“I play the most rudimentary man ever named Gus.
And he’s beautiful,” Lillard tells GamesRadar+.
“I think he’s funny.
I think that the movie opened at Toronto International Film Festival.
I had never seen it with a big audience.
I’d seen it in a small screening room.
We were, I think, all surprised that people were laughing a lot.
But on top of it, I think it really shifts the movie into in an emotional place.
Lillard’s Gus is a construction worker neighbor who finds zen amid the chaos.
Lillard continues: “You know, [Mike] and I are buddies.
A mutual friend introduced us.
We had, like, a traditional sort of Hollywood lunch that went on for 3 hours.
You know, that doesn’t happen.
And we just got along really well.
I feel like both of us came at this because we’re outcasts.
And I’m like, I would do it.
I just wanna be in your world.
Um, and that started.
And within that, you know, I find familiar spirits.”
