BEAUTIFUL BOY interviews - Timothee Chalamet, Steve Carell, Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone

and your suit last night dude that was unreal dude how'd you get that - hi I think was I need to get one of those yes I agree the only one who has that is that like a personal suit yes can you get me in touch with that design yes yes yeah Kevin McCarthy Washington DC alright so I am so fascinated by the fact that your character is played by four different actors yeah and I am curious from each of you for you did you get to work with or talk with the younger versions of yourself to kind of get that through line of who he is and for you you're dealing with Nick at different ages so how was that to act with different people playing that same character so I guess for you first like did you get to interact with them at all yet um I don't remember this but we were rehearsing and 12 year old and they came in and was really really excited to meet Steve and it was just I was gonna impersonate it but I won't but it was just like you gotta do it yeah cuz we just came in anyone Michaels just it was I said the stairs remember I was like that is what I wanted to say or do when I met him but I felt like I had to act like cool or something so oh that's quite but sorry but answer the question no and I think you just I just got lucky with I I think again that's more of I've I've always been on the younger side this is my first time I've had young girl ooh I'm always the younger version of someone on the older more established actor handed them and I think it's just you get lucky with the casting director or the director something it's certainly Jacqueline grazer who has yeah and he's really um he's really excellent in the phone and he was in it and it was so crazy cuz like before coming by her name came out I think it came came out before that and he was like there's all these pictures oh yeah of course that's thinking oh my god they're gonna like play possess me Stephen Jack are you working with the different versions of Nick was that as it was to get that through line of being a father to that same child yeah you talk about just that what that was like for you as an actor well um you know I I obviously work most with Timothy so you sort of transpose the feelings that we generated as the older Nick to these younger kids as well and and the the genesis of you know who this wonderful person started as but they're they're all great you know they're all very open and it's you know I'm I'm a dad so it's all of those feelings and emotions are sort of right there I might go home every night and my kids would be there and and so it it wasn't that hard to kind of generate this affection for you know the kids playing Mike my son when you went home at night would you hug your kids a little harder not sure I would imagine that's hard for you to go home and just kind of go back to being Steve Carell yeah you know every night and and I have a post-mortem every night with my wife she'd ask me what what happened today like she'd see it in my face and what did you shoot and and how do you feel because it's it did and I think it we both felt the same way about this it really got inside of us and it sounds so accurate and kind of cliche but we felt a responsibility to the material and to each other and to Felix and certainly to the chef's that Minh and it's timely and it's universal and so yeah I would take that stuff home and my wife my wife would just shake her head and said oh man I have this I I have to like brace myself she was she was getting emotional just hearing stories about the day of shooting let alone actually seeing any sort of product one thing I find interesting are choices that actors make to put into the character and this might be the most miniscule thing I noticed but I thought it was interesting when you're giving that speech about being in recovery to that crowd your hands in your pocket and your fiddling with the bottom of your shirt now and and this might have been something you did subconsciously but I'm curious are little things like that consciously done like like the little tics or the little movements he does the way he maybe even just the hand in the pocket I'm curious like even I'm just that specifically but just little movements you do as a character or all those chosen or do they just happen man well I think it's Lord of both and I think like as an audience member what's always been exciting to me I mean there's movies you write or the writing with those movies you you see where the writing is is excellent or or a certain narrative structure as a star but I really like you know like behavior based yeah like movies and and for something like that I mean I don't know I don't know if the answer is I guess the I guess it's like for every role I play it's you know my I'm not as interested in wearing different scarves and different roles as in as much as like in chasing a certain feeling is a quote that I've heard that I really like and that's beliefs to acting and and and for that kind of scene you know as long as I don't recognize like very specific things about myself hmm good I feel like that's like a lion cross especially playing a character then any and all things that are like you know I feel raw or something I like to take in because I feel like as audiences it makes it resonate warm feels more like real life and generalities the enemy of art so you're trying to make it as intricate and detailed as possible and you get to shoot linearly because I feel like good since you guys are going in and out of so many different timelines and you're going through recovery you're going then you get back into relapse do you get to do any of that linearly like would there be a day where you would be like in recovery but also in kind of yeah would you ever have to jump in and out of that in the same day Oh constantly Wow yeah we in shoot linear at all I know it was round what it's like they try to make it as hard and this is a question actors get a lot and I'm always been curious about because certain actors have certain ways that they can shake things off and go home when you do something like this though is does it affect how you go home at night well I was I wasn't home when I shot this film I was in Los Angeles my family was back in New York and I have a lot of really great friends in LA but you know to be honest I found myself not not in any dangerous way but I didn't leave the hotel I go to work I'd go back to the hotel and just like tried I you know read some other book to try to get myself out of it but it is hard to read other novels or such when I'm working on on a film I just stayed quiet I felt like it felt dangerous out there in the world let me just stay contained and save here filmmaking question for you I've always been curious bout this with phone conversations you're on the phone ctrl a lot in the film do you actually get to speak to each other or is it like an ad or a director because those scenes are so emotional and we know we had each other on the other end phone calls yeah we were off camera or you know there's one scene Steve was just crouched behind the couch reading lines for me and then I would do the same for him there's just one at the very end be where we were trying to pipe it in through an old cell phone but it was too old so the 8d read those lines and that one instance but I was mentioning too that I just saw Michelle Monaghan the other day and I think one of the my favorite movies one of the best movies ever made comba be gone and I never got to speak to you for that film there's a question I've always wanted to ask specifically about that ending considering obviously this kind of ties into what we were hearing dealing with here parenting and that character as well I'm wondering just I always wanted to know what you would have done in that situation because I always found that such a one of the most morally divisive movies I've ever seen in my life and regards to what someone would do at the end yeah I mean that seems like a good option to let a child go live with Morgan Freeman and his lovely wife in the film but really you can't kidnap a child - yeah no that's that's the brutal way I think I think being honest with children is the best way and if a parent isn't able well then we stand behind that family as a community and help them help them raise that their child as we sit here right now you know you're like like what nice people have met in my life you're so cool but you placed such emotionally-driven roles that just I would imagine take a toll and you take a lot out of you as you sit here right now or any of the characters you play kind of still with you I know that's a weird question ask us some actors go when I'm done I leave them I'm good but do any of them kind of remain with you you know in like a little bit I mean the kind of funny thing after Gone Baby Gone is that I could I couldn't stop swearing like a sailor this can continue but uh no I'm pretty was at all I think of them and lined up in a room together you know it makes me laugh to think of all these women who wouldn't know each other the usual suspects they lie to mom like oh yeah we're not for me being their their advocate yeah well nice to meet you Amy thank you for the
