of Hollywood's biggest rising stars, but even he's admitting he reacted
00:11the way many of us would when meeting a mega superstar, and he's still shaking it off.
00:16The Stranger Things star appeared on the July 1st episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast
00:21talking to Josh Horowitz.
00:23Quinn was asked if he had ever had any cringeworthy moments on a red carpet or at an award show.
00:29The A Quiet Place Day One actor then recalled the time he met Taylor Swift and how she handled
00:35him being starstruck.
00:37Was there anything of that time that you now look back on with shame or cringing on like,
00:42oh my God, I didn't know.
00:43Most of it, yes.
00:44I mean, the stuff that comes out of your mouth when you're not, when you're caught off guard
00:50is quite, yeah, a lot to cringe about, I think.
00:53Give me one nightmare.
00:54Give me one.
00:55Okay.
00:56I presented an award.
00:57I was on a carpet.
00:58I did the wrong thing.
01:00Is there anything that haunted you a little bit?
01:02Oh, God.
01:03Is there anything that kind of, it's one kind of miscellany of cringe, I think.
01:09It's just the whole.
01:10That's the title of your autobiography you're working on, right?
01:13Maybe one chapter of it, God willing, hopefully we'll wrap that up soon.
01:18The cringe years.
01:20I think I met Taylor Swift once and I said, you're Taylor Swift.
01:26And she was very funny.
01:28She said something nice about the show and I said, oh, thanks.
01:31You're Taylor Swift.
01:32It meant as a compliment.
01:33I mean, it is a compliment.
01:34It is.
01:35It's definitely a compliment.
01:36I remember thinking that was stupid, but she was very good-humored about it.
01:42That's one thing.
01:43Yeah.
01:44That's good.
01:45But you guys are on good terms now.
01:46She's forgiven and forgotten.
01:47Excellent.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Great, great terms.
01:50Yeah.
01:51You're on the next album.
01:52You're.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Exclusive.
01:55What happened to your eyes just now?
01:56They just went.
01:57Well, we're just, we're trying to figure it out.
01:58She hasn't mentioned anything.
01:59She hasn't.
02:00Yeah.
02:01Doesn't reach out at all.
02:02Quinn is having a big year.
02:04He's in the highly anticipated Gladiator 2 film set for November, and he stars alongside
02:10Lupita Nyong'o in the Quiet Place prequel, which was released in June.
02:15Access chatted with him at the film's red carpet premiere about working with a lot of
02:19big names recently, including pal Pedro Pascal.
02:22You and Lupita, the chemistry is incredible.
02:26What surprised you about working with her?
02:29What surprised me about her?
02:30Oh, a lot.
02:32She's incredible.
02:33This was no surprise to me.
02:34I was a massive fan of her for years, and being able to have the opportunity to work
02:38with her was such a treat and one that I learned a lot from.
02:41So I don't know if she surprised me in that respect.
02:43She lived up to every projection that I had onto her.
02:47And then some.
02:48She's a remarkable person and a formidable actor.
02:50Yeah.
02:51Well, this is quite a year for you.
02:54Several roles coming up from Gladiator 2 to Fantastic Four.
02:58How are you handling this right now?
03:00Wellness check.
03:01How?
03:02Thank you for the wellness check.
03:03How am I handling it?
03:04I guess you just have to focus on the day in front of you, and it's a fascinating experience.
03:10Every job provides a different set of challenges that you have to overcome with a different
03:14set of castmates.
03:16So I'm finding it fascinating.
03:19It's obviously, at times, a little overwhelming, but it's certainly not boring.
03:24Well, we've seen Brad Pitt in the Roman skirt.
03:27We've seen Russell Crowe in the Roman skirt.
03:30How's the uniform treating you?
03:31What was it like shaving off into a gladiator?
03:36I can't tell you much because they'll come for the people that I care about.
03:41But I can tell you that we worked very hard on it, and it's the world that people can
03:45expect from the first film, explored again, but it's dialed up to 11.
03:50We've got some fantastic people in the cast.
03:52Denzel Washington, Paul Meskel, Pedro Pascal, Connie Nielsen is coming back to show us the
03:58ropes, and it was an incredible experience, and yeah, it'll be out in November.
04:02You and Pedro really can't escape each other, huh, because now you're doing the Fantastic
04:06Four.
04:07Is there a real bromance there yet with you guys?
04:09He won't leave me alone.
04:12Is he FaceTiming, calling?
04:15Yes, we catch up with each other.
04:19He's a wonderful man, and I'm very lucky to be able to do this next project with him.
04:25He's a funny man.
