I don't remember that.
That's also True Blood.
That's not True Blood.
I mean, I remember the line.
I knew that.
This one offered herself to me.
But I found her too pathetic for my attentions.
It's gotta be True Blood.
It sounds very Eric Northman-y.
This one offered herself to me.
I found her too pathetic for my attentions.
I was a little scared and I didn't really know how to play Eric, how much I should lean into the menacing aspect of the character, how playful he should be.
Up until day one, the character's only existed in your head.
And then suddenly you meet him for the first time and he's out there, and it can be slightly unsettling or surprising.
I do remember that day because I felt like am I
Making him too much of a caricature?
Is this too cliche villain?
It wasn't until season two.
I would say that I really started to fully understand the character and fully enjoy the character.
I miss playing him.
It was so much fun.
I think it's been 10 years now since the final season of it.
I don't know if he'll ever come back.
I'm okay with it being over.
Orange mocha frappuccino.
It's from Zoolander.
Orange Mocha Frappuccino!
My first job, I could not believe my luck.
I didn't even have representation.
I was on vacation in LA visiting my dad, and his manager sent me out to this audition.
It was my very first audition.
And two weeks later I was in New York City with Ben Stiller screaming Orange Mocha Frappuccino, getting soaked in gasoline and dancing to Wham and dying in a gasoline fight.
It was a very surreal experience.
I'm not sick of it.
So please, if you've ever seen me scream orange mocha frappuccino in my face, I love it.
Or throw an orange mocha frappuccino in my face.
If I have a signature look when I model, it's probably constipated surprise.
Like, that's my look, kind of.
That's what I go for if I'm on a fashion photo shoot or something.
Thank you, sir.
I am his vengeance.
That's from The Northman.
I am his vengeance!
I Am His Vengeance is the end of the line.
It starts out, A couple other badass lines, and then I end it with I Am His Vengeance.
Forgot half of it, but it was absolutely extraordinary.
Many years in the making.
I met Rob Eggers probably almost 10 years ago, when we first started talking about this.
It took a long time to kind of come together, but the way it finally did come together was beyond my wildest dreams.
Leather and jeans, garage glamorous.
Not sure what it means, but this photo of us, it don't have a price.
No.
I knew that.
I didn't know who she was.
At the time, Jonas Ockerlund, the director of the video, is a friend of mine.
And he reached out.
I think we were shooting the first season of True Blood here in LA at the time.
And he reached out and asked, he's like, I'm doing this music video with Lady Gaga over the weekend.
Do you want to come up to Malibu and try to kill each other?
I said, sounds fun, sounds fun.
And that was it.
It was two days, and I had a blast.
And to this day, it's my claim to fame.
And I'm not invited to this Disney thing?
I don't remember that.
This Disney thing, would it be Big Little Lies?
I'm not invited to this Disney thing.
Oh, that was a really interesting scene to shoot because it just takes this really dark, surprising turn.
Perry has this scary quality of suddenly like going from being loving and caring to suddenly offended, and it goes really dark really, really fast.
It was so beautifully constructed the scene that it was really quite interesting.
And again to get to do that with Nicole, who's one of the greatest actors out there was a dream, but also really mentally draining.
It was hard.
And I was staying with some friends and they at the time had young kids.
And that was really helpful for me, because it was so nice to come home to normal family life with happy kids.
After going down the dark abyss with Nicole, I'm glad I didn't stay alone at a hotel, but I got to go home to a warm household with laughter and love.
Buy yourself a butt plug.
You're too tight.
That is from Pillion.
Buy yourself a butt plug.
You're too tight.
Yeah.
It was such an unusual love story, coming of age story.
It felt very particular to the BDSM world, but at the same time, quite universal.
It's about for Colin finding his own sexuality, what he's into, what he's not into, and falling in love for the first time, the trials and tribulations of that and all those elements, but set in this very specific world of kinky gay bikers.
And I was very surprised reading it because it was so funny and awkward and tender and it had a sweetness that I didn't expect.
I never take the stairs.
I usually take the curtains.
That's also True Blood.
That's not True Blood.
I mean, I remember the line.
Shit.
Tarzan, yeah, that's right.
I was thinking, like, flying.
Eric Northman, like, flying up the curtains or something.
Oh, I never take the stairs.
I usually take the curtains.
The hardest part was probably the isolation.
I didn't really see friends and family for nine months.
It was physically and mentally a really intense job.
And I felt like all my energy had to go into that.
So I didn't really have the energy to see anyone.
And we were shooting it in London.
I was on a very strict diet so I couldn't go out and grab a pint with friends, or even a meal, because it was like all pre-packaged.
They would weigh the meals and I would eat on a specific time.
And it was an incredible group of people.
So like having the family or the film family meant a lot to me.
The only other time I've had to do a similar transformation was on The Northman, which was also quite physically tough.
But I think on The Northman, I was less stressed about it.
$300,000.
That's the cost to raise your average middle class white kid.
That's Brad, Iceman, Colbert on Generation Kill.
$300,000, Trombley.
That's a cost to raise your average middle class white kid.
It was six years after Orange Mocha Frappuccino and I had done a couple of smaller jobs in Sweden.
I didn't have like a great career in Sweden and I was getting nothing here in the States.
In those years I auditioned for Pretty much everything.
Generation Kill came up.
I read the book.
I was blown away by it.
I thought it was a masterpiece.
It was a horrible auditioning process.
I wanted it so badly.
And getting this close to something that was so good, was scary.
I spent the first three months on the shoot certain that they would replace me.
I was completely confident that there's no way they're gonna let me do this.
It just felt too good to be true.
I was doing the math of how much would it cost HBO to replace me.
So it wasn't until the second half of it that I could relax a bit and enjoy it.
I was driven by fear the first month.
Well, we're going to fly through these because I don't know.
I don't remember this one.
What?
No.
You didn't even touch your Negroni.
You didn't even touch your Negroni.
Succession?
Atlanta.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
No, you didn't even touch your Negroni.
I had met Donald Glover through mutual friends and thought he was wonderful and obviously incredibly talented.
Just a beautiful energy to be around.
He reached out and asked if I wanted to come in and do this little thing, and he pitched it and it just sounded so fun.
They're eating hands at the end or something like we're doing some crazy stuff, like it's when people you enjoy being around, who also happen to be very talented, reach out and ask if you want to come play, then of course you come play.
Failure, that's the secret.
As much failure as possible, as fast as possible.
Just burn that shit out, that's interesting.
Okay, that's Lucas Mattson from Succession.
As much failure as possible, as fast as possible.
Burn that shit out.
That's interesting.
A huge fan of the show they and again, it was kind of supposed to be just another little cameo.
When they reached out it was supposed to be two episodes.
It was actually, at the time, the only show i was like watching on television religiously, like every episode.
I'd seen it twice and thought it was absolutely brilliant.
There was no conversation of about lucas being in season four, so did those episodes?
Two ended up being three and then i didn't know the way season three ends.
It's kind of opens up a possibility for a continuation.
But I didn't know anything until a couple of months later, when Jesse reached out and asked if I wanted to come back for the final season.
If you play one of the richest dudes on the planet, you're going to go to some pretty fun locations.
