00:00Ryan, what was that final selling point to Hugh to get him to join the film?
00:04I never ever sold Hugh. He auditioned like everybody else and, you know, got the part.
00:09Six auditions.
00:10Yeah, did really well. That last one, though, really blew it.
00:13I didn't understand why I had to be naked for the last audition.
00:16Yeah, that's just the process.
00:17Are you going to cash in on anything for a project that you want Ryan to work on in the future?
00:22Oh, yeah, every project he's working on.
00:25Yeah, not as an actor, but like he's...
00:27We'll do a quick po-po around here.
00:28No, not as an actor or writer or producer, but he's wonderful, like support for me.
00:33Yes.
00:34And he carries my bags and he's really, really helpful and it'd be great to have him in.
00:37I'm going to be Hugh Jackman's valet.
00:39And looking back, any regrets of X-Men Origins, Wolverine?
00:42Because without it we wouldn't get to this.
00:43No.
00:44Regrets? No.
00:45No regrets.
00:46Zero, come on.
00:47That's a terrible thing to ask because it's like giving birth to this incredible friendship.
00:52You know, that movie, a lot of people don't realize, was shot in the middle of a writer's strike.
00:56One of the hardest ways to shoot a film you could ever imagine.
00:59And I think like the perseverance that you showed and everybody else.
01:04Also, I got to watch the most classy, like kind, intelligent, you know, wickedly disciplined movie star at the time
01:13welcome me onto a set and I got to have that behavior modeled for me at a pretty formative time in my life
01:19and I'm always grateful to Hugh for that.
01:21What is different about working together in this movie?
01:25Oh, I don't know.
01:26I mean, you know, usually it's like we're, we can, we can, you know, be pretty relaxed hanging out
01:31but I got to be in sort of awe the whole time.
01:33So it's kind of cool.
01:34It's like looking at your friend who suddenly becomes a rock star or something.
01:36It was wild.
01:37It's insane.
01:38How did the collaboration with Stray Kids come about?
01:40Well, Korea is like a hub of culture, cinema, music, everything.
01:44So, you know, I met with them years ago and I love them, yeah.
