00:00 How are you feeling tonight?
00:02 I couldn't be happier to be here. It's my first time in the festival and I just watched the movie yesterday for the first time and I love it.
00:12 Yeah, so I'm pretty, pretty happy and I hope the audience feel the same as I did shooting and watching the movie.
00:20 The movie got a seven minute standing ovation at Venice. How does it feel to be a part of a film that's being so well received by everyone?
00:26 I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing, especially in Venice because we are talking about like an Italian icon and we shot in Italy, we shot in Modena.
00:37 And so to know that people that were on that festival in Italy had like a great experience, it's phenomenal. It's amazing.
00:49 I wish I were there, but I was shooting. I couldn't make it to the festival, but I was a little bit far, but I was pretty happy about the movie.
01:00 And how was it working with Adam and Penelope Cruz?
01:03 Big honor for me. Since I started acting, I'm a huge fan of their work. Adam is a big reference for me as a male actor.
01:12 And I mean, unfortunately, I didn't have scenes with Penelope, but most of my scenes were with Adam and we had a great time together.
01:23 So, I mean, it was unbelievable for me.
