00:00I'm really good friends with one of, with his kids, and especially his youngest daughter is

00:05one of my closest friends. So I have seen Denzel a lot over the years, just as, you know, Olivia's

00:12dad. He's very surprised every time he sees me, you know, like, you're a woman, you're a woman.

00:18It's like, I am. Yep, I am. And he's very protective of me. And, but it was so funny,

00:26because when I did the first scene on Equalizer 3 with him, I just had this, like, visceral feeling.

00:32I felt like I was nine years old driving in that car with him in Mexico City, doing Man of Fire.

00:37I got the same feeling. It was something I never expected to get to work with him again. And even

00:43though it's obviously a completely different dynamic, I do feel like the relationships in

00:47both movies share something, I think, like a protective quality or, you know, that sort of

00:52thing. So it was, it was really interesting and exciting to get to do that again 20 years later.
