“But I love that the whole time he’s not acting. He’s really upset with me. He’s like, ‘Can this guy just shut the fuck up? Oh my God,'” Will joked.
“In that movie I literally drove him crazy, just acting like that kid. But the funniest thing was seeing him walk out of the theater, shake his head and say, ‘That’s great,'” Will admitted.
