Harry told the Independent that neither he nor Christian practiced the traditional sort of method acting.

“My experience working on it was that we’d turn up, not really talk about the scene, and just start playing it,” he explained.

There was a caveat to his answer: “There was no staying in character, but I guess you’re always held within some form of character just because you’re wearing the clothes and you’re in that environment as that person.”

Harry also noted that Christian was “one of the most generous performers I’ve ever worked with.”

The Pale Blue Eyes premiered in select theaters on December 23. It will arrive on Netflix on January 6. Check out some pics of the cast from the premiere!
