Timothée: “I was just immediately relieved. I had only heard amazing, literally bizarrely, had only heard amazing things about Austin from some actors he had worked with and producers but then you meet someone by the destiny of the script that you have to work with intimately. So ok this is not only an amazing talent but a great guy. I think he’s [Feyd] my favorite character in the movie. I love everyone but from the first table Zoom I was blown away. It’s easy to say now, because you did such an amazing job but it’s exactly what that role needed and demands in some way.”
Interviewer: “Come on when you hear him talk about you. What do you think?’
Austin: “I’m just blushing over you [Timothée]. I respect him so much. Can we also talk about his performance in this? He knocked it out of the park. It’s so cool to see the transition from that first film and to see the maturity and the gravitas come out and you get to knock the roof off. It’s incredible.”
